Steve Wilson's story: All that and a bag of (rainbow) chips

Last night Chief Investigator Steve Wilson broke the story of another lavish Florida vacation for the Mayor and his family, and revealed that one of Detroit's richest businessmen Tony Soave's company name appeared on the hotel bill.   It is a report on serious ethical questions for the mayor, but there was a lighter moment in the story that viewers are talking about.  During an invterview, Mr. Soave, out of the blue, offered Steve a bag of Better Made Rainbow Potato Chips.   Mr. Soave then raved about how good they are.   Steve politely declined.

Now most every Detroiter has heard of Better Made, they are favorite hometown snackfood company that has been been around since 1930, but "rainbow chips" seem to be a Motor City secret.

The Investigators called over to Better Made to get to the story.   Rainbow Chips are special batches of the chips that are darker in color.   Some call them "burned chips", but they are not the ones that stay in the hot oil too long.      During Early Spring and Late fall certain conditions cause the potatoes to have extra sugar.    When that happens they run special batches where the extra sugar caramelizes, and, according to Mr. Soave, makes them extra delicious.    These special batches are only for sale in the Better Made Factory store, and only when the conditions are right to produce these chips, as  we mentioned, Spring & Fall.

Today is April 25th, and we are told they are in stock over at the Better Made factory.
