Here’s the million-dollar question: “What would your chip be?”
Lay’s answer: any flavor. And by that, they mean ANY flavor. Back in 2012, Karen Weber-Mendham’s cheesy garlic bread swept the Do Us a Flavor Challenge and brought the trophy home to Wisconsin. Now that the competition is kicking off again this year, I decided to chip in my 10 best thoughts.
10. Sweet Potato and Cinnamon
Snack, dinner, now dessert, too: all hail the Holy Trinity.
9. Air
That’s so meta.
8. Peanut Butter and Jelly
Who has time to make a sandwich?
7. Kung Paotato
Where mad props for getting punny with potatoes meet the Americanization of Chinese cuisine at its best.
6. Stromboli
Sure, pizza has already been done… But this is STROMBOLI. Go find the closest Italian family you can and knock on their door.
5. Cajun Deer Roast
Homesick? This flavor will send you right back where the venison on your table is freshly hunted and of the occasional roadkill variety.
4. Can’t Touch This
3. Chili Cheese Fries
Putting the state fair out of business since 2014? We shall see.
2. Bleu Cheese and Bacon
Our favorite smelly cheese and our best smelling breakfast meat may just be the perfect couple.
1. The America
We’ve made fried beer, we’ve had chips with beer, but never before have we made chips that taste like beer. Brought to you by America.
