Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Two new flavours surfaced and they both resemble home-roast style with classic seasoning. The first is Roast Chicken and the second is Sea Salt and Pepper.

There was a discount offer for all Frito-Lay and PepsiCo products, so I went to the supermarket and picked up every single flavour I could find. That plus a couple of cans of Pepsi. Like planning for my travel articles, I had to find a way to categorize the varieties Read more…
