From what I recall the actual name on the bag was BBQ. The bag was orange with black letters. These were the best BBQ chips I have ever had. When they first came out with the KFC/masterpiece chips they had both at the same time. However, after about 4 months they stoped producing the BBQ chips in the orange bag and just made the masterpiece ones that were in the black bag. Since then they have produced various other flavors but to me nothing has even come close to the original BBQ chips they had in the orange bag. I would love for them to bring those back. In many ways this is like what happend when coke decided to change the formula and produced new coke. There was such a negative reaction to the new coke (which the marketing dept wanted) they brought back what is now called classic coke. However, when they did this the formula was not and has never been the same. I am sure if Lays tried to bring back the wonderful BBQ chips we loved in the orange bag in the 70's and 80's the formula would not be the same.
If anyone has a picture of the old bag please put it on the internet. I have searched and can not find even a picture or information on the BBQ chips Lays made back then.
