Origin Story: The tuber-obsessed wing of the Lay’s Flavor Department is still at it. While the yam series got the spotlight first, this second release in the taro series pivots toward a more savory, culinary profile. It’s a classic salt-and-pepper play on a root vegetable. Some might say it’s a sophisticated move, while other might find it an overly simplistic way to eat a giant tuber from underground.
