jadakiss13 8,265 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 It's just chips though... Tell that to the 36,000+ upvotes. Lol How are they gonna eat all of this? They gave some to Soyou (since she posted it on twitter) and i guess they shared with the rest of Starship artists and staff. Eating too much of something makes you fed up with it after a while.

Cheese in the Trap 648 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 As a food addict i really want to try those chips to see whether it worth the hype or not. Anyway, i just ate some Cappuccino flavored Lay's, it tastes a bit weird but deliciously nonetheless, i recommended those who lives in the U.S to try it.

Cheese in the Trap 648 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 ^ I'm a big coffee fan so i guess that's why i find it delicious I'm sure they'll come to the U.S soon, and hopefully they keep it the way it was instead of trying to change its flavor.
