I can't tell you what flavours they have here now because I rarely even
look at the stock in that section of the grocery store, but I do
remember their having been BBQ, salt and vinegar, sour cream and dill.
A few decades ago there were trying all sorts of weird flavours, like
orange, cherry and grape. They sounded too disgusting to even try.
