The snack company announced the winner of its “Do Us A Flavor” contest on Tuesday. The contest asked fans to submit their “$1 million potato chip flavor idea.” Fans voted on which of the three final flavors — sold at grocery stores nationwide — should win.

The winner of the contest was Bacon Grilled Cheese, securing its spot as Lay’s newest chip flavor.

“Submitted by Paula George from Sapulpa, Okla., this winning flavor is a savory, nostalgic ode combining two of everyone’s favorites – bacon & grilled cheese!” the snack brand stated on its website. George is the lucky winner of the $1 million prize.

Maybe it's just me but I find they never taste as good as you think they will

Their biscuits and gravy winning flavor from a few years ago should have been made a permanent flavor. :(

No especially nowadays!!

I think these new flavor taste contests are more of publicity gimmick than brining new flavored chips to the market. They seem to hold these type of contest every year, and as soon as publicity dies, they pull the winning flavor off the market.

No especially nowadays!!

Especially since U.S banned artificial Trans Fat (partially hydrogenated oils) in fry and fast foods back in 2018. Fat=Flavor :)

I actually like this flavor, but I haven't gotten it in a good while.

The next time they have one of these contests ~~~ try one of these:


A great and unique potato chip flavor could be "Spicy Mango Salsa." This flavor combines the sweetness of mango with a spicy kick, offering a refreshing and zesty taste.

Another interesting option could be "Truffle Parmesan," which adds a rich, earthy flavor profile that pairs well with the crunch of the chips.

For something adventurous, consider "Buffalo Ranch," which combines the tangy heat of buffalo sauce with the creamy flavor of ranch dressing.

Any one of these flavors can provide a delicious twist to the classic potato chip experience! :)


Your Welcome!!! :) :) :) :wave:
