Feature of the game: “Potato chips. All fresh! Money back if you don’t like them. Potato chips?”, at all moments, possible and impossible. We saw one man buy some just for the pleasure of watching the vendor give him his money back, but unfortunately in the excitement of the game he ate them all.

Chief feature: Our Band.
