Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I'm now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest...

Wow! There's more like me! This is the first time I've ever revealed this to anyone but my closest friends but I figured what the hell. So glad I did!

And yes, absolutely do I have those videos. I've actually been AI upscaling them (occasionally lol, it's a lot of work) and sharing with the community just because I find them special and have a nostalgia for them. That's so crazy, because I was just wondering if I was a kook.

Well in all fairness, we might both just be kooks! What tools/processes do you use for upscaling? I have a number of highly sentimental videos I should probably do that to (As an aside, isn’t it fun how the quality we found perfectly acceptable a decade or two ago is now horrible to watch? How did I enjoy that pixelated blur!)

I use Hybrid to deniterlace and Topaz Video AI after that. Sometimes I'll do some amateur color corrections in Adobe premiere after that and if I do I use Handbrake to compress it. All you really need is Topaz Video AI though.

Yeah, it used to look completely great or at least acceptable and now difficult to watch haha
