With Super Bowl LV set to take place on Sunday, February 7, 2021, Lay's has just announced the debut of new Game Day Chili potato chips.
One google search for Super Bowl chili will yield thousands of results, suggesting that the warm and hearty dish is a staple of the big game. So in honor of this culinary tradition, Lay's has created what it's calling 'Game Day Chili' potato chips. Just as the name suggests, the limited-edition flavor is meant to taste just like a big bowl of chili. To achieve this feat, the brand uses a seasoning mix of tomatoes, chili peppers, onion, garlic, and Tex-Mex spices with just a little kick.
The new Game Day Chili potato chips will be available as of the first week of January 2021.
