It¡¯s an idea that could only come from a truly desperate board meeting: ¡°What if we sold potato chips for people to eat at breakfast?¡± The Koikeya snack company has taken this proposition and turned it into a terrifying reality with its new banana-and-peach-flavored chips, which are marketed as breakfast snacks.

Unlike the noble banana chip, Koikeya¡¯s ¡°banana chips¡± boast a strong blast of nasty artificial banana that quickly gives way to more traditional potato flavors. The peach version is slightly better, simply because fake peach flavoring always trumps fake banana. A mikan (mandarin orange) flavor is due soon, too ¡ª brace yourself.
