It can sometimes feel as though every new day brings a new health food, but what if there was one that could satisfy all our chip cravings while still giving us all the health benefits? Things could be about to get real.

Working Together

Zach Schreier and Nick Hamburger were just two college students when they decided to drop out of school and focus on their next adventure: Quevos. The pair were eating egg white from the edge of a pan when they realized this could be the perfect alternative to potato chips. They were delicious yet didn’t come with the drawbacks of other chips on the market. It wasn’t long before they had a brand new business venture on their hands.

Mixing Them Up

There have been many chip alternatives over the years that usually claim to be the next best thing. So what about if you took all of the delicious aspects and blended them together to make a whole new creation instead? Quevos are made up from pea protein, avocado oil, and chia seeds among other ingredients to make sure they are as healthy as possible while still having a delicious taste.

Health Benefits

Thankfully, these egg white chips also come with a ton of health benefits. They’re packed full of protein as each serving offers up 15 grams of the good stuff as well as 9 grams of fiber. That’s not all. Quevos only have 120 calories per bag and are made up of 2 – 3 grams of carbs. As if that wasn’t enough already, the egg white chips are both gluten and dairy-free meaning they are suitable for all kinds of diets.

Plenty Of Flavor

While the egg white chips are still in their early days, there are already three flavors on the market: Sweet BBQ, Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper, and Quevos Rancheros (great play on words!). It looks as though there could soon be something for everyone. The chips are currently only available on their website, but there are many ordering options that include a mixed flavor bag or options to try one stand-alone flavor instead.

Eating healthier doesn’t always mean that we have to miss out on our favorite things. In fact, these egg white chips could be all we’ve been looking for to up our protein intake and cut back on the carbs.

When it comes to texting, parents just can’t seem to get the hang of it. When moms and dads try to text, the outcome is usually hilarious…

It’s every mom’s dream to get her kids to talk to her, whether it’s a lunch date, phone call, or at the very least a text. Unless, that is, she can’t figure out how to text back. But it might be a better idea NOT to teach her how to use the space bar, because once she gets the hang of this thing, she’s gonna demand that you text her all the time.

This poor mom must have been so confused when she somehow managed to open Google each day, only to find a new Google image waiting there for her. And like only a mom can, she believed since her son had taught her how to turn the phone on, that he must also be behind the scenes changing the logo every day. He’s probably a great kid, but sorry Mom, he’s no match for the power of Google.

As children, it’s always strange to look at your parents and see them doing things that just seem to make no sense to you. How can anything be right when the people that raised you, fed you, and taught you how to survive in this world are so wrong? Next time, Mom, it might make more sense to just find your glasses first, and text back later, so no one has to wonder if something is seriously wrong.

For a lot of us, getting creative with keyboard characters comes naturally – those colons are clearly eyes, and that parantheses is obviously a smile. For a lot of moms though, it’s just impossible. This mom, on the other hand, knows her way around the keyboard – and that 8 was just obviously a bowtie! She has an idea in her mind of how her precious son should behave, and the emoji to make her message loud and clear. He might just need to get on her level.

It’s easy to take a mother’s love for granted, and we’ve all done it at some point. They sing, mess with your hair, call you nicknames, and crack jokes in public that make you wonder if you’re the same species. As long as you love them, they don’t care if you laugh – but test their limits, and all that hard work they unconditionally do for you manifests into one grand slam joke that leaves them with the last laugh.

Grandmas are such a special breed of human – they’ve lived long lives, overcome many obstacles, and earned the right to say pretty much whatever they want. They usually have a way of making us look more forward to reaching old age ourselves. Even when they’re critical or smacking you on the head, you know that they love you. They just might not ever be able to tell you that in a text message – and that’s okay. 7 is good too.

Mom isn’t the only one with a sense of humor. Today, “dad jokes” are notoriously corny, but when they do nail a joke it’s usually one for the books. We can all hear the chuckle of a dad who knows he bested his kid with modern technology. And you can never know for sure whether they’re joking or serious, so…best to stay on Dad’s good side.

Technically, texting is designed to make communication easier and more efficient. But texts like these prove that with parents, texting only makes everything more complicated. Nothing like a parent assuming you’re being purposefully unhelpful before realizing that they were just a pinch of patience away from the answers they were hoping for.  The sad truth is, once moms learn the lingo and jump on the bandwagon to use it, it simply won’t be cool anymore.

For better and worse, moms are like closet psychologists. They always, always, always know what’s really going on in that head of yours. It’s the best thing when you’re in desperate need of a therapist (but just can’t afford one) to have your mom there reading your mind and letting you talk until you lose your voice…but the worst thing when they go reverse psychology on you and back you into a corner. Case in point:

When things go wrong, it’s never easy to look in the mirror and ask yourself if you, in fact, might be at the root of the problem. But it seems like Mom’s extra quick to blame her phone for anything that seems amiss – and let’s face it, she’s quick to blame you too. Nothing says that your texts aren’t working quite like a working text, but explaining why she’s wrong might not go over so well…

No doubt fathers have the best of intentions, but really – who is this going to help? This is what earns people the nickname of Captain Obvious. Either this dad just forgot how phones work for a second, or believed that his text had a way of spiritually transcending the phone and reaching his kid. But in this day and age, it’s actually quite surprising how lost we all are without our phones for 5 minutes…

In a text message, an innocent question can be misconstrued any number of ways, and everyone should be careful. But when it comes to hypothetically discussing emergencies – maybe just don’t. If you must, context can go a long way to make sure that someone who cares about you won’t worry that there’s an actual emergency, and completely panic. If moms can ever master the power of Google, texting will be a lot more safe…because Google doesn’t have any feelings.

Teenagers and hate to do pretty much anything they’re supposed to do. Which is really fun for their moms. Every now and then, they’ve had just about enough of their kids doing everything they want and nothing their moms want. But at the end of the day, every kid wants money, and every mom wants to make sure that they have enough of it – just as long as they’ve done their chores first.

Sometimes Mom just can’t deal with phones doing what they do – in this case, buzzing with each message. Granted, it is an annoying noise that we all deal with, with varying degrees of grace – and mothers fall to the very bottom of that hierarchy when they’re in the middle of exercising. It’s hard enough to get on the treadmill without worrying that every buzz is an emergency!  But unfortunately, the whole world can’t stop turning til she gets off.

When you’re just trying to be nice and keep the conversation going, and your dad immediately makes you regret it. But also kind of makes you laugh. But you’re not really sure if it’s because it was funny or just because he’s your dad and he’s ridiculous and you love him. You have to admit, he comes up with these absurd quips pretty fast for an old man. But either way, you’re probably not gonna repeat his joke at the next party.

Sometimes your parents have such a difficult time doing even the smallest thing on their phone that you start to wonder if they’re cursed – which is what they’ve been insisting this whole time. If it isn’t a camera taking this picture, what does she think it is? And if it is a camera, wouldn’t it make sense to look for the lens and try to keep your fingers far away from it? Maybe that just makes too much sense.

Moms are supposed to know everything, so if she uses a word you don’t recognize, your first assumption will probably be that she’s sharing her genius with you and you need to get on her level. But if that word comes in a text message, it’s probably best to assume the exact opposite – she most likely just couldn’t properly type the word, didn’t check it before sending the message, and walked away thinking that she said something brilliant as usual.

What happens when you put a tiny piece of technology into the hands of a middle-aged man who has never had a cellphone? That’s right – he sends the same text message more than once. He doesn’t even know that he’s making a mistake. We got the impression that his son tried to call him on multiple occasions, and this was his go-to response. However, this time, he didn’t answer his son simply because he couldn’t be bothered to talk.

There are some things we write in a text that are easily open to interpretation. This is a fine example. Although the person who texted it was frustrated that their mother didn’t understand exactly what he meant by “coming out,” it is a mistake that others could make. With that said though, he did reiterate what he actually meant and yet she still didn’t get what he meant! You should just call her from now on.

Sometimes, autocorrect is a really big problem – especially true for parents. In fact, it might actually be better if they just aren’t allowed to use it. What was once helpful has evolved to have quite a mind of its own, working outside the control of even the most tech-savvy. Older generations are doomed.

It’s never nice to feel like your sibling is stealing your thunder, especially when it involves one of your parents. But this is what happened to this poor soul. It would have helped if Dad had asked his son the following instead: “Which phone do you think your sister would like most? Samsung S3 or iphone 5?” If only he had worded his message a bit more carefully, maybe this exchange would never have ended up in this article.

They don’t call it Happy Thanksgiving for nothing. It’s a time to be joyful, smile with the ones you love. However, if you don’t have the chance to spend it with your family, at least you can send them a text message. If only they knew how to make emojis. Hey, it’s the thought that counts. She made it clear that she wants to make an emoji and we’re sure her child can imagine the huge smile on her face as she sent it.

It’s funny that so many people in this world don’t really understand the significance of a hashtag. Basically, they are used on social media to link online users to the post in question, attaching it to the trend in question. So when you start putting hashtags in a text message, it kind of defeats the purpose of them. Moreover, if you don’t know how to create an actual hashtag, writing the word “hashtag” makes things even less “cool.”

As previously mentioned, abbreviations can create all sorts of confusion amongst parents and children via texting. Take this mother, for example, who simply had no idea what the term “WTF” stands for. We’re not going to spell it out for you. Put it this way though – she was wrong about what it stands for. Surely it would have been easier to text something like “Wed, Thurs or Fri.” Anyone could understand what that means. She probably thinks AT&T stands for “all the time.”

The internet can be a dark, scary, and frankly quite massive place. It’s easy to get lost in it, although at this point, some websites should be more obvious than others. Texts like this make you wonder if there’s anyone out there that gets paid to give technology-challenged adults a tour of the internet. But then again, you might not want your mom on Twitter for personal reasons, so…be careful what you teach her. At least knows that Twitter is the farthest thing from private.

Let’s face it, some parents and children treat each other more like best buddies. They have such a deep understanding of each other that they are able to call each other names in a joking kind of way. You know, how best friends try to get a rise out of each other. That’s exactly what this mother is doing with her son. She doesn’t actually think of him that way, she just thinks it’s funny that he’s more boring than she is.

Don’t know about you, but for many people out there, the closest feeling they know to the feeling of eating ice cream is love. Maybe that’s why this mom found the symbol for love easy to confuse with ice cream. Evidently, she’s a two scoops kind of woman, so if she’s offering ice cream it’s a great idea to say yes! Everybody can use a little more love and ice cream in their lives.

They say even a broken clock is right twice a day. Somehow, this mom caught onto the “yolo” trend, as moms so often do, without first checking its meaning. It just rolls off the tongue so easily, you know? But the philosophy of only living once runs deep enough to affect even those who don’t know it, and this mom found herself living the “yolo” lifestyle without even trying.

The “yolo” trend is an interesting one, having popularized a few words to mean one thing that could easily be interpreted to mean something else. “You only live once,” they say, and so you should live that life to the fullest. Take risks! Be bold! But…if you only have one life, shouldn’t you also protect that one life? Maybe don’t take certain risks? This mom is here to make sure her kid doesn’t “yolo” his one life away.

There’s something wrong all right, but maybe it’s not with the phone. Fixing this problem will no doubt require one skill moms just don’t seem to have: typing with more than one finger. No doubt her kid is aware that he can’t send the quick fix through a text message, because if she could understand it, this wouldn’t have happened in the first place. How did this happen anyway? It’s time for Andy to go straight to the source and investigate.

It’s also every kid’s dream to get their moms texting more so that they can call less. Until they open the emoji keyboard, and then, well, things get confusing. They say art is in the eye of the beholder. But unlike art, emojis usually have more specific meanings, and unlike art, text messages are supposed to have a purpose. So when you send emojis, they should make at least some sense. Unless this is what’s for dinner, it’s time to tone these emojis down.

Bedtimes are every kid’s nightmare, but having a kid can mean that parents have a bedtime, too. Especially once kids are old enough to verbally guilt trip a parent for their absence. But that doesn’t mean they have the right to give their parents a bedtime…

Pepper spray can be a handy tool, but trusting a kid with it is likely hard to do. It’s time to just act like an adult – and adults don’t need bedtimes!

Most kids will wonder at some point in their lives what they don’t know about their parents. Well, in most cases, the answer is a LOT. There are just some things it’s not appropriate to tell a kid, and that you don’t want to have been caught lying about later! Having another kid that no one knows about probably tops that list – but this dad was just making the kind of joke that only another parent can appreciate. You’ll get there, son.

Having just adopted a puppy from a shelter close to home, the Clark family needed to learn to adjust to their new situation. From training the dog to go outside to not barking at cats, it’s safe to say this family was learning a whole lot about the life they needed to adapt to.

One thing that particularly had them all wound up was the fact their dog seemed obsessed with marking his territory all over the house, which quickly became a common joke often brought up.

Adjusting to a new phone is not an easy task for anyone, let alone the less tech-savvy individuals (which are often babyboomers and older folk). Jessica thought she was relatively patient when it came to teaching her parents common texting rules, but when her mom splurged on a new iPhone she simply didn’t know how to use, she just about had enough.

Still, being the considerate daughter she is, she decided to take a deep breath and joke about her parent’s incomprehensible attempts at instant messaging.

At some point, we all have to go through that excruciatingly embarrassing moment of having to teach our parents about emojis and their hidden meanings.

While this one is quite self-explanatory, it seems this mom still refused to comprehend the meaning of using the brown, oddly-shaped, smiling face – something she probably should have done considering the topic discussed. However, we certainly can’t blame her, as moms have the tendency to find absolutely anything adorable…

Always dreaming of becoming a rockstar, this dad had other plans before he became a father. While life didn’t entirely turn out the way he expected it to, that doesn’t mean he can’t have fun poking around his kids and making the most of his current situation…

Although his timing with jokes could be better, we love how he still manages to stay young at heart and teaches his kids not to take anything too seriously – be it a headache or worse.

Although it is considered to be 0ld-fashioned to push one’s offsprings into marriage, the concept of finding love for your children seems as timeless as love itself. After all, who doesn’t want their kids to be happy? Sure, sometimes it takes more than a little push in the right direction to make something like that happen, but when it does…

This mom’s idea of a push in the right direction consisted of making fun of her daughter for still not having found “the one”. We just hope her daughter found this text as funny as we did…

For everything that moms are good at remembering, like birthdays, appointments, and our favorite foods, there are some things Mom also might frequently forget – like her keys when they’re already in her hand or…her kid who she absent-mindedly brought with her to Walmart, and then absent-mindedly drove off without. She’s too busy remembering everything about the kid to remember the kid himself! But you know she’ll pull that illegal U-Turn without looking first in order to pick him up quickly.

When all the chicks are ready to leave their nest, the momma bird simply has to stand by and watch her babies spread their wings and fly. As their mother, she has a basic instinct – a force of nature, even – to protect her young ones.

But in this dog eat dog world, it’s also important to learn when to let things go and teach one’s children how to get by in this adult world. That doesn’t stop the lonely feelings creeping in, however…

Quite the contrary from what most moms are like, this particular mother had just about enough of being there for her kids’ every single need. “They need to learn how to make it on their own,” she often thought to herself, which is when she decided to cut them off entirely.

She started out by not being as easily reachable as she used to be via phone. Later, she also gave them a piece of her mind – in a light, humoristic way, of course.

Maya has been dating her long-time boyfriend, Joey, for over 3 years. The two had moved in together only a year earlier, so Maya didn’t think marriage was something on Joey’s mind.

Blinded by being clueless, Maya went along with her schedule just as she did any other day – that is, until she received this text message from her mom. Needless to say, her mom definitely needed to triple check who she was sending her message to before hitting that send button…

People can be scared of many different things, and phobias are not a joking matter. Some people have even had a heart attack when faced with their worst nightmare!

Sharon doesn’t have a phobia of moths, but she is also not their biggest fan, to say the least. Something about those winged creatures has her squirming in her seat uncomfortably. When she texted her dad and asked for help, she never would’ve guessed this is how he would come to her assistance…

Mommy dearest hadn’t quite figured out how to send messages. Better yet, the concept of instant messaging altogether escaped her. She would send one message after the next, waiting for her beloved son to respond, only to be disappointed time after time.

Confused, she sent her son a message asking if her texts are getting through. Unable to connect the dots, her didn’t think this sarcastic message meant as anything other than his tech-challenged mom struggling again… Something he would soon live to regret.
