The year is 1996. Young teen Todd is sitting in a Denny's booth with several of his associates on a late Saturday night. The buzzing on his hip alerts him to ignore his "moons over my hammy" for a few seconds as he pulls a small black box out of his pocket. As he presses the small grey button to reveal the phone number, he utters the phrase "this chick blowin' me up" in an effort to prove to his associates he is indeed a young man much admired and in demand by the ladies. He cooly exits the booth and fluidly strolls to the payphone located next to the motorized claw arcade game. He dials the number and as all young pimps do, he states into the phone's receiver "Hi mom...yeah, I'm at Denny's..."
The pager days! We didn't have cell phones like that back then. It was all about pagers and payphones when you were out in these streets trying to make it. Whether for business or romance, it was all about that pager life! So much so, that we even developed codes to use so payphones weren't always necessary. We were "texting" years before texting was even a thing.
We even had pager codes to identify who was calling if we were calling from an unrecognizable number. If you played sports, it was probably your jersey number. If you were a girl from Moreno Valley, it was probably #69. My code was #187 because when people saw it, they'd ALWAYS call me right away. ALWAYS.
Anyway, these Salsa Pringles are great! Excellent texture of a corn chip that supports the slightly tangy, salty, zesty flavors of salsa. Pringles are notorious for being inconsistent with the level of seasoning depending on which can you randomly happen to purchase. Regardless, the three cans I had were all delicious. 4.5 outta 5 on the chip mack scale!
