Are actual pie-flavoured chips now available in Oz?

This is a bit belated and I can’t believe I’m gonna de-lurk over something as inauspicious as Smiths and their strange taste-experiments, but yes, the pie-flavoured chips do exist (or they do in my obscure Canberra-esque corner at least). The ads have been strangely persistent about it - they don’t really explain why we needed pie-chips, but there you go, ;).

Two, two great snack ideas in one?

Leigh! G'day! Stay delurked! Smiths Crisps are as good a reason as any.

Actually there's one company--I think it may also be Smith's--which has been advertising ham and cheese (?) flavoured chips. In the advert a bloke walks into a milk bar and asks for "one ham and cheese", so the milk bar lady cuts a packet of chips in half a la a sandwich.

What's a milk bar?

I think the next UnAmerican thread should be named something regarding foods from around the world.

Milk chocolate, I think Jess, but I'm not sure.

You still have Milk Bars? The only one I know of is on Brighton Beach - it was a '90s a bone of contention, because The Kids want to open it as a club/bar/artspace, while The Man refused permission.

Ha, no, a milk bar is just what I guess in the US you would call a corner store. Like a lo-fi version of a convenience store.

From context, I don't think that's it. How can you walk into a milk chocolate bar and place an order?

Edit: X post and thanks Angus

Milk bars (in britain) were alcohol-free bar hangouts for kids. much like Soda counters in 50s Americana. They turn up in Clockwork Orange, too.

For some reason, I'm now thinking: "UnAmericans 2: It's a Yam Sham".

I'm inordinately fond of the yam-sham line.
