The all-new Lay's gyro pita chip flavor takes inspiration from Greece as one of the top four finalists in the chip brand's 2015 Do Us a Flavor contest. This chip is a flavor entered by a contestant that is meant to replicate the savory elements of the popular sandwich wrap in a tantalizing chip seasoning.
The Lay's Greektown Gyro potato chips are severed on kettle cooked chips added a roasted flavoring that complements the meaty flavors of the seasoning. Gyros wraps often include roasted slices of beef or lamb topped with tzatziki and veggies. The chips are covered in a speckled seasoning complete with a mix of herbs, tangy notes and meat-infused flavor elements to replicate the wrap's true taste. If the Lay's Greektown Gyro flavor receives enough votes, it'll remain a part of the brand's permanent collection.
