How eating potato chips can take you around the globe

The idea of being in charge of choosing Canada’s favourite flavours of traveling-inspired potato chips is simply beautiful.

There we are, sitting on our couches stuffing crunchy goodness into our mouths, as we close our eyes and imagine ourselves in an exotic place. Getting to vote for our favourites seems too good to be true, but rest assured, it’s not.

Canadians had the opportunity to choose 12 delicious potato chip flavours inspired from around the world to come to Canada. The voting process was tense but packed with dedication as Canadians had their say in the heated, tasty debate. The hard work finally paid off – for a limited time, the Lay’s Cheese & Onion, Lay’s Bacon Poutine and Lay’s Thai Sweet Chili potato chips are available in our passionately hungry homeland.

If there’s one thing that Canadians have a knack for, it’s traveling – so much so that we enjoy our cultural mosaic of different cultures, predominantly for their own special foods. All these unique Lay’s options give us the opportunity to take an ultimate flavour vacation. We feel like we’re traveling to an exotic place, bringing home with us a country’s special treats.

The Lay’s World Favourite chips are available everywhere that Lay’s products are sold. We’ve decided to feature a few so you remember to grab them before it’s too late.

United Kingdom – Lay’s Cheese & Onion

Bite down on these and instantly travel across the pond. These chips are inspired by timeless ingredients used in British cooking. They’re a combination of delicious sharp cheddar cheese with savoury onion flavours.

Canada – Lay’s Bacon Poutine

Bacon poutine flavour/Lay’s

Get a taste of our own French Canadian heritage right here in Canada. Styled after one of our favourite foods, these taste like a mouth-watering combination of gooey cheese curds, rich gravy, and smoky bacon flavours. Given our love for poutine, it’s not much of a surprise that this flavour received the most votes amongst all the Lay’s world flavour options.

Thailand – Thai Sweet Chilli

Thai Sweet Chili/Lay’s

These taste just like the iconic dipping sauce from Thailand. They’re the perfect mix of sweet and spicy with aromatic chilli pepper flavours. Munch on these and taste the perfect sweet heat combination in one bite.
