  3. While in yosemite i had eaten chaos in a bag and instantly fell in love with the flavor. I asked the person who bought it where i could find it and she said that i could purchase it at TRADER JOES. Later that week i looked around for the product and was unable to locate it. I asked the store manager if they carried it and he said he had never even heard of the product. WHERE CAN I PURCHASE CHAOS IN A BAG???
    Thank you.
