    Lame Trivia Thread

    The idea is to answer the question, and ask a new question. Its a repeat idea with a twist. coolness.

    Q: Who was the first chip maker to produce, market, and distribute the sour cream and onion flavored potato chip?

    Everything i found says that flavors such as <insert flavor> came soon after the invention of the chip, but cannot specify who and when.

    http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_chip

    This is the info I found on the origin of the chip and chip flavoring. Tayto seems to be a big contributor. But not the inventor of sour cream and onion chips
