These Lay’s potato chips can thank NFL stadiums for his or her very existence

I want to have been within the room when a advertising and marketing guru pitched the thought of digging up grime from NFL stadiums, mixing it into fields in Texas, and rising potatoes to make limited-edition luggage of team-specific Lay’s potato chips. As a result of it is kinda good.

Lay’s Golden Grounds chips undergo a standard farming and chip-making course of, with the added gimmick of realizing the potatoes within the bag touched soil that your favourite gamers in all probability ran throughout. Are you able to style the cleats and sweat? Unlikely. These chips are extra about mystique than the terroir of NFL stadiums. 

Lay’s introduced the chips earlier this week, saying limited-edition luggage representing 29 groups might be out there for followers by way of a Twitter sweepstakes. It requires fans to create tweets using a series of hashtags. Full guidelines can be found on the Lay’s Golden Grounds web page.

However wait, you say, there are 32 groups within the NFL, so why solely 29 totally different chips? Sorry, Browns, Bengals and Broncos followers: no dirt-chips for you. I do not know why, however I’ve reached out to Frito-Lay to ask.

A making-of video goes into some particulars of the creation course of. You will be glad to know that grime from rival groups was saved separated within the potato discipline. Which means Chicago Bears Soldier Subject chips will not be besmirched by Inexperienced Bay Packers Lambeau Subject soil. 

Frito-Lay introduced on soccer legend Jerry Rice as the spokesperson for the chips. He described the San Francisco 49ers snacks as tasting like “three Tremendous Bowl wins, 22,895 yards, 1,549 receptions, 208 touchdowns and 13 Professional Bowls.” 

I am guessing the Chicago Bears chips would style just like the fading refrains of The Super Bowl Shuffle and the ghosts of Mike Ditka’s hot Polish sausages. Scrumptious.
