I heard those new chips were a real gas!
Some of us like our Tex-Mex food REALLY hot!
O, the hot sauce is a tad too hot.
I used to teach my Scout Troop to use corn chips as fire starters.... burns with the nicest blue flame.
Lucky it was not a refried bean factory as well............
Sounds ie a Tesla
Hot salsa?
Tesla, for its part, denies this notion, stating that its vehicles are far less likely to catch fire than their gas-powered counterparts. This claim is backed by statistics from the National Fire Protection Association, which stated that there were roughly 173,000 reported vehicle fires in the United States in 2016, the most recent year for which figures are available, according to Statista.com. Practically all of these incidents are from gas-powered cars, which translates to one ICE vehicle catching fire every 2-3 minutes, or 55 fires per 1 billion miles driven.
According to Tesla, the best comparison between its electric cars is the number of fires reported per 1 billion miles driven. There are currently 300,000 Teslas on the road today, and they have driven 7.5 billion miles. So far, about 40 fires have been reported, translating to 5 fires for every 1 billion miles traveled.
AFD says the factory was trying out a new blend of chips that "didn't work out so well."

My scoutmaster taught us to tear a beer can in half and pour in some white gas lantern fuel.
Teslas are powered by tortilla chips?
They need to cut back on the spice.
Could be very interesting if already eaten and in the Tum!
Them's fight'n words here in Texas!
Sounds like insurance companies would have them banned anyway as if somebody eats them and passes gas, they could burn down houses and start forest fires.

Rebelbase, that is only because your scoutmaster didn't want you to waste the 151 proof liquor.
And if you didn't have a lighter or matches, he taught you to remove the bullet from a cartridge, dumped the powder and strike the primer in base of the round to get the fire started
Obviously, after leaving his military service, your scoutmaster used his GI Bill to attend Purdue University and participate in their annual research project using liquid oxygen to start a charcoal grill and get the coals white hot in record time.
