american chips are lame
This is the same label that makes the completely fabulous UK chips that come in flavors like lamb+mint, roast chicken, thai sweet curry, etc. But here in America, all we get is ranch, tarted up as if it's something interesting. Arrrgh!
(in googling for a link to the UK chips - sorry, crisps - i found this. Chippie knows where it's at, yo.)

Thank goodness for the English shop here in Basel and the Irish pub selling all the great varieties of British crisps we grew up loving like smokey bacon and pickled onion!!!
