Regional Potato Chip Flavors

Lay's China New Range of Chips Boasts Unique Localized Flavors

— November 26, 2020 — Lifestyle
Lay’s China's newest potato chip range is available in a series of unique and localized flavors. These unexpected flavors are the result of collaborations with local brands as well as regional traditions, and include "salted duck egg and roast pork zongzi from Wu Fang Zhai, marinated duck neck from Zhou Hei Ya, Beijing duck and a chip featuring a White Rabbit candy flavor."

These localized chip flavors include a mix of both savory and sweet options and speak to a growing consumer demand for bite-sized and more accessible versions of more elevated dining options. While Lay's China's duck-flavored chip varieties transform the elegant dinner staple into a more casual snack ingredient, its White Rabbit candy chips are sure to spark the curiosity of extreme foodies seeking novelty.
