Kate Krader ( @kkrader on Twitter ) is Food & Wine's restaurant editor. When she tells us where to find our culinary heart's desire, we listen up. Who do you think set a world record for most new Facebook fans in 24 hours? No, not Charlie Sheen back when he was winning. And not The Avengers movie either, though that’s a good guess.   In fact it was a potato chip. Last April, Frito-Lay’s Facebook page got over 1.5 million new “likes” in one day. That’s a lot of instantaneous fans. And maybe it’s not such a mind-blowing number if you look at the mind-blowing new flavors capturing the attention of chip fans worldwide. Recently, the New York Daily News highlighted Russia’s affection for Red Caviar potato chips (it’s especially popular in Moscow, where they love their caviar). Here are some other snack food flavors that you probably never would have dreamed of. You just have to guess what country is chowing down on them. Hint: If you’re lazy and want to answer “Japan” for all questions, you’ll be right a lot of the time. Scroll down to the bottom for the answers. A. Pepsi: This country offers a suspiciously anti-freeze-colored flavor called Ice Cucumber. Additionally, you’ll find Azuki Bean, Shiso and Pepsi White (yogurt flavored). 1. Japan 2. Taiwan 3.

China E.  Pizza Hut Pizza: Home of the Hot Dog–Stuffed Crust pizza; it’s drizzled with mustard. 1. Belgium 2. Germany 3. United Kingdom F. Doritos: The list of outrageous Dorito flavors is long here – Coconut Curry, Tuna Mayo (“gourmet,” according to the bag), Sausage, Steak, Yuzu and Crispy Salmon. 1. China 2. Japan 3. South Korea G. Doritos II: Roasted Turkey chips are popular here. 1. Germany 2. United Kingdom 3. Taiwan H. Kit Kats: This country is home to such flavors as White Chocolate Espresso, Salt & Caramel, Green Tea, Caramelized Sweet Potato, Blueberry Cheesecake and Blood Orange. 1. Italy 2. Japan 3. Sweden I.
