Thom likes foods with strong flavors. Spicy hot foods. Salty foods. And vinegar. He has been eating salt and vinegar potato chips lately. Aaron, of course, wants whatever Thom is eating. Even I am not a big fan of vinegar chips, although I will eat them when that is all we have.
When Aaron asked for a chip recently, and received the first salt and vinegar chip he's had in awhile (I can't remember his reaction the last time he had one), we watched him expecting a negative reaction. He quickly complained that the chip was "too sour". But he wanted another one. Each small chip that he ate would make his right eye (and only his right eye) blink and he'd complain that the chip was too sour. And then request another one.
His eye no longer twitches when he eats them but he still occasionally says they are too sour. But that doesn't slow him down. He will eat as many vinegar chips as Thom will give him and ask for more even after Thom has put the bag away. I guess my son has the vinegar gene. Along with the other genes he gets from Thom's side of the family: the butter gene, the bacon gene, and the jerky gene.

The Jackson Ave. hole in the wall gang has always been proud of their bacon consuming ability - along with pickles, olives, potato chips, pretzels and occasionally rock salt from the shed.
