I haven't seen them those in Canada but you may recall the 3-D
chips that I stumbled upon in Greece. It seems 3-D is being
corrupted even in Greece where alot of english words orginally
derive from. Lawrence Kaufman awhile back was kind enough to
send me a package of virtual Dortitoes 3-D chips. The packaging
and chips looks pretty much different from each other but they
might be affiliated. Both are Nacho Cheese flavor Corn Chips.
Coincidence? Inquiring min3Ds wanna know!
Check out the packaging (of both kind) at,

Yikes, it seems the term 3-D, from Chuck's, John Vala's and others
posts, is being bombarded LEFT and RIGHT. What would happen to the
listserv name? Photo-3d would become what!?! I say we keep 3-D. ;-)
