Lay's took inspiration from the beloved flavors of products from Ruffles, Doritos and Smartfood to create its newest mashup potato chips. There are three limited-edition flavors to discover: Lay's All Dressed, Lay's Sweet Chili Heat! and Lay's White Cheddar, all of which are made in Canada and available across the country.
With the release of these three new potato chip flavors, the brand is asking Canadian fans to sound off on their favorite by using the #FlavourFaceoff tag on social media. Lisa Allie, Senior Marketing Director – Frito Lay Core Brands, PepsiCo Foods Canada, says "We are interested to see what Canadians think and where their loyalties lie: the original brand or Lay's new take to the fan-favorite flavors."
