I was bored earlier and playing on eBay, so I did a search for Lays Potato Chips, just off the top of my head...
Lays Potato Chips (Canada Style) (http://cgi.ebay.com/CANADIAN-LAYS-KETCHUP-POTATO-CHIPS_W0QQitemZ4433579657QQcategoryZ43401QQrdZ1QQc mdZViewItem)
Well, I can say I have never seen these in the states... Just thought it was somewhat interesting... And this seller is VERY VERY happy to be Canadian

Wow, and so far I have already found 4 different "one of a kind" heart shaped potato chip auctions, one auction with a chip that resembles Mr. Burns, and one with a cross burned into the middle of it... I thought this phase had passed

It actually doesn't really taste like ketchup. Sort of a dusty/tamato type taste.
Same goes for Dill Pickle chips.

I used to work for Frito Lay and I know those ketchup flavored chips are good sellers up north. Frito Lay has a basic line of chips that are available everywhere, but then they also have a few flavors for certain geographic areas that are more of a niche item. Strange as they may seem, but they do sell. :)

How's this guy even making a profit. Around my city, one bag goes for about $2-3. So for all the trouble of buying and shipping the bags he's only making a couple of bucks LOL Oh and ketchup chips aren't that bad :-P

I don't think anybody in the right mind would go buy a bag of chips and throw it up on ebay. I'm quite sure he'd buy them in bulk, if not wholesale. Even in bulk, they end up being like 50 cents a bag, I'd imagine wholesale's even cheaper.

My wifes uncle has a friend that supposedly makes a killing by selling boxes of little debbie cakes on eBay to people overseas. I have never searched for them on eBay before, but apparently the Japanese/Chinese are big fans of the swiss cake rolls

Whoa... I didn't know that Ketchup chips weren't in the United States... that's really odd.
They are very good every once in awhile, but I definitly can't see myself eating them everytime I feel like chips.
Then again, I can't eat chips alot, cause they just don't taste as good. They are better as a once in a while snack :P
What else do you Americans not have that us Canadians do have?

Up in northern US around Maryland, "crab" flavored chips are pretty big... Basically plain chips flavored with "Old Bay" seasoning... They also have salt & pepper chips up and down the east coast

"Seabrook" crisps are the best, they are made with sunflower oil and real sea salt, they taste amazing.
I would never eat Walkers/Lays again!

I'm surprised they aren't sold in the US. My favourite are Old Dutch Ketchup Chips, they are full of flavour. Lays are too bland.

I wish the ketchup flavored chips were sold in the U.S. I'd imagine they would sell pretty well!
Instead we get dill pickle flavored chips...yuck!! :puke:

The pickle chips kick ass.
When I was young and hungry, sometimes I would dip potato chips in ketchup, tastes like french fries. :-P
