I doubt anyone here saw the Wal-mart news in chipdog SNAK this morn, so here it is. As an aside, judging from the number of fat-asses I see buying chips at WMT, this could be obesely big!!! Poore Brothers Gains Wal-Mart Distribution for T.G.I. Friday's Brand Salted Snacks GOODYEAR, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 2002--Poore Brothers, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNAK - news) today announced that the Company has begun shipping its T.G.I. Friday's(TM) brand salted snacks to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. for distribution to over 700 Supercenter stores nationwide. Mr. Eric J. Kufel, President and CEO, commented, ``We are very pleased to report that we have recently begun to ship T.G.I.

This new product distribution was earned after two successful test markets in 2001 and reinforces our belief that T.G.I. Friday's(TM) brand salted snacks are a winning consumer proposition.''

The thing to remember is no matter how out of work or how wide their trailer or butt may be, people that shovel this crap into their pie-holes will always find a way to be in a position to have a 2 day supply of cigs, chips and beer to wash it all down with...Just like in that "Cops" show... On the flip-side, we also own the surgi/medi/etc stocks that will help them when they stroke out... But I digress.............
