Lay’s has revived Wavy Tzatziki flavored potato chips inspired by the refreshing Greek flavors of yogurt, lemon, dill, garlic, and other unique elements, resulting in a crunchy take on the creamy Mediterranean classic.
America’s potato chip brand launched a series of three new flavored chips for the summer period. Along with the tzatziki flavor it also launched Masala and Honey Butter flavors, inspired by India and Korea, which it says have hit store shelves in the US this month for a limited time. “We are helping fans to experience the tastes of these countries without having to set foot on a plane,” Lay’s said in a press announcement.
Food blogger Snackolator unveiled the brand’s returning product via an Instagram post in July. “Lay’s is bringing Greek Tzatziki chips and I can’t wait to give these a try!” the caption of the social media upload opened, alongside a picture of the bright blue bag design, which featured a flag of Greece, a dove, a flying horse with wings, and cucumber slices.
“Our fans often post about the fun flavors they see while traveling abroad and continuously ask for them here. Now, at the height of travel season, we’re excited to make those dreams a reality and bring them adventure through every bite of our Global Flavors lineup,” said Tina Mahal, senior vice president of marketing, PepsiCo Foods North America.
“As the proven leader in flavor innovation with more than 200 variations of our iconic potato chip, we’re proud to continue to demonstrate our expertise in crafting delicious flavors that appeal to the unique senses and tastes of communities all over the world.”

The beloved Greek dip tzatziki
The beloved tzatziki, the Greek dip, has recently been rated as the second-best dish with cucumber worldwide by TasteAtlas.
As a Guardian food critic once wrote “few things can summon up a holiday like a dish of chilled tzatziki. One sniff of this cucumber and yogurt dip and you feel like you should be barefoot with sand between your toes.”
Tzatziki is made from yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, and numerous herbs and spices such as dill, mint, or parsley. It is usually served as a sauce accompanying many meat dishes, as a simple dip, or an appetizer.
