The gang was hungry and they needed to get some food, so off they went to the grocery store. The doors at the store were the kind that you step on the mat and the door automatically opens to let you in or go out. They stepped on the mat and nothing happened. Everyone just stood there wondering what they could do to get the door to open. Then Gustave caught up to them and when he crept onto the mat it was just the right amount of extra weight they needed, the doors opened right up. Everyone went inside, but Gustave was left out on the mat alone (he's a tad slow). Chico watched the "out" door until another shopper went out and he quickly ran out, scooped up Gustave, and came back in the out door before it closed. He put Gustave in Ned's backpack so he wouldn't get left behind again.
They browsed the whole store trying to decide what they could get. They had the $2 that Emilio won in Vegas so they could buy something. It was hard to choose something that everyone would like, and that they could easily transport home in the back of Fred's semi. They don't let birds in stores so Al had to wait outside, so all they could access was stuff on the bottom shelves.
They all have very different tastes ... Gustave loves licorice, Chico loves mexican food, Luigi wanted pasketti ... so they finally decided they would try something new to everyone. They got a bag of salt & vinegar chips. Emilio paid for it and they put it on the back of the truck and home they went.
They got home and looked at the bag a while, trying to figure out how to open it. Finally Ted and Ed got impatient and just jumped on it, so the bag exploded and chips spilled out. Everyone grabbed a chip and took a big bite. Nobody had ever tasted salt & vinegar chips before. They all made a face at the sour vinegar, but they loved the crunchy chips and kept on eating. mm mm good!
