Maple Bacon Makes Its First U.S. Appearance

Maple Bacon is the only flavor in the lineup that has never been sold in the United States. Its November 8 release marks the flavor’s first time on American shelves, adding a sweet-and-smoky option to the savory side of the holiday collection.

Lay’s Positions the Lineup as a Holiday Gift

Lay’s is pitching the collection as both a party snack and a stocking stuffer. According to the company, 78% of consumers consider food a great holiday gift, and 55% prefer it over other types of gifts. PepsiCo Foods said the lineup is meant to give fans a taste of the holiday table before and after the actual meal.
