The chips are made of ground corn, vegetable oil, and seasoning. The full ingredients list is [corn, vegetable oil](/source/vegetable_oil)s ([sunflower](/source/Sunflower_oil), [palmolein](/source/Palm_oil)), milk solids ([cheese powder](/source/cheese_powder)), [food acids](/source/Food_additive) ([270](/source/Lactic_acid), [330](/source/Citric_acid), [331](/source/Sodium_citrate)), [flavour](/source/Flavoring) enhancers ([621](/source/Monosodium_glutamate), [627](/source/Disodium_guanylate), [631](/source/Disodium_inosinate)), [starch](/source/starch) (wheat, maize), vegetable powders (onion, tomato, garlic), salt, sugar, herbs, spice ([cumin](/source/cumin)), flavour (natural and nature identical), [yeast extract](/source/yeast_extract), vegetable extract (soy, wheat), [antioxidant](/source/antioxidant)s ([304](/source/Ascorbyl_palmitate), [306](/source/Tocopherol)). ==Flavours== CC's have four main flavours, original, tasty cheese, Tangy Salsa and nacho cheese. From time to time, CC's release tangy BBQ flavour. They recently added a limited edition" three cheese fiesta" in 2021. ==Promotion== CC's have been marketing with the [tagline](/source/tagline) "You can't say no" since the beginning of 1980s, with the most notable campaign featuring ''[The Simpsons](/source/The_Simpsons)'' during 1998. Since Arnotts sale of Snack Foods Limited, CC's have been marketed as being 100% Australian owned and made. ===''Simpsons'' commercials=== right|thumb|250px|CC's Dare #14: Escaping a water tank In June 1998, ''[The Simpsons](/source/The_Simpsons)'' featured on a set of television commercials with each commercial involving [Homer Simpson](/source/Homer_Simpson) wanting [Bart Simpson](/source/Bart_Simpson)'s CC's, so Bart would make Homer do an outlandish stunt (a dare) to get them. Homer would never succeed because of Bart. Each commercial ended with a pun on the famous [tagline](/source/tagline) "You can't say no" with [Dan Castellaneta](/source/Dan_Castellaneta) saying "CC's, you can't say..." and then Homer would say "[D'oh!](/source/D'oh!)". These adverts were similar to the [Butterfinger](/source/Butterfinger) adverts that aired in the United States from 1988 to 2001. Even though the commercials only ran on Australian television, they have been included in the DVD release of [season 10](/source/The_Simpsons_(season_10)). {|class="wikitable" |- !Dare number !Description |- |2 |Homer must run through the Power Plant naked, but he trips on a power cord and causes a town wide blackout. |- |9 |Homer skydives from a plane and must catch the chips in freefall, but lands in a trampoline factory and bounces back up to the plane.
