Help yourself doesn't mean grab 10 bags... and you probably shouldn't be eating them anyway...

Fellow commuters tell me that Old Dutch has a table set up in the lower level of Union, by the Bay St entrance, with small bags of chips laid out (Sour Cream and Onion flavour, according to Twitter folk).

People are being told to help themselves. Our good friend of the blog, Shirker, saw at least three people "help themselves" to about 10 bags each.

But why grab free bags at Union Station when you can also get them for free on the train?!

MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR GARBAGE WHERE IT BELONGS, DONKEYS!

    Looks like a few people saw it was Ketchup flavour they grabbed and bailed.

    They were like a pack of rabid honey badgers - I didn't dare approach the table.

    And i bet most of them were suits. After all, why should you pay for bags of crisps when you only earn 90 grand a year plus bonus?

    I took the early train home, so I was at Union at around 3:10 so the table wasn't too crazed. However, if I had taken my usual train I would have avoided it at all costs.

    I had the Sweet & Sour. It was 'meh'.

    Sour cream and onion for transit users? Someone was asleep at the table during the marketing session...

    For the record, Dill Pickle is the best Old Dutch flavour. They are the best DP chips period!

    I highly recommend the President's Choice stampede BBQ, baby back ribs and peppercorn steak chips, they are, well, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

    And what's with people when it comes to free stuff. The way I see some woman make a beeline (knocking over the elderly and small children) to get to a sample size of Pantene is just crazy.

    If it's free, regardless what it is, certain GO train patrons become rabid seagulls

    Yeah McDaver, those would be the same seagulls that avoid donating change to help give kids a meal, too. Sad!
