7 Startlingly Strange Lay’s Potato Chip Flavors

Chips. Crisps. Yummy, fattening goodness. Whatever you call them, Lay’s potato chips, around since 1932, have been a salty treat enjoyed for quite some time.

In that period, Lay’s has tried on a multitude of colorful hats in the form of user-generated flavors in the “Do Us A Flavor” contest and from the creative minds that lie within the PepsiCo headquarters. These flavors have both delighted and disgusted the public. But more than that, some of these out-of-the-box flavors leave us wondering, “What possibly could be next?”

Here are seven of the strangest Lay’s flavors from around the globe:

1. Lasagna

Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay get to lay claim to this intriguing flavor creation. I guess there’s nothing like a bag of Lasagna potato chips to remind your of your mother’s home cooking.

2. Cappuccino

The common white girl like myself now has no reason to fear. My love of Starbucks can now be recreated in chip form. Hmmm…I wonder if Starbucks would consider a line of coffee chips?

But in all seriousness, a line must be drawn between what is acceptable American cuisine and what is simply too much.

3. Bacon Poutine

What is more Canadian than poutine flavored potato chips? Poutine is actually surprisingly delicious. However, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cringe at the thought of this dish reimagined in the form of greasy chips.

4. Crab

Russia is the lucky country that gets to lay claim to this culinary masterpiece. Who allowed this into existence? An entire team of people had to sit down and approve of crab-flavored potato chips. Think about that for a moment.

5. Fried Green Tomato

Something about fried green tomatoes and chips seems to be incompatible, but don’t tell Lay’s that!

6. Marmite

I can’t say that I have ever personally had marmite, but simply the thought of this flavor sold in the United Kingdom earns it a place on this list.

7. Mint Mischief

I really don’t know how to feel about this one. There is simply something about a potato that doesn’t make me feel like mint would be a good combination to throw into the mix.

Lay’s are not a go-to for nutritious sustenance, but it would be a complete lie if you said that they didn’t offer their consumers a plethora of options. In fact, consumers have so much say that multiple flavors currently in grocery stores are the product of a Lay’s-eating dreamer.

What crazy concoction will make it to our stores next? Based on past and current Lay’s flavors, it is safe to say that the craziest of ideas never even made it past the meeting room walls of those tasked with creating the next guilty pleasure snack food flavor.

The question now lies in your hands. If you could create any flavor of potato chip that you wanted, what would it be?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
