I found that very interesting and from the description above 
I think I saw the exact same chips this past summer. The 
difference is that these were 3discovered in Greece. We were
in the supermarket and while roaming the aisles when I was
assaulted by bags of 3-D chips! I took a doubletake and rubbed
my eyes to see if I dreaming and of course I wasn't. Thinking
that maybe they were offering some lenticular or something I
was dissappointed to learn it only refered to the 3 dimensional
attributed of the corn chips. :-( Now that was gimmicky!

P.S. I am surprised George hasn't commented on them! ;-)

The packaging of course was all in Greek. To see it, point your
