More Crazy Japanese Flavors

I am totally a sucker for new "limited time only" or "seasonal" flavors for snacks in Japan. I always have to try them and, since nobody does it better or more often than Pringles, I end up eating way too many snack stacks.
Recently, it seems they (Pringles) have been obsessed with tying flavora to famous US locales. For example, the "Las Vegas Spareribs" flavor:

O.K...I don't know if Vegas is really famous for ribs--"Stale-Booze Hooker Breath and Bitter, Bitter Tears" flavor sounds more fitting to me-- but I suppose you can eat ribs at some of the many fine buffet establishments, so I'll give this one a pass.

But then there's "Grand Canyon French Fries" flavor:

Wow...the traditional food of Grand Canyon Cowboys. It doesn't really make much sense, but they are basically ketchup flavored and are actually really tasty.

Finally, if you want something to wash down all those salty chips, look no further than the new, "Chocolate Sparkling:"

Finally! There is now a chocolate flavored sparkling water! It tastes like someone infused each H2O molecule with Hershey's syrup and it is delicious!
