Caffeinated Chips?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Although they won’t say exactly how much caffeine is in a handful of their potato chips they say the amount of caffeine in a 3 1/2 ounce bag of Phoenix Fury chips is equivalent to drinking 3 1/2 big cups of brewed coffee. Distributed in southern states by Birmingham’s Golden Flake Snack Foods, they are aimed at the convenience store market where energy drinks are already flying off the shelves. So far the only flavor is BBQ, but more flavors are planned. They do come with a caution on the label: not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, young children or anyone who is sensitive to caffeine. So what do you think of a jolt in your snack chips?
