Intern Dave had a rough day with his choice of junk food. I'll let him explain it...

Dear D.C. Metro Area,
Today on my way into work, I stopped by the 7-Eleven off Rollins Avenue in Rockville, Maryland. As I was pulling up to the checkout-line, Sour Patch Kids Berries and Cool Blue Gatorade in hand– I know, I eat like I’m 8 – my eye stopped on a bag of UTZ Salt ‘n Vinegar potato chips. I’ll first start off by saying; Salt ‘n Vinegar are by far my favorite potato chip. And UTZ? My favorite brand. So I decided to splurge for the 99-cent chips.
I get to work and begin to eat my bag of Salt ‘n Vinegar potato chips. First pinch: “Aww good ‘ol Salt ‘n Vinegar.” Second pinch: "There’s some funky business going on here." Third pinch: "Something is definitely wrong." Fourth pinch: I check to make sure I left the house with pants on. And fifth pitch: I realize that the chips I’m eating are NOT Salt ‘n Vinegar.
I’m eating UTZ Original potato chips packaged in a Salt ‘n Vinegar bag. As I crunch down on the bitter, tasteless chip disappointment floods my mind. I stop; debate if I want to finish this bag and convince myself the Salt ‘n Vinegar must have fallen to the bottom of the bag. We ride to Gondar. Or simply put it, I continued to eat the bag. The closer I get to the bottom, the more I realize that the bag is entirely UTZ Original.
My first reaction was, "How could they?’" Then, I realized that I must contact UTZ of Hanover to let them know there must have been a packaging mishap over in Hanover and that many-a-people in the UTZ of Hanover distributing area may be facing a similar fate.
I called, was transferred and sent to voicemail. With no reply and 5PM barreling ever so close. I turn to Mike Jones' blog. So, I say to you people of the UTZ of Hanover distributing area, if you find yourself eyeing down a bag of 99-cent Salt ‘n Vinegar potato chips, be warned. You are taking a gamble that you may not want to take.
Sincerely ya-boy,
Intern Dave

A sad tale indeed! I only hope that Dave's misfortune can guide you in your path to potato chip goodness. Godspeed.
