random weird timeline thing about The Americans

Posted by Reagen Jul 9 '14, 20:46

when Agent Truman Show brings the caviar over to test Phillip, they eat them with nacho chips - would those have been a popular food item in 1981? I would have thought that's a bit early for it to be a popular snack option, and it would just be potato chips or crackers.
