Origin Story: Yogurt is the unsung hero of the Turkish culinary world—a versatile, creamy staple that finds its way into everything from breakfast to dinner. Lay’s Turkey decided to elevate this everyday comfort by pairing it with a rotating cast of “seasonal” herbs. It’s an attempt to capture the ephemeral nature of the Turkish countryside, turning a potato chip into a sort of edible calendar. It’s a gamble on the idea that people want their snacks to taste like a specific Tuesday in early October. It’s a sophisticated, slightly pretentious approach to a chip, but in a way that makes you feel like you’re dining at a boutique bistro in Istanbul rather than just snacking on your couch.
