And it’s not even original, they wanted customers to draw assocations between them and the famed Momofuku Ando.

PB+Ham or Turkey+Pickle+Cheddar is great as well

> Momofuku acquired “chile crunch” in 2023 from the Denver company Chile Colonial, LLC as part of a legal settlement. Chile Colonial had taken legal action against Momofuku for “trademark infringement, unfair competition”, according to court documents.
