Everybody Loves Kitco

We all have our hobbies and likes and dislikes. But there are certain points in our lives where things reach out of hand and become addictions. We have all heard of cocaine, heroin, etc. addicts. You hear about food addicts and alcohol addicts. Even internet and television addicts. But i doubt anyone has heard of the Kitco addict! Kitco cocktail chips/crisps(for you british tw*ts) have been around for a long time, and even rebranded their logo’s to a freaky looking bunny a few years back. A good friend of ours every weekend in the chalet used to always brings bags and bags of Kitco Cocktail with him. They would be available at every corner, table, and section of the sitting area. Thats besides his own stash just in case the inventory was going low. (no one ever found out where he actually would hide his stash until this day) And just in case it all finished out, there was always the portable Baqala with a healthy amount available. We used to tell him he was addicted to it as a joke!

He used to think it was funny as well, until suddenly he just stopped bringing it with him. For a while no one noticed cuz he was the only one really in love with it. But after a sitting down session with him he told us it contained the ingredient MSG. All of us wondered what it was and he told us it was used by Chinese people in their food to give good flavor. But this ingredient also, if taken in great amounts, like himself, could lead to cancer. That was kind of scary actually, our kids eat that stuff.

I decided to do my own research about  the ingredient of MSG (Monsodium Glutumate). Also, know as the Chinese restraunt syndrome, he was right about that. So what does it do? If youre too lazy to click on the link basically it can cause to some people things like nauseaness, headaches, flushing, sweating, etc. blah blah. No cancer, no AIDS, no alzheimers, not even swine flu.  And this is from Mayo Clinic, not from some teen magazine. This got me thinking about our friend. He is a fit guy, always going to the gym, eating healthy most of the time and takes good care of himself. Why did he always have a soft spot for Kitco Cocktail? After pondering this for a long time(about 20 seconds), i decided he was an addict and making up the story to try to stop anyone else bringing it to the chalet.  I would want to test out his willpower by doing it, but i think it would be pretty amusing seeing him in a Kitco Rehab trying to recover. To all you Kitco addicts out there, “Keep on Eating”.

UPDATE:

Our mutual friend Mr Kitco  has just told me that the person whom informed him about MSG’s link to cancer is actually a dentist and not a real doctor.
