Hi there! I studied in Rome last year and I miss it oh so much. One of my favorite things to eat there was the canned tuna with olive oil and this particular brand of potato chips. I've been searching all over the internet to find the brand names hoping to find a place to buy these items online or somewhere around me. The canned tuna brand had a pink or orange color with blue and yellow lettering and the potato chips were in a red bag and I remember seeing yellow lettering on it. They were the best potato chips I have ever had and I'm hoping to relive at least some of my memories from living there, so I'd appreciate any help!

The tuna may be Rio Mare. The box is sort of coral color, but the cans are blue and yellow. (The box usually has three small cans or two large ones.) I just found it on Amazon USA, but it was expensive!

I don't know what the chips might be, as I don't eat chips. Do a Google image search for "patatine". Maybe something will look familiar. I just did that, but there was more than one brand in red bags.

The potato chips may be a brand called "Leys"

They could also be Crik Crok, a popular brand here.

Lay's (not Leys) usually come in a yellow bag, although some flavors have different colors. Lay's is an American brand, anyway, although widely sold in Italy.

The tuna does sound like rio mare, and the chips like chipster.

It was definitely Rio Mare tuna which I have found in a local italian grocery store. Sadly, I can't seem to find the crik crok chips anywhere though, not even online
