Sriracha-flavored Kettle Brand Potato Chips

These exist now.



It's been a bad few weeks for Sriracha fans. We've been following the ongoing saga of manufacturer Huy Fong Foods and the struggle to get their signature spicy sauce to the people. Between the production plant shutdown and bottle shipments halted until next month -- by order of the health department -- strange forces seem to be conspiring against our beloved rooster. We need something to get us through these dark times.

Enter Sriracha-flavored Kettle Brand Potato Chips.

This is Very Important: Vote for Sriracha to be the next Lay's Potato Chip flavor.

Sriracha-flavored Lay's potato chips. Let me give you a moment to think about that. This is real thing, people. Here's what's up: Sriracha potato chips? Lay's offers three flavors for fan vote.

Three new Lay's potato chip flavors are hitting supermarket shelves this week: Sriracha, Chicken & Waffles and Garlic Cheesy Bread. Fans will be able to vote for their favorite through Twitter, text message and Lay's Facebook page. The flavor with the most votes will stay on shelves for good.

My friends, fellow fans of all that is good and tasty, is there even a choice? Garlic Cheesy Bread? Pssshhhh. Chicken & Waffles? Go to Roscoe's. Vote Sriracha and give it the red, spicy love it deserves.

Sriracha is awesome, and that's really all there is to it. The new flavors are supposed to hit stores on Tuesday, but I'm already starting to hear from folks who have spotted them on sale. Gotta go get me a bag now.
