A surprise, not in a good way

On Saturday evening, I did a little shopping at the local supermarket.  I noticed potato chips so I picked up a bag which I opened when I got to the apartment.  It wasn't a large bag and I ate the whole thing, thinking from the first taste that they tasted distinctly odd.  I mentioned that to a friend on Facebook and he asked "odd how?"  I picked up the empty bag to see if I could figure that out.  Didn't take long:  they were CRAB flavored potato chips!!!!!   I won't make that mistake again.  When you think like an American in a different culture, you are bound to have surprise tastes - not all of them welcome.
