Frito-Lay is coming out with a new flavor on a fan favorite snack and it looks like it’s their best one yet.

Being a giant in the snack industry, Frito-Lay has come out with many iconic snacks and innovative new flavors. They are best known for their chips, popcorn, and pretzels. Each of their snacks has their own flair and character, making them stand out the moment you spot them in store shelves. From the spiciness of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to the cool taste of Cool Ranch Doritos or even the simplicity of Classic Lay’s, they have something for everyone. Some of their unique snacks include Funyuns, Miss Vickie’s, and of course, PopCorners.

PopCorners are those light and airy bites that blend the fun of popcorn with the crunch of chips. They currently come in seven flavors that include favorites like Kettle Corn and White Cheddar to bolder choices like Spicy Queso and Sweet Chili. But now, they’re coming out with a hot new addition that is sure to get everyone excited. Ready? They’re releasing Jalapeño Popper PopCorners.

For a limited time, this new flavor will bring the heat of jalapeño peppers and blending it with the rich taste of cheese to create a snack that’s both spicy, cheesy, and creamy all at the same time. You can get an exclusive first taste of this exciting new flavor at the 150th Kentucky Derby on May 4, 2024. Attendees can visit the PopCorners booth to get a taste and the chance to win prizes.

What if you can’t make it to the Derby? Don’t worry, this new flavor is coming out on stores pretty soon. It’ll be available in 6.5-ounce and 3-ounce bags so keep your eyes peeled at your local grocery store.

If all these sound exciting to you and you think that Jalapeño Popper should become a permanent PopCorners flavor, then we’d be right there with you. Frito-Lay continues to surprise us with new snack options, and this one may just top the list.

Discovering Frito-Lay’s Roots

There very few brands that compete with Frito-Lay in the world of snacks. They’ve been a powerhouse in the industry ever since the 60s. But did you know that it has a storied history that goes all the way back to the early 1930s? Back then, it was actually two separate companies: The Frito Company and the H.W. Lay & Company. The Frito Company was born out of Charles Elmer Doolin‘s kitchen, where he created the original Fritos Corn Chips. Meanwhile, Herman Lay started a snack food delivery company which later became H.W. Lay & Company and is famous for Lay’s Potato Chips.

In a groundbreaking power move, these two companies merged to form Frito-Lay Inc. Since then, they’ve been churning out a wide variety of delicious snacks that are considered pretty iconic today. Their knack for creating memorable, crunchy masterpieces made them not only a staple at parties, but they also became a constant innovator, keeping all of our collective taste buds on their toes.

Jalapeño Popper PopCorners: The Spicy Scoop

The latest addition to Frito-Lay’s snack family is stirring up excitement. The new Jalapeño Popper PopCorners takes snacking to a whole new level. It’s the perfect combination of heat with a cheesy whisper that might just make you think you’re biting into a real jalapeño popper.

This new gem shined first at the Kentucky Derby, introducing race fans to their new potential favorite snack. It wasn’t just about the horses – with PopCorners in the mix, it was a full-on taste celebration.

Making these snacks even cooler is their limited-time allure. If Jalapeño Popper PopCorners leave you wanting more, you may want to let Frito-Lay know. Getting behind a flavor can sometimes influence these snacking giants to keep it on the roster permanently.

Remember, while they’ve got a kick, those who are a bit spice-shy need not fear. The balance of the jalapeño and cheese means you’re in for a smooth ride alongside the heat. They’ve got crunch, they’ve got punch, and they might just become your next snacking staple. Keep an eye out next time you’re wandering the snack aisle – who knows when Frito-Lay will surprise us with another flavor to fall for!
