Caffeinated Potato Chips, Um No Thanks

I, unlike my co-workers (you know who you are), do not need to visit Starbucks to function in the morning…. thank goodness as I have enough vices to deal with.  But for those of you who love your caffeine happiness but just can’t be bothered with another caffeinated drink, how…
