In this week’s column, I wrote:
Many administrators I know like spicy food. (I’m not sure why. Having grown up in southern Louisiana, I have a large extended family that glories in eating stuff hot enough to peel paint; maybe I just gravitate to people who remind me of my cousins.) I recently learned of Blair’s Death Rain habanero potato chips, supposedly the hottest chip you can buy. I have some on order; if you’re interested, drop me an email message and I’ll let you know whether they’re a worthy gift for the snack-happy admin on your list.
So, I go look in the mail folder where column comments go, and there are seven or eight messages from people wanting to know more. This is unusual, insofar that a typical column will generate one or two responses, and this one’s only two days old. I don’t even have the chips yet, but it’s cool to see my linkage between Exchange admins and spicy food being experimentally confirmed.
For my readers: I ordered the chips from IronQ.com. They were $30 for a mixed case of 2oz bags. We’re eating them at our holiday party, so I’ll post a full report once I’ve tested them.

Most online sites that sell Blair’s chips only offer that “mixed variety” option. If you just want the habanero flavor (my favorite by far), go here:

I believe it’s the actual Blair’s site.
