if you're craving something a little exotic..

After frequent trips to several Chinese grocery stores and a Super Walmart in Beijing, we were excited to see many of the same familiar brands of snack foods: Lay's, Cheetos, Pringles, etc. Upon closer inspection, we realized that these snacks were not quite the same as in the U.S.

Here's just a few of the crazy flavors we sampled during our feast of snacks:

Kiwi Lay's Stax

Blueberry Lay's

Orange Chips Ahoy!

Lemon Tea Flavored Lay's

Strawberry Cheetos

The crowd favorite was hands-down the Lemon Tea Lay's. They were, as the packaging promised, "cool and refreshing," literally like you were crunching on iced tea. Though bizarre, most of the wacky flavors were surprisingly tasty. Who would have thought?
