A Follow-up To That Viral Post

Last year, I wrote about a bag of Lay’s chips. The post was featured by this site. It now has 10.8k views. I was in… another state of mind when I wrote that post. You should go read that post first.

It is always good to coast off the success of an old post, and I genuinely wanted to get answers to the chip mystery. So I paid to promote the post.

It worked.

I’ve got answers.

Get ready for:

  • Answers to why the bag of chips is “Fromage flavoured”
  • General Q&A for all questions I kept getting after the post
  • More truly batsh*t crazy Lay’s flavours

I am going to put the most important answers first because I hate clickbait.

Why “Fromage”?

A guy on Twitter said “Fromage” is probably from a soft French / Belgium cheese called “Fromage blanc”. Being totally reasonable, I read the whole Wikipedia page of fromage blanc, and also learned about fromage frais (aka fromage blanc but with a little less funk).
