"Olive Oil" Corn Chips?

They make olive oil potato chips, but I've never seen corn chips made with olive oil. Does anyone know if they exist?

Thanks,

Jon

    Are you talking about corn chips or tortilla chips?

      That was my thought.

      Aren't "corn chips" purely a creation of Frito-Lay?

        I wasn't aware of the distinction--I'm thinking of standard tortilla chips (made from corn tortilla's)

          Corn chips are Frito's. A different animal. Tortilla chips are tortilla chips. Is this a regional thing? I've heard at least a few others call tortilla chips "corn chips".

        Something close. These chips use to sing when the kalamata flavor was really pronounced, but now I find that they just hum (because less kalamatas in there). They are corn chips ... three types of olives, they taste great, but sadly cooked in sunflower and safflower oils.

          Thanks. I never liked that brand of chip cause they taste too sweet for me, but the flavor you suggest appears to be one of the few (the only?) that doesn't have added sugar.
