Clear space in your pantry…because Lay’s has done it again! The chipmaker is widely known for its unique flavors that resemble other foods, like Chicken and Waffles, Flamin’ Hot Dill Pickle, Cappuccino and Everything Bagel.
This time around, the brand created a Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup flavor. That’s right! They magically developed a chip that tastes like the ultimate cheesy, crusty comfort food. And we had the chance to try a bag.
What Do Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Chips Even Taste Like?
The grilled cheese and tomato soup chips have the iconic crunch of iconic Lay’s potato chips. As far as the bold flavor, they taste just like the all-American sandwich and soup combo. According to Lay’s, the bold new chips deliver “tomato taste and buttery cheese with underlying creamy and toasted notes…all in one bite.”
That description actually turns out to be pretty accurate. You get a punch of tomato soup flavor right away, and then it fades into a cheesy and toasty flavor. Not bad! But if you’re craving the real thing, we’re confident that we’ve nailed down the best ever grilled cheese and tomato soup recipes.
Psst: If you know us well, you know we’re definitely not shy about expressing our love for potato chips. See how we ranked 9 popular Lay’s flavors.
Where Can You Find the Chips?
The new Lay’s chips will hit grocery store shelves nationwide on Monday, October 21 for a limited time. The price for a regular-size bag will be around $3.49.
By the way, October 21 also marks the beginning of the “Gotta Have Lay’s” campaign, during which you could win free Lay’s for a year. All you have to do is head to GottaHaveLays.com and submit a photo of yourself with a freshly designed Lay’s bag. (They revamped their packaging recently.)
