Lay's 'Turn-Up the Flavor': Music inspired Potato Chip Flavors

Pop, Hip Hop, Rock: the popular music genres that have inspired fashion, culture and once-in-a-lifetime moments that transcend generations are now the inspiration for Lay's latest potato chip flavors.

Lay's – one of the marquee brands from PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division – is known for delivering exciting flavor experiences to fans in unexpected ways and today the brand is announcing a flavor-meets-music experience like never before.

Lay's "Turn Up the Flavor" program is releasing three delicious limited-time flavors inspired by three beloved music genres – Pop, Hip Hop and Rock.

Each flavor will exclusively unlock a new song from one of the most musically-diverse artists in the music industry, Bebe Rexha.

Katie Ceclan, senior director of marketing, Lay's:

“Like flavor, music has the power to elicit strong emotions such as joy, passion and nostalgia.”

“Those emotions can be heightened even further when you pair the right flavor and music together – and that's exactly what we sought to do with the 'Turn Up the Flavor' program.”

“As a brand that loves to delight our fans, we are excited to bring them two things they love – the uniquely delicious flavors of Lay's and the incredible sound of Bebe Rexha.”

“Our limited-time flavors paired with exclusive, new songs from Bebe each create a customized sensorial experience for our fans to taste, listen and enjoy.”

A Flavor for Every Music Fan

Why Music? The sensorial experience of each "Turn Up the Flavor" chip flavor aims to give fans the same sensorial experience of listening to each genre of music:

• The tangy and vibrant flavors of Lay's Wavy Electric Lime and Sea Salt are energetic and upbeat like the fun-filled melodies and lyrics of Pop Music that you can't help but keep on repeat.


• There's no arguing that if Hip Hop was a flavor, it would be Flamin' Hot! The harmony of distinct beats and spicy lyrics create the same alluring experience as uniting two fiercely loved flavors – Lay's Flamin' Hot and Dill Pickle.
  
  Bringing two powerhouses together to create perfect harmony, rapper and songwriter Saweetie drops a guest verse in Bebe's Hip Hop remix that takes the heat to the next level.


• Lay's Kettle Cooked Classic Beer Cheese is a bold, exciting flavor that matches the incredible feeling you get listening to Rock Music as the lead singer's vocals lead into the first riff of the power chords and you anxiously await the band to take it to the next level.

Bringing the Music To Life for Fans

Lay's knows flavor and Bebe Rexha knows music. Fresh off her Best New Artist GRAMMY® Award-nomination, being named Variety's 2018 Songwriter of the Year and receiving The Music Business Association's Breakthrough Artist Award, the chart-topping singer/songwriter with hits across a wide range of genres, Bebe is the perfect partner to help Lay's create the ultimate sensorial pairing of flavor and music.

As a result, "Right Here, Right Now" was born: a new, original song that Bebe remixed across three different music genres.

Bebe Rexha:

“As an artist, I love immersing myself in different music genres because they all make you feel a variety of emotions.”

“You can feel those same emotions when tasting different flavors.”

“That's why this collaboration with Lay's felt so right, because we're bringing an awesome blend of music and flavor to our fans - three flavors, three music genres, and three songs that not only taste and sound great, but make you feel really good too.”
