Barbecue flavored potato chips are kind of a weird idea in the first
place. Why would it have ever occurred to anyone to put powdered
barbecue sauce on a potato chip? Truth be told, the taste really has
nothing to do with the taste of barbecue. It's just salt and sugar
mixed until neither one stands out and combined with some vaguely
tomato-ish, reddish brown powdered stuff and thrown on hot fried
slices of potato. I don't know what it is, but it's really not
barbecue, or even barbecue related by any honest definition.
