Lay's crisps (potato chips to us)
-
Saw an article about a Lithuanian grocery store in Union Pier, MI that gets forest mushroom potato chips in stock once a year. People drive for miles to pick up a bag or two.
I went in search of more info, and found this site about potato chip flavors from around the world....https://museumofcrisps.com/2020/08/01/37-flavours-of-lays-crisps/

I am not sure why they haven’t listed Ketchup chips, which are one of my favourites! They are a Canadian staple! The blog post they reference has them!

Never heard of Ketchup chips. Checked them out and it seems they really are a Canadian thing...

I knew something wasn’t right with our southern neighbours when I found out they didn’t have ketchup chips.

My personal favorite potato chip flavor is the BBQ chips from Snyder's of Berlin (PA). The "of Berlin" differentiates them from Snyder's of Hanover, another PA food producer.
I wonder if Lay's or someone like them has a potato chip museum where you can actually taste some of this multitude of flavors.
I'm reminded of the Coca-Cola museum in Atlanta, Georgia where, at the end of the tour, they have a large room full of dispensers where you can sample flavors they sell in various countries around the world.

About 40 years ago one Ohio manufacturer put out grilled steak and onion chips. Far and away the best snack I ever ate and I have never been able to find them again.

Yep! And your article talks about Hostess chips which people STILL talk about. There is even a retro clothing company that has made shirts with the Hostess Munchies on them. Their Salt and Vinegar chips were by far the saltiest and vinegariest of all the brands. Lays just isn’t the same - but I’m glad they kept the Ketchup flavour!
