Duane took it way, way back, bringing back the Homegirls potato chips, but makin it relevant, he points out the positive messages printed on the back of the package.

MOTHERHOOD

As we look to becoming mothers one day, we will produce good children with good manners and good minds. We are the first teachers.

WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THIS THING AROUND

MARRIAGE

We should save ourselves for marriage. Why should a man respect us if he can have us before marriage? Respect yourself and everyone will respect you. NO RING…NO THING?

WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THIS THING AROUND

THE POWER WITHIN US

The force within us is stronger than the negative forces outside of us. So our message to bad influences is… STEP OFF!

THERE IS A NEW BAG ON THE BLOCK… ITS ALL THAT..AND A BAG OF CHIPS.

Wow. No ring…no thing? Would they even PUT that on a bag of chips these days?

While any potential big-name coming to a Philadelphia team is exciting to me, I’m really not sure that adding Elton Brand to the Sixers is gonna do a whole, whole lot. The Eastern Conference is becoming quite competitive, but the Sixers are probably on the back curve of that. Up front are, of course, Boston and Detroit. Throw in Orlando and Cleveland, and that pretty much relegates the Sixers to a bottom seed in the playoffs already. Not to mention that it’s highly unlikely that Washington and Miami will be as bad as they were this year. Nah. It’s nice to add a big name to the roster, but I’m not sure that adding Elton Brand actually moves the Sixers any closer to a ring. This certainly doesn’t seem to make them automatics for the conference finals.
