They are the latest products in the brand’s “flip” series, which comes with yogurt and toppings. The sriracha-mango combo is low-fat mango yogurt with “sriracha-coated rice crisps, mini sesame sticks, and roasted and salted cashew pieces,” while the chipotle-pineapple one includes low-fat pineapple yogurt with chipotle-flavored granola, “smoked almonds, and pumpkin seeds.” > [](https://twitter.com/Chobani/status/676827484382437380) The sriracha kind is the latest novelty in the culture of unusual, sriracha-flavored food items, from [Pringles](http://time.com/12362/sriracha-pringles-are-here/) to [hummus](http://time.com/3760033/huy-fong-sriracha-hummus-potato-chips/) to [candy canes](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/11/07/swap-out-regular-candy-canes-with-these-sriracha-ones-to-ruin-christmas/). [Some](http://www.buzzfeed.com/venessawong/as-greek-yogurt-growth-slows-chobani-turns-to-sriracha#.nx0b3LZRX) even see the new flavors as a way to spice up the market amid slowing Greek yogurt sales, as the [_Wall Street Journal_ reported](http://www.wsj.com/articles/at-chobani-rocky-road-from-startup-status-1431909152) in May 2015 that “Chobani’s share of Greek yogurt sales in the U.S. is down nearly 15 percentage points to 44% from its peak in January 2012.” A Chobani spokesperson says the company’s market share trend of Greek yogurt “continues to grow,” as well as sales, which, in terms of dollar sales, have “grown” 11% year-over-year and were up 18% in November. ### Photos: An Inside Look at a Sriracha Factory  Jalapeno peppers, grown in nearby Ventura County, are crushed inside the Huy Fong Foods factory in Irwindale, Calif.
