Origin Story: This flavor was originally slated to be called Shishito, which explains why only about one in ten chips actually have any spice to them. However, the Lay’s Flavor Department was overruled by the Marketing Department, which felt that shishito was not yet well known enough in middle America, thereby slapping the jalapeño moniker on the bag instead.
