1 – Everyone Say Good Good Eat
I recall that contrary to the advertising on the left-hand bag of snacks, these were not so “good good eat.” In which city did I buy them?
A. Singapore
B. Hong Kong
C. Taipei
2 – Just Add Butter!
If fresh lobster tastes great, wouldn’t a lobster flavoured potato chip be spectacular? We thought dipping them in butter would help, although we couldn’t bring ourselves to try that. We’re watching our figures. So, where did we get them?
A. Halifax
B. Vancouver
C. Boston
3 – Mmmmm … Haggis
This is a trick question because the bag states they’re from Scotland. We’ve never been to Scotland, so this will be a crap shoot of a guess. Pick another country.
A. Greenland
B. Faroe Islands
C. Iceland
4 – Rap These Chips Up, We’ll Take Them To Go
Yup, these were cheezy. Where did we get them?
A. Monett

C. Germany
6 – Maybe with some milk?
These tasted like North American corn pop cereal with a whole lot less sugar.
A. Lebanon
B. Turkey
C. Georgia
7 – What the heck is a Clamato?
This country makes one of its most popular cocktails with Clamato juice, which, as you’ve probably guessed is a blending of tomato and clam juice. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. Does it translate to a chip? Not bad.
A. United States
B. Australia
C. Canada

Chips were not easy to find in this country, but we were determined and we succeeded!
