"Testing for Rage State"
Take my upvote and my joy.
Did… did I just watch a man get killed by Potato Chips?
Regardless, take my upvote, you wonderful man, and welcome to the canon!
At least they weren't Flavor Twist Honey Barbeque Fritos.
Those are the best potato chips I've ever tasted. Shut yo mouf.
Can you imagine how ungodly painful that would be, though?
… Also, they're made of corn. Not potato.
Kol the Refined, High King of the Round Receptacle People, chuckled to himself magnanimously as the monkey woman raised him and used him to cover her head.
One might have expected a high king would take offence to such an act, but Kol had long ago surpassed such childish notions. When a bowl becomes one with the cosmos, it could hardly be supposed that he should mind such trivialities. Some of the experiments have in fact been quite enjoyable, such as when another monkey woman filled him with nachos, the Round Receptacle chosen ambrosia. He had no idea why the monkey people took such a sudden interest in him, and he didn't much care. His people has been used in one way or another by the monkeys for many centuries, never realizing they were the ones being used. While the monkeys toiled to fill them, the Children of the Great Bowl had all the time in the world to debate philosophy and delve into the very nature of the divine. It was good.
Oh, radiation now, how droll. Heat, cold, sound, electricity, how pedestrian. A duck in a hat, what on earth were thinking? Silly monkeys, silly monke-
Rustle.
Oh no…
Rustle, rustle.
No…they wouldn't…!
Rustle, rustle, snap.
CHIPS!
The Snack of the Betrayer! The Spud of Evil! They dared! They presumed to put such filth inside the high king! Insolence!
As the vile crunch filled Kol's head, he struck back in vengeance.
I will pay you to put this in the next Saturn Deer column.

I'mma kickstart that shit.
No no.

That'll teach those Containment Breach punks what we're really about: being incredibly serious.

Let's just say, this fits perfectly into what I had in mind about day-to-day Foundation operation when I wrote Lab Orientation. And it's hillarious to boot. Take your +1 with a double dose of feline praise.
Really funny, but unless I'm misreading it, it doesn't specify what E-00043's primary anomalous property was (, unless it was that it was slightly luminescent.).
That's kinda what they were trying to find out, what with all the experiments and all.
Obviously the primary effect was being delicious!
Like Judge Fudge, only cheesier/salsa-ier
I do wonder what would happen if they used it as a receptacle for other kinds of dip, like ranch dressing or guacamole or melted chocolate fondue.

It goes triple memetic

Probably that. Or something.
if your reading this your gay
On the one hand, this is amusing. On the other hand, I can't abide the notion that the Foundation would overlook basic teleological checks- the effect is so frequently tied to an object's intended purpose that such an oversight is hard to believe.
Also, for the record, credit to Vincent Redgrave for the title. I was gonna call it "Testing May Continue" but he had a much better idea. Thanks a lot.

I still haven't decided if the title is an intentional pun or not.
