Man Gives up Sour Cream and Onion Chips for Lent, Admits he hates them

BABBLERS PRESS - Every year one local man faithfully gives up the same thing for the 40 days of lent - Sour Cream and Onion Chips.

But sources close to the man, namely his wife and kids, are now saying that the man in question is not as "spiritual" as he appears. "He gives up those chips because he doesn't like them anyway," said his wife. "It would be like me giving up chocolate covered ants." 

The man's son also confirmed his mother's assessment. "It's true, I've never seen my Dad eat Sour Cream and Onion Chips so obviously he doesn't like them. He still eats Chicken and Waffle flavoured ones because those are his favourite." 

The man himself admitted that he despises the chips he abstains from but said at least he gives up something, unlike other "irreligious people" who don't even bother to give up anything. "Which is more spiritual?" the man asked. "To give up something you hate or to give up nothing at all? I think the answer is obvious." 

Meanwhile, the man is also participating in a new diet plan which allows him to eat anything except food he doesn't like. He's only been on the plan for two weeks but already he's gained about 15 pounds.
