hippo chips!

There are a buncha nasty tasting "snack foods" here in India.  I mean NASTY.  It's so hard because the people who bought it are being so generous and usually they bought the snack just for you.  So, you really can't refuse.  And India's version of hospitality is like none I have seen before.  Notice, I said "version".  Where I am from, I would feel so terrible if someone ate something I cooked even though they didn't like it.  Here, I don't even really know if that enters their mind... the fact that I might not like it.

Needless to say, I'm always excited when I find a snack food that I actually enjoy  They are few and far between or maybe I'm just not looking in the right places, but one of the really good tasting snacks is called "Hippo".  We call them "Hippo Chips".  As an added bounus, each little bag of chips has a little rhyme on the back of it about fighting hunger that is super funny. 

Here are the rhymes from the two little bags that are in the picture:
(You need to say it in a 'hippo' voice.  I think I channel the whale from the movie "Elf" when he says... "byyyeeee buuudddyyyy"--I think it helps.)

"Hello, me hippo.
Hippo make lots of Hippo delicious baked munchies for everyone.
Hippo feel bad you work, work, work and not eat on time.  Hippo like you keep Hippo munchies handy.
Look, Hippo care for you.  Hippo say, 'don't go hungry'.
Hippo think hungry people less happy.  Hungry people more fight.
Hippo believe world will be better if nobody hungry.
So, Hippo try."

"Hello, me Hippo again.
Hippo happy you join Hippo mission to fight hunger.
But now Hippo need more munchies to fight hunger.
Hippo say mouth round, stomach round, world rough. So, Hippo makes munchies also round-round.
Hippo say hunger give world hard time.  Eat Round-Round munchies and give hunger hard time.
Because what go round must come round, ho ho ho!"

Tell me you're not smiling!
