The door of the cabinet was slightly open, enough for me to look out and see all the activity in the kitchen.

A human and their kid walked in with their hands full of grocery bags, all full, bulky looking. The bags were set down on the counter.

The older human started pulling stuff out as the other ran off. Then there they were, two in the same bag, beautiful, glorious, magnificent.

A bag of poppables and a bag of sour cream and onion chips, I was a bag of Doritos. The human pulled them out and set them on the counter below the cupboard I was in. They were out of my view now, disappointing.

After three to five long hours some other human opened the cupboard I was in, they were holding the poppables in their hand. They set then down next to me, I was too stunned to say anything.

Next they put the sour cream and onion bag in front of the poppables then closed the cabinet.

The sour cream and onion bag made the first move, "Hey there handsome. " it said.

"I I I... " I said nothing

"Too shy, dear?" It said with a more seductive tone to their voice

"I'm sorry I'm just a bit stunned, I've been alone for some time now and two beauties show up. " I flirt back.

Me and the sour cream and onion were flirting with each other back and fourth as the poppables stayed silent.

Soon you could hear human foot steps coming near, they opened the cabinet and poppables pushed out sour cream and onion, as if they wanted them gone.

The human caught the bag and looked at it for a moment before gripping the top of the bag with both hands.

Oh no, was this really about to happen in front of me. No, it can't right, I had just made a friend, possibly a lover, were they going to be killed?

The human tore the bag open, leaving sour cream and onion now lifeless, this was actually happening, the human stuck their hand into the dead bag and pulled out some of the chips, also known as our guts.

I couldn't look at the sight anymore but I was forced to watch it, the human took away the bag after closing the cabinet.

Poppables finally spoke "I'm so sorry that happened.." they said in an attempt to comfort me.

"I can't believe I witnessed all of that I-" I stopped, I couldn't say anymore.

"It's okay, I understand how you feel, I saw it too, they were a really good friend of mine. " They said.

We talked for a while longer getting closer. An entire day went by since the incident.

Me and poppables really hit it off, sour cream and onions body was next to me but that wasn't important anymore, I was only focusing on poppables.

Another day passed and a human opened the cabinet, I sat there terrified as they reached their hand in.

They grabbed a hold of poppables and pulled them from the cabinet. Poppables looked at me.

"Goodbye Doritos, I hope you suffer for much longer." they said as the cabinet shut.

What? Why did poppables say that? Did I do something bad?

From then on every other chip bag I've met had died infront of me, but the humans wouldn't end my suffering, my chips were getting stale and I was past my expiration date.

The humans finally grabbed me, was it my time at last?

They carried me to a bin and threw me into the trash, it wasn't my end yet, I was just to be tossed away until something or someone popped my bag.
