God I LOVE this blog! It's absolutely hilarious how many quotes are used everywhere... And I especially like THIS quote! Hope you find more like it--too funny!
Actually, I believe these are used correctly to imply that the chips are not "dirty" at all, but that the word is being used in an ironic or facetious manner.
The implication, of course, is that the chips are clean, but that something about them has caused them to be described as "dirty"- perhaps the fact that these are made skins and all.
I think it's actually-gasp! proper usage!
That said, I've been a fan for a long time. Keep up the great blog!
It's the same concept as a dirt shirt, but they put the "quotes" there to "fool" the"FDA""." I thought "everybody" k"n"ew that"!" Previously known as John
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

maybe they're dirty because they enjoy sexual innuendo?

It may be proper grammatically, but is it still proper if Dirty is the brand name?
I think the brand name is in fact not Dirty, but "Dirty".
it's fine by me. i like my food nasty.
