Rick Koster offers weekly lists of ideas, notions and things that must be seen to be believed.

Deep in the secret laboratories at Frito-Lay, wizards and necromancers and starry-eyed dreamers come up with visionary flavors for potato chips - and the jury is out whether they're serious or just playing elaborate hoaxes to see how we, the gullible and e'er-ravenous public, will react.

If you haven't actually been in the snack aisle at the supermarket lately, the Lays folks have introduced four new flavors to their line of designer chips. Let's see how prescient you are as a marketing person. From the following list, which are the actual four new Lays flavors?

1. Cappuccino

2. Baked Mutton

3. Cheddar Bacon Mac & Cheese

4. Hornet Repellent

5. Caramel-Coconut

6. Wasabi Ginger

7. Quail Breast with Dates and Diced Pecans

8. Mango Salsa

The correct answers are 1, 3, 6 and 8 - though I have to say I'd at least try a chip that tasted like insect spray. Who wouldn't?!
