Lay’s makes chips in all the best standard flavors—Sour Cream & Onion, BBQ, Salt & Vinegar—but sometimes they pop off and release flavors we never expected to exist in chip form. Between limited edition pancake-flavored releases, “Do Us a Flavor” fan submissions, and international flavors from Asia and Canada, Lay’s has a lot of really fun and interesting chips to choose from. This is just like life, where there are more kinds of people out there than just Sour Cream & Onion, BBQ, or Salt & Vinegar. So put on your chip exploring hats and buckle your seatbelts low and tight across your laps, because we’re here to tell you which interesting Lay’s flavor you are based on your zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Ketchup Lay’s
The Canadian flag has a red maple leaf on it, and you know what else is red? Your Aries friends’ faces when you tell them the Lay’s chip that best matches their personality is the Ketchup flavor that everyone in Canada adores and everyone in America covets, and then they blush from being so flattered.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Southern Biscuits & Gravy Lay’s
Lay’s Southern Biscuits & Gravy chips were surprisingly accurate. Now, I know these haven’t been seen on shelves since the 2010s, but the soothing, comforting nature of the white gravy-flavored seasoning on these chips has to align with our Taurus friesn. If you are a biscuits and gravy fan, you would’ve loved these bad boys. And most of America—they won Lay’s “Do Us A Flavor” competition back in 2015. These chips are exciting, comforting, and great to have around, just like Tauruses.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Cucumber Lay’s
I know—what?! Cucumber Lay’s? Yes, they do exist. In both China and Canada, at various times. But why Gemini, you ask? Think about it: two very distinct flavors—potato chip and cucumber. Two humongous countries—Canada and China. Two distinct sides of a Gemini personality—the calm and cool one, and the energetic and chaotic one. These chips are Gemini through and through.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Crispy Taco Lay’s
These Lay’s chips taste like every single element in a crunchy taco—seasoned beef, shredded cheese, sour cream, even lettuce—all on a salty, crispy Lay’s potato chip. And, if you think about it, Cancers are kind of like hard tacos—you have to break through the crunchy shell to get to the delicious stuff inside. Don’t write off a Cancer before they open up to you, and don’t write off these chips before you try them.

Leo (July 23-August 22): Numb & Spicy Hot Pot Lay’s
When you are having hot pot, hot pot is the main event. Similarly, when you are hanging out with your Leo friends, they are the main event. Now, if you are daring and go to get hot pot with your Leo friends, who knows what will happen! They world might implode from over-exposure to main events.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): Wavy Cuban Sandwich Lay’s
Virgos are too busy to make themselves a delicious Cuban sandwich complete with seasoned pork, ham, pickles, mustard, Swiss cheese, and some chips on the side, so why not skip the sandwich entirely and just have these chips instead? That option is quick, efficient, inventive, and awesome, just like Virgos.
Libra (September 23-October 22): Miengkam Krobros Lay’s (Thai Lettuce Wraps)
These may be one of the best Lay’s flavors of all time. You can taste shrimp, coconut, peanuts, ginger, and shallots. There is a hint of lime, maybe some basil, and they are salty and sweet at the same time. In other words, these Lay’s potato chips are extremely well-balanced and are a harmonious mix of roughly a gagillion different flavors. Libras love bringing a bunch of different people or things together to create harmony, and if that vibe doesn’t match these chips, I don’t know what does.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): All-Dressed Lay’s
Oh Canada, the land I do not call my home but have always wanted to visit (both the people and mooses just seem so fun). Canadians pride themselves on being what-you-see-is-what-you-get kinds of people, but their most famous chip flavor is actually pretty mysterious. All-dressed chips combine the flavors of ketchup, salt, vinegar, barbecue, sour cream, onion, and “other seasonings”—but what are the other seasonings?! What are they hiding? It can’t be a proprietary KFC-style 11 herbs and spices situation because multiple brands make versions of all-dressed chips. Is this a secret that’s closely guarded by companies that sell chips in Canada? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!!!! Or don’t, and let it remain a mystery, just like mysterious and hard-to-read Scorpios.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Italian Red Meat Lay’s
This flavor is like a Russian nesting doll of global influence. It is an Italian-inspired chip flavor made for Chinese markets by an American company headquartered in Plano, Texas. Sagittarians are the only people with enough curiosity to fall down that rabbit hole and figure out how these chips somehow came to be.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Lay’s Wavy Funyuns Onion Flavored Funyuns Onion Flavored Rings
The name of these chips is practically a novel, and who has the patience to read entire novels before they open up their chip bags? Capricorns. That’s just science.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Lay’s x IHOP Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity Chips
Don’t come at me Aquarians—the Sporked crew actually thought these chips were good. Or, at the very least, the team conceded that these chips taste exactly like pancakes with fruity IHOP Syrup on them and a side of bacon. They’re interesting! And since Aquarians (myself included) love when people think we’re interesting (we actually value that above people liking us), I figure this is a great pairing.

Pisces (February 19-March 20): Honey Butter Lay’s
If there is one sign that is both sweet like honey and smooth like butter it is Pisces. As the most romantic and nostalgic of the signs, it would make sense that those two romantic qualities and two very nostalgic flavors would come together in one globally loved phenomenon of a chip. What can I say? The people love honey butter chips, and the Pisces love love.
