However, whoever bought them out has changed the oil they use (0% trans fat formula corn oil) and they taste so different (the corn taste is very strong), my husband told me not to buy the plain chips any more. I don't care for them any more, either. The barbeque flavor is OK, since the spices mask the corn oil taste. But, sadly, the regular and rippled chips are not the same.

I retracted my statement about Jack and the Krofft girls by having a "crossout" line over that part of my original post. That statement had already been challenged here in the comments section by Jill and Nancy. If I had merely erased that portion, then Jill and Nancy's comments would no longer make sense. Yes, I made an incorrect assumption about Jack, but please note that I did say "teen" in reference to the daughters, so you can't accuse me of saying anything about "little girls" in any way. Did you read the comments section before you commented? Like Jill, you are also offended that I compare Don Knotts to Jack Wild. Perhaps you feel I was judging Jack's talents, but that was not my point. I was referring to their career paths. Don and Jack were both TV stars in the 60's, both extremely talented and they died within a week of one another. So I'm sorry my comments from last March hit you the wrong way, Catherine, but I swear I like Jack Wild too! That's why I felt compelled to blog an article about his passing, lamenting the reasons why we didn't get more from him while he was around. Hi Catherine,

My comment about Jack Wild's stay at Marty Krofft's was based on an interview I saw where Jack made a fleeting comment about "those were the days!" at the Krofft household. He didn't specify anything, but it certainly seemed like something suggestive. Of course if the Krofft girls were children at the time, then I certainly came to the wrong conclusion! Perhaps Marty Krofft's Playboy Playmate wife introduced Jack and his brother to her co-workers? I don't consider any of this to be "drama," just the normal activities of a teenage boy. I thought the interview in question might have been the one at the end of the Rhino H.R. Pufnstuf VHS box set. I was going to quote it exactly for you until I realized I sold those tapes on eBay after I got the DVD box set! So having no evidence, I have altered the post. Thanks for your challenge. I watched the Jack Wild interview on the DVD set and it is different than the one in the VHS version. I'm glad I looked at it again though, as it reminded me what a neat guy he was! As for criticizing his smoking, I was merely stating fact. I don't judge people for smoking. Jack criticized his own smoking, as he blamed it in part for his bad health. I didn't "compare" Jack Wild with Don Knotts talent-wise, I was merely pointing out that Knotts had a very slow rise to fame while Jack experienced a rapid rise (and fall). If he had been prepared for some lean years (as happens to most entertainers), he could have avoided his problems and no doubt would have gone on to greater success. Yes, Jack was a good entertainer and I don't doubt he was a good guy. Welcome, members of “Simply Friends: Jack Wild Forum,” thanks for your interest in my post!
