Sell flavor additives for the wood chips in containers that look like Minwax stain cans. Smokehouse BBQ flavored chips is no.9

Just dip Pringles in Bourbon.

Fine Bourbon, Aged for 10 years in a Pringles Can.

Look for a Canadian snack called Hickory Sticks.
Alternatively toss some crackers in a light coating of oil, and put them in a smoker.

He should probably lay off the paint chips too.

Why would anyone eat paint chips? They don't even taste like wood.

Why?

Wait for the variety pack where they coat them with frosting and they market them as paint chips.

Or potato flavoured wood chips, making it the perfect diet food.

You know, I might actually buy into this

Lays already has mesquite chips and they're always coming out with new flavors based on customer suggestions. I'm going to put in a request for cedar flavor and pine (for the holidays, of course).

For real....
If I saw this in a store, I'd be like "this is so stupid it might actually be good" and put it in the cart

Well I think cedar and pine are good for smelling and should stay as smells, not food flavorants. They smell great though

Gin tastes like pine and people drink it. We should at least give it a try with chips. We can be gustatory pioneers!
Zapper42@reddit
It smells of juniper, not quite 'pine'
But looks to have been done already with pine liqueur

So many conifers taste similar to me. Clearly there is a need for more sampling to improve the palate.
Zapper42@reddit
Hemlock sounds yummy...
SciAlexander@reddit
It's called smoked chips
Houndsthehorse@reddit
Thats just hickory sticks
Prestigious-Safe-950@reddit
Smoke them after they're fried
hoorayitsjeremy@reddit (OP)
Brilliant! It turns out smoked potatoes are already a thing and you can choose from many types of wood, each with their own flavor. I think smoking might be the easiest way to make this happen.
Prestigious-Safe-950@reddit
Exactly! I think it could be a good way to give the kid what he wants lol
McPorkums@reddit
Ahhh you're looking for In 'n Out french fry flavor
hoorayitsjeremy@reddit (OP)
A basket of oversized toothpicks? That's a good backup option.
McPorkums@reddit
My god I'm using this in battle against my socal besties who worked there 🤣
jontaffarsghost@reddit
What about potato flavoured woodchips? Is that anything?
hoorayitsjeremy@reddit (OP)
I like the way you think! We should put out a Crazy Ideas Cookbook.
Puffification@reddit
I'd try them
