What's your Holy Chip?

Recently, a lady from Palmett, Florida was on a flight back home from NYC when, while eating a bag of chips, a "strange sensation overwhelmed" her as she came across a chip she believed resembled the Virgin Mary.

How many of us have that lucky pair of shoes or jeans?

Are we giving meaning to the meaningless, or discovering the meaningful?


Many of you may remember seeing the outtakes from Napoleon Dynamite where Pedro also came across a "holy chip". (script below)

Where have you been?

I got sick.

How come?

Two days ago, [flash back to party]
I went to my cousin's birthday party.
And they had all this food.
So I started to eat this taco with lots of meat.
It was like a carne asada taco.
And all of the sudden, I started to feel real evil inside.
Kinda sad, ya know?
So the next day, I just like laid in the bathtub for a couple of hours.
And then, I had to go to the hospital because my aunt Concha was having
a baby.
We had to wait a real long time, in the lobby, so I bought a little bag
of corn tortillas from the vending machine.
And right when I started eating them, I felt really good inside.
The evil feeling I was having just like lifted out of me.
It's like, evaporated into nothing.

So I don't know. I think they was like holy chips or something.

BYUH alumna, who goes under the name, “Girl in Bathtub Number one” notes seeing her holy chip as early as high school. “I remembered several days in a row seeing the most beautiful sunsets/sunrises. Upon seeing them I was taken aback with emotion and felt very filled with my Savior's love for me. I determined right then and there that every time a sunset or sunrise caught my eye, it was my Father in Heaven telling me how much he loves me.”


Dustin Geddes says music is his holy chip, “sometimes words will pop into my head or come on the radio and it's almost as if it's read my mind.” Geddes tells the following narrative, “This summer I grew a beard and I was thinking about how it would affect my love life. Then I heard this song that talks about growing a beard. The lyrics were, ‘I know you love a man whose follicles are growing just for you” Geddes was encouraged by this “sign” but unfortunately said that his whiskers never brought him the love he had been waiting all summer for.

Shem Greenwood said, “I burnt a pancake one time and I thought I could see the future. Sometimes when I’m trying to figure things out, I try to stare at it. Greenwood references this picture:
