Regarding the recent, rather lengthy, post on the authenticity of singed El Rancho Vegas chips, I
would add this: Probably in the 60s sometime, while living in Las Vegas, a friend invited me to his
house to show me his latest chip acquisitions. He had a half dozen or so large cardboard boxes
full of El Rancho Vegas chips all in various stages of fire damage. Some were almost untouched,
others badly burned, and some fused together. There were hundreds, perhaps thousands of them.
He told me he got them out of one of the bungalows that still stood on the property. I admit to
being a little envious as I has driven past them dozens of times. Anyway, the idea that they are
counterfeit is completely ridiculous.
