From AP:

Pepsi
PepsiCo confirmed that it’s ending some of its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, even as rival Coca-Cola voiced support for its own inclusion efforts.

In a memo sent to employees, PepsiCo CEO Ramon Laguarta said the company will no longer set goals for minority representation in its managerial roles or supplier base. The company will also align its sponsorships to events and groups that promote business growth, he said.

Cheddar Sour Cream is also probably my fave actual 'flavored' ones, though, like you. Jalapeno flavored can be damn tasty too, at least the way some brands make 'em.

But my own are the best

My workspace in Berlin hosted a British Army element doing the same thing we were. In Britain tea is a food group so the chaplain at RAF Gatow sent a van to the hill every day to sell little sandwiches made on brotchen, tea by the gallon, chips and sweets. That's where I found out about salt and vinegar chips.

Usually people are chips or sweets and I rarely eat chips being into sweets but when I do I love the tangy flavor of the vinegar.

(But I'm so thankful for the sense of taste that did return.)

Savory flavors especially are different. But the sour cream and onion chips at Whole Foods taste almost the same as the chips I had when I was young.
