Finally, Canadians have an alternative to the traditional tortilla chip – a chip designed for thicker dips. Now available in Canada, Tostitos Rolls! tortilla chips are mini corn tortillas that are rolled into bite-sized chips which give them layers of support that can handle the weight of thicker dips.

Did you break a chip in a dip?

If you've broken a tortilla chip in a delicious, hearty dip, you're in good company: almost three-quarters (73%) of Canadians say they have broken a chip in a bowl of dip* which has seen the Recon Chip rise in popularity.

What's a Recon Chip, you ask?

A Recon Chip is a second chip used to rescue broken chip bits from dip.

But this can be a risky manoeuvre as Recon Chips have been known to break as well leaving two abandoned pieces getting soggy in the party dip – at which point, you're likely to walk away denying any accountability…!

"Chip and dip lovers can now say goodbye to failed attempts at salvaging what remains of a broken chip in their favourite thick dip," says Susan Irving, Senior Director Core Brands, PepsiCo Foods Canada. "Since 56% of Canadians find broken chips in dip off-putting you can ensure your next gathering not only leaves a good taste in everyone's mouth, but also no broken chips in your dip!"

Canadians are passionate when it comes to chips and dip (based on an online survey of 1579 Canadians completed online in August using Leger's online panel):

75% would prefer to eat a heartier chip that doesn't break in dip
70% of Canadians have sent in a Recon Chip
71% believe it is bad manners to leave broken chips in party dips
51% of Canadians would avoid a dip at a party if it had broken chips in it
