    Default Better Made explosion

    Nothing huge but I thought this would interest people. Workers were sent home after an explosion at the Better Made factory. The blast damaged ceiling tiles and broke some windows.

    Does this mean they'll be having a sale on "Rainbow" chips?

    As someone who eats a serving of a Better Maid product at least once a day, I am just glad no one was hurt and production will resume Monday. I'll be inspecting each chip or pretzel for pieces of glass and ceiling tile though

    It's nice to know that even in this economy, business is booming

    On a serious note, it's amazing no one was injured. I wonder if Cub heard it down the street...

    Was it a Jewish explosion? Need some new ovens or conveyors??
    Were they testing those flavor explosions/blasts??? I'll be watching for a new flavor
    Honestly good no one was hurt. And no offense to Jews by the way.

    Some people call arson for pay 'Jewish lightening'. I think he's trying to imply that Better Made blew up their own equipment to get the insurance money.

    A rumor mill has it that the explosion was from a GMO'ed popcorn gone horribly wrong.
