The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Didn't even mention the chocolate

These have been out at least a year in some markets, though apparently they're new here, and the checkout person at the supermarket didn't recognize them either: 100% Whole Grain Chips Ahoy! by Nabisco.

There was only one package on the shelf, alongside all the other Chips Ahoy! variants, and all of them were marked down forty-five cents a package, so I decided to give it a try. It's definitely different — the texture is decidedly grainier — but fairly decent overall, with a vaguely oatmeal-like mouthfeel. No way, though, am I going to try to pass these off as some sort of health food.

First I've heard of them and I'm already a fan.

Not even if they had bits of banana in 'em also?

As it happens, I have heard recently (as in "within the last couple of hours") that these were regularly stocked at one of the health-food outlets in town.

And I have no trouble finding bananas.
