Lays reprises BLT Flavour

The Salty Snack giant is bringing back its popular BLT Flavoured Chips. Lays has created a reputation for itself as being one of the most prolific purveyors of new, creative Chip flavours over the past couple of years, after having dipped their toes more cautiously in those waters since early in the past decade. But the BLT has stood the test opf time. It first appeard in 2012 and returned briefly in 2017. Now it’s back again, for a limited time, at all the usual sources.

Kettle Brand Chips adds Parmesan Garlic

Kettle Chips are thicker than normal Potato Chips and absorb less Oil in cooking, creating a more Potatoy flavour. And being thicker, they’re also better suited to dipping. Add a tub of Garlic Ranch and you’ve got the perfect starter for the CFA Chicken Parmesan Meal, above!

And that’s the skinny…

… On what’s going to be making some of us fatter and some prom-less Grads happier over the coming days and weeks. See you back here in 7 for another edition of Fast Food Week!
