Let me clarify things a little.
In Australia if you say "Hot Chips" you mean "French Fries"
If you just say "Chips" then you mean potatoe chips or as
the pommies say "Crisps"
As for the colour standards there are
Dark Blue for plain chips or "Salted"
Orange for "BBQ"
Pink for "Salt and Vinegar"
Green for "Chicken"
Yellow for "Cheese and Onion"
Of course Pringles are the only chips that
do not conform to the standard.
You might all have bizarre flavours but do you
have "The Full Monty" flavoured chips......we do.
