Attention, snack lovers: Lay’s is about to release eight new potato chip flavors—the most the brand has ever released at one time.
Ahead of the retail store rollout, PEOPLE tried the eight new flavors to give you a heads up on how they taste.
Lay’s
Chile Con Queso(Origin: Texoma, Mountain, Southern California): Described on the package as a “legendary Tex-Mex taste of velvety cheddar queso with a dash of spice,” this flavor is the favorite among our tasters. It tastes like a drip smothered in the cheesy Mexican dip, with a spicy kick at the end. We could polish off a bag in one sitting, no problem.
Chesapeake Bay Crab Spice(Origin: Mid-Atlantic): These chips get their flavor from a custom-blend of Old Bay and other spices, most of which our tasters didn’t actually notice. Although some tasters got hints of seafood in the chips’ smell, the crab-boil flavor isn’t as prominent as we imagined it would be.
Fried Pickles with Ranch(Origin: Midwest): If you’re a pickle lover or a ranch lover, you’ll be into these chips. Lay’s harnessed all the flavors of the state fair favorite into a few bites—it tastes exactly likedillwith a hint of fried batter and ranch dressing.

Pimento Cheese(Origin: Southeast): This classicsouthern dipmade from cheddar cheese and pimentos is one of our tasters’ favorite snacks, but this chip doesn’t exactly capture that full flavor. However, we enjoyed the taste and crunch of the chips even though it wasn’t the pimento cheese kick we were hoping for— and liked the hint of cayenne pepper in the mix.
