This is, rather obviously, a display for Calbee Hot & Spicy chips. These are tasty chips, but I wasn't really interested in buying them because I've had them before. They're actually pretty cheap here, but I don't eat so many potato chips and prefer to try something a little more exotic. Since I dismissed these rather rapidly when pondering purchases, I didn't notice something that my husband saw. He said, "did you look at the sign?" It was only then that I noticed that strange English errors don't occur only in Japan, but also in Japanese markets in parts of the country with a lot of Hispanic people.
