I'm assuming something salty.
On the topic, while in Canada looking for snacks for for the 12-hour car ride home, I saw lots of chips labelled as being *dressed.* A glance at the ingredient list wasn't of any help. Do you know what dressed chips are?
Thanks!

A bag of spits is a bag of seasoned roasted sunflower seeds. "Spitz" is a brand, but has become slang locally to refer to sunflower seeds in general. Or the slang came before the brand, I'm not sure.

Flavors include Salted, Seasoned, Spicy, Pizza, Dill Pickle and Spitz Lite made with Sea Salt & Ginseng.
OK now for the dressed chips...

All Dressed Chips
Just like the name says, these chips are flavoured. All dressed chips have all of the flavours that are available, but on one chip.
