Origin Story: This flavor is inspired by the famed lion’s head meatballs, which are traditionally served on Chinese New Year. Sometimes, though, you don’t want to wait until the next New Year to have your fix of lion’s head. Again, to the rescue, comes the Lay’s Flavor Department, assuring that you can enjoy the taste of lion’s head meatballs year round, or while supplies last.
