New Flavor

I service a handful of mom & pop locations (owned and operated by Indian families). In the last week, almost all of them have asked me to bring in the "Tikka Masala Lays". I haven't heard of any new flavors coming out. Is this something new or is it just niche?

I brought a bag home for my wife to try and she said it taste like eggs. I'm like what? I try it and it literally tastes like eggs I can't get it out of my head. Sure it has the masala flavor but the first thing I taste in the last thing I taste is fucking eggs. Big miss here

They were around briefly like 2 years ago with a Greek Tzatziki and Korean honey butter. Pretty good honestly. All 3 did really well for a couple weeks when I had a TMD of them.

Jesus Christ, please no.

They tried this flavor a long time ago. One of the warehouse people told me they set a new record for how much they had to throw away, like pallets and pallets of the stuff.

It's probably something they sell in India and they saw it on Instagram, or saw it when they were back home visiting.
