Origin Story: Wasabi and mayonnaise, two bold flavors that elicit strong reactions from both lovers and haters alike, making them a perfect pairing for this latest Max edition. This flavor combination even caught the attention of none other than Martha Stewart more than twenty years ago. An homage to Hotsy? We may never know, but we’re told that harsh words were shared and that a glass of water may have been slung across the table in the Lay’s Flavor Department conference room when the final vote was cast to move this flavor into production.
