Editor’s Pick
Lay’s
Lay’s, the world’s #1 potato chip brand, opened a world of flavors to Malaysians with the recent launch of three limited-edition variants, featuring the sweet, spicy and zesty flavors iconic to Korea, America and Mexico. Lay’s Spicy draws inspiration from Korea’s bold and fiery flavors, Lay’s Chili Lime celebrates the rich taste of Mexico, and Lay’s Tomato Ketchup embodies America’s love for this classic condiment.
Lay’s Spicy delivers a unique experience, inspired by a taste of Korean spice. Its deep, fiery savoriness adds a funky and unusual dimension to your snacking moments. Get transported to the vibrant streets of Korea with just one flavorful bite! Lay’s Spicy also offers a spicy twist of texture – instead of the usual Lay’s crunch as its chips, Lay’s Spicy comes in a ridged texture filled with that spicy flavor.
Meanwhile, Lay’s Tomato Ketchup combines the tangy, sweet, sour, and salty taste of ketchup, making it a great companion for savory foods. Every bite of this flavorful chip will take you to a classic American diner or backyard barbecue, giving you the taste of satisfaction like dipping your snack in ketchup!
For a burst of zesty freshness, Lay’s Chili Lime captures the colorful and vibrant flavors of Tex-Mex cuisine. The distinct zing, mild heat, and mouthwatering acidity takes you to a lively fiesta on a hot summer’s day. Snack your day’s stresses away with each bite of your favorite chip!
In conjunction with the launch of #LaysSpicyKorea, #LaysKetchupAmerica and #LaysChiliLimeMexico, Lay’s is taking Malaysians on an experiential journey around the world right here at Lay’s Flavor Around the World – Hall of Flavor event at APW, Bangsar from now to 20th August 2023. The new Lay’s Spicy, Lay’s Tomato Ketchup and Lay’s Chili Lime are now available at all retail stores for a limited time only.
