Origin Story: To celebrate the FIFA 2026 World Cup returning to North America, the Lay’s Flavor Department looked to the pampas of Argentina once again. This release follows a similar trend of Argentinian tributes for the tournament, such as the Grilled Steak in Poland and Asado in China. For the US market, they focused on the essence of chimichurri—a vibrant, garlic-and-parsley sauce that is practically a ritual in Argentinian grilling —paired with the deep, charred notes of a traditional steak.
