remember the phrase '...all that and a bag of chips'?
those were the days. such attitude in one jam-packed sentence. i think my older brother did the best rendition of '...all that and a bag of chips'. he delivered it with just the right amount of sass. sometimes, if we were lucky he'd add a wagging index finger and maybe finish the whole thing off with, 'oh no you di-int.'
just in case you were out of the country when people had trouble saying anything else, here's the definition from urbandictionary.com: To mean that a person is all that and more. Usually it is an opinion and the only one who thinks it is that person. Other people usually don't believe the person is "all that and a bag of chips." (posted by IceWarm in 2004)
well, if you're like me, you may be wondering where '...all that and a bag of chips' has been as of late. heck, you may already be putting in your own efforts to raise it from its dormancy (did you honestly think it was dead?). if so, i have a link for you to visit. if enough of us get into it, we might spark the flame and bring this jewel of slang back into circulation.

reminds me of the time I decided that I was gonna bring back the high-five.
I'm still working on this one.
and that's the best thing since sliced bread... no really... it is... that is, it's all that and a bag of chips, but really it's just the best thing since they started slicing bread.
By the way, I used to always think that they meant Wonder Bread when they talked about things being "the best" since sliced bread. But I have to say... I'm sure there have been a lot of better things since Wonder Bread, including other bread. But you knew that already.
hey, cheese. how might i more fully incorporate this phrase into my conversation repertoire?
jackie... simply muster up the 'tude and whenever there's a silence in the conversation, insert 'all that and a bag of chips.' people might be confused at first but don't worry. a few of us need to take responsibility to get things rollin'.
