On February 8, 2016, Lay’s introduced the Lay’s Flavor Swap Sweepstakes, a promotion running online at FlavorSwap.com where participants can win $250,000.
During the Lay’s Flavor Swap Sweepstakes, four classic flavors and four new flavors go head to head to determine the ones that stay and the ones that go.
How The Lay’s Flavor Swap Sweepstakes Works
Beginning on February 8, customers are invited to buy and try all four swaps then vote to save their favorite flavors in all of the four matchups.
- Fiery Roasted Habanero vs. Flamin’ Hot
- Smoked Gouda & Chive vs. Cheddar & Sour Cream
- Kettle Cooked Olive Oil & Herbs vs. Kettle Cooked Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper
- Korean BBQ vs. Honey BBQ
Participants receive an entry into each daily entry period for a chance to win a $1,000 daily prize or the grand prize of $250,000.
