10 Lay’s Chip Challenge Flavors You Wish Existed

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Rochester chapter.

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.

Where mad props for getting punny with potatoes meet the Americanization of Chinese cuisine at its best.

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.
