Design Details

Unique Properties
In China, Lay’s is known for its fresh, daring take on snacks. In May 2024, we aimed to connect with young fans looking for a stress-free snacking experience, so we launched two buzzy limited edition flavors: Lay's Deep Ridged Spicy Hot Strip and Lay's Deep Ridged Spicy Stinky Tofu.
Inspiration
We wanted the new packaging to capture the youthful desire to destress, all while sparking a social buzz in China. Bold, energetic visuals made sure the spicy shout was loud and clear. At the center of the new design is a playful mouth illustration paired with dynamic food photography showing off the flavors at their full power.
