I think a country's potato chips say a lot about the country, don't you?

I'm sure that I've told you this story but I have to tell it again seeing the Lays photo. One of my friends once hosted a group of us at his family's vacation house in Malaga where they asked that we respect their Muslim dietary rules when buying groceries and bringing food into the house. Although it was difficult in a country like Spain, we were very good about enjoying our pork products outside of the house. Then, one of our more American friends felt the craving for chips so he bought an exciting bag of "Jam On!" Doritos and didn't realize until he passed them around to us that it was Ham Doritos.
Ohmigod, that is so funny! Jam on!
