7 Startlingly Strange Lay’s Potato Chip Flavors
Pexel

Chips. Crisps. Yummy, fattening goodness. Whatever you call them, Lay’s potato chips, around since 1932, have been a salty treat enjoyed for quite some time.

In that period, Lay’s has tried on a multitude of colorful hats in the form of user-generated flavors in the “Do Us A Flavor” contest and from the creative minds that lie within the PepsiCo headquarters. These flavors have both delighted and disgusted the public. But more than that, some of these out-of-the-box flavors leave us wondering, “What possibly could be next?”

Here are seven of the strangest Lay’s flavors from around the globe:

1. Lasagna

Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay get to lay claim to this intriguing flavor creation. I guess there’s nothing like a bag of Lasagna potato chips to remind your of your mother’s home cooking.

2. Cappuccino

The common white girl like myself now has no reason to fear. My love of Starbucks can now be recreated in chip form. Hmmm…I wonder if Starbucks would consider a line of coffee chips?

But in all seriousness, a line must be drawn between what is acceptable American cuisine and what is simply too much.

3. Bacon Poutine

What is more Canadian than poutine flavored potato chips? Poutine is actually surprisingly delicious. However, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cringe at the thought of this dish reimagined in the form of greasy chips.

4. Crab

Russia is the lucky country that gets to lay claim to this culinary masterpiece. Who allowed this into existence? An entire team of people had to sit down and approve of crab-flavored potato chips. Think about that for a moment.

5. Fried Green Tomato

Something about fried green tomatoes and chips seems to be incompatible, but don’t tell Lay’s that!

6. Marmite

I can’t say that I have ever personally had marmite, but simply the thought of this flavor sold in the United Kingdom earns it a place on this list.

7. Mint Mischief

I really don’t know how to feel about this one. There is simply something about a potato that doesn’t make me feel like mint would be a good combination to throw into the mix.

Lay’s are not a go-to for nutritious sustenance, but it would be a complete lie if you said that they didn’t offer their consumers a plethora of options. In fact, consumers have so much say that multiple flavors currently in grocery stores are the product of a Lay’s-eating dreamer.

What crazy concoction will make it to our stores next? Based on past and current Lay’s flavors, it is safe to say that the craziest of ideas never even made it past the meeting room walls of those tasked with creating the next guilty pleasure snack food flavor.

The question now lies in your hands. If you could create any flavor of potato chip that you wanted, what would it be?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
