    Default surprise in bag of chips

    Bag of pot found in bag of potato chips

    DES MOINES, Iowa -- A woman bought a bag of potato chips at a convenience store but discovered more than munchies in the bag.

    Lois Campbell, 42, of Des Moines, opened the small sack of Uncle Ray's garlic-flavored chips Saturday and found another bag inside.

    "We were eating a few of the chips, and I was about to give some to a 3-year-old child," Campbell said. "I thought it was a little bag of seasoning inside. When I saw what it was, I called the police."

    A police report said the contents of the heat-sealed bag smelled like marijuana.

    The leafy substance -- and the chips -- were seized as evidence.

    The Git-N-Go store where Campbell bought the snacks has taken the rest of the Uncle Ray's chips off its shelves, said Mandi Lockridge.

    The chips were packaged in Detroit, Lockridge said.

    "To find out what was in there, they will have trace it back to Detroit," she said. http://www.boston.com/news/daily/01/odds_chips.htm
    Explain this one Uncle Ray!

    Well, I guess they figured you had the pot and the munchies in the same bag. Now, that's convenience! lol
    When I was about ten years old, I read about a man finding a wallet with money inside in a bag of Lay's potato chips.

    Maybe they were trying to get the cracker jack buyers-a prize in every bag, beats the little stickers right
