This question has been eating my brain: Why do you keep on buying Mystery Crisps (potato chips) when there is a reasonable chance they’ll do GBH to your tastebuds??? Is the flavour pay-off worth it? Does, in fact, the ultimate Platonic ideal of the crisp exist? (Should I try this Crisp Quest at home?)

Oh, well, what's life without a little spin of the roulette wheel? Where else can you get an adventure and a fun story to entertain the internet with for $2?

It's not really confined to chips/crisps -- that's just a subset of my larger "Let's try this strange food" mandate -- but in the US, weirdly-flavored chips are still kind of a novelty, like we just don't get the variety of flavors you see in other countries a lot of the time. And of course people send me weird chips from other countries and I LOVE that, because Americans are kind of sad and unimaginative when it comes to chips -- we tend to just go for "spicier", which is kind of pathetic, and I'm never gonna get like, Lamington Cake crisps in the US.

Anyway, if they had called themselves "super duper strong flavored bbq chips" I would have passed, but they went with "SUPER STRONG CHIPS! THEY HAVE...A FLAVOR!" and I needed to know what the flavor was!

Also, you guys know the shoe Lil Nas X put out, the Satanic one with the drop of blood in it? The company that made the shoe is called MSCHF, and they're an art collective which does a lot of weird novelty "drops", limited edition items that go up for sale at random times. I have the MSCHF app, so I know when new drops happen, and while most of them I'm not interested in, a recent drop was "illegally flavored" chips -- chips with flavors of foods that are banned in the US. So I have Casu Marzu maggot cheese chips, horse meat chips, and Fugu chips waiting to be opened and taste tested.

I was an extremely unadveturous eater for the first 25 years or so of my life, and in some ways I still am (I'm not into organ meat, I wouldn't eat an ortolan because I don't want to eat anything's digestive tract, I can't bring myself to eat whole bugs) but it's just not that much money -- or wasted food, if I don't like it -- to buy a bag of chips :D

Pirates of the galaxies

Anakin Skywalker was never found on Tatooine by the Jedi.  

Years later, a new spacepirate appears to ravage the galaxy. He is a powerful rouge Force user, and this worries the Jedi Order, who fear he may be a new Sith.

When Senator Padmé Amidala former Queen of Naboo is kidnapped during a diplomatic mission, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi is sent to rescue her. He is the best qualified for the task, as it was him and his former Master Qui-Gon Jinn who, almost ten years earlier, revealed and put an end to the Sith Master Darth Sidious, along whit his apprentice Darth Maul.

What he is not prepared for is meeting Anakin Skywalker, infamous pirate captain of the proud ship Shmi’s Revenge. He is dangerous, ruthless, stubborn, handsome and charming, and also able to break through all of Obi-Wan's defences, igniting a desire in him, he had never imagined possible.

And when it turns out that Padmé has not been kidnapped, but voluntarily joined Anakin in his hunt for an ancient and powerful Jedi treasure, rumoured to be hidden on a mysterious planet, well how could Obi-Wan resist the offer to join to them one their adventure.

An idea inspired by @disast3rtransp0rt, whose fault it is that pirate Anakin has been living in my brain all day, where I was supposed to work...
