A short film about chips getting what they deserve.

What it goes on

Most things, honestly. A few places to start:

Chips. Obviously.
Shake the bottle, pour, and eat them before they go soggy.
Chicken that needed a bit of help.
Toss thighs or drumsticks through it before they hit the barbecue, then brush on a little more at the end. Medium
Eggs, any style.
A few dots over fried or scrambled eggs. Mild, if it's early. Mild
The burger you'll keep talking about.
Stir a spoonful into mayo for the bun, or go straight onto the patty.
Roast potatoes, crunchy bits especially.
Toss them through just before serving, while they're still crisp. Medium

Next The Hot one's paperwork

The Hot one comes with paperwork.

Coded bottles of Hot hide a QR code under the gold seal. Peel it back, scan it with your phone, sign the waiver with your finger, and your town gets a point in Town Wars.

It's a novelty: not a legal liability waiver, and it doesn't affect your consumer rights. It is very official-looking.

Sample code. It opens the practice waiver.

New Zealand's bravest town?

Every town reckons it's pretty tough. Town Wars counts who actually bought the Hot one: one signed bottle, one point for the town of your choice.
