International Chip Flavors

Lay's is Celebrating the Olympics with Exotic New Chip Flavors

With the Olympics just around the corner, Lay's has released four new international chip flavors that are inspired by global cuisine. Ranging from ultra-spicy to rich and creamy, the new chip flavors give consumers the perfect snack to munch on during the Olympic games.

Starting on July 25th, customers will be able to purchase any of Lay's four new international chip flavors. The exotic flavors draw inspiration from some of the most popular dishes and flavors from Brazil, China, India and Greece. While the Greek chips have a creamy Tzatziki-inspired flavor, the Chinese Szechuan Chicken chips are coated with tongue-tingling spices. On the other hand, both the Brazilian and Indian flavors use unique spice blends for a deliciously savory taste.
