Dave: Remember those WOW chips? It’s like Wow, I just shit my pants.
Me: What?
Dave: Those chips that had the warning label “May cause anal leakage.” I remember kids whispering about it in school. You were probably old enough to know better and not eat them.
Me: Um, I was probably old enough??? Thanks a lot. {For the record, I am only 3.5 years older than Dave.}
Dave: Well you were probably in high school.
Me: Well you were probably just an idiot.
So, fess up… were you old enough to know better and not eat the Wow Chips?

YES! and my friend ate them and had terrible diarrhea!
I do remember those chips, but this reminds me of that weight loss thing called Ally that was some kind of a fat blocker. It had a similar problem and they would call it an Ally-oops.
Gosh that simultaneously disgusted and intrigued me. All these tv talk show hosts kept talking about it, and I just felt like HOW ARE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS ON TV LIKE IT'S NOT DISGUSTING.
ROFL! Yes I was old enough to know better. Way better.
omg I tried them, because it was back when I was still obsessed with trying to be thin! I was intrigued with the fact that they tasted like real chips. However, when I'd eat them I was really paranoid about only having a few to make sure I would not get sick, and quickly decided that having to feel paranoid about anal leakage was not worth guilt free chip eating. Now, I'm just a chubby chic who enjoys eating whatever damn kind of chips I want!
thanks for the memories :-)
I was obsessed with them. And, while they're not called WOW chips anymore, they're on the market again. They just say Light - made with Olestra. I actually just took a picture because my friends and I were talking about them and then I saw them (labor day weekend) at the store and took a picture. ~Tara
Old enough and didn't even try them. With that warning? No thanks!
I am younger than both of you and I laughed my ass off at this post! My girlfriend totally had a "WOW" moment.
OLESTRA!!!
Ewww anal leakage. I remember all that hub bub about them. Do you remember the movie The Sweetest Thing? There is a scene where a character is eating them by the handful, reads the anal leakage warning and spits them out into the bag. Think of it everytime I hear the term OLESTRA.
Actually I did eat the WOW chips and nothing ever happend to me... but I'm weird and have major issues
