Lays introduces new Sweet & Spicy Honey flavored chips inspired by ‘Love is Blind’ couple: ‘A Swicy twist’
Lay’s is introducing potato chips that taste “swicy” – a combination of sweet and spicy – and are inspired by a popular “Love Is Blind” couple.
The potato chips brand announced the new Sweet & Spicy Honey potato chips product in a press release on Wednesday.
Lay’s worked with Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed-Hamilton, a couple featured on season 1 of “Love Is Blind”, to develop a chicken tenders recipe that incorporates the new snack product.
“After five years of marriage, the couple is sharing their ‘Marry Me’ meal – the dish that sealed the deal for their relationship,” Frito-Lay explained in its press release.
“But this time, they’re adding a Swicy twist to the viral ‘Marry Me’ meal trend by featuring Lay’s Sweet & Spicy Honey flavored chips as the main ingredient.”

“As a leader in flavor innovation, Lay’s is always on the lookout for the latest trends to inspire our next potato chip flavors,” PepsiCo Foods North America senior vice president of marketing Tina Mahal said in a statement.
“From condiments to cocktails to restaurant menus, the Swicy food trend is everywhere now, so we’re excited to bring this unique combination of flavors to life in potato chip form for fans of sweet heat.”
