PENNSYLVANIA - Get ready for the ultimate flavor showdown! The highly anticipated Herr's "Flavored by Philly" competition is back, and this year, the stakes have never been higher. In a battle of champions dubbed the "Crunch Off," the Pennsylvania-based snack giant has brought back three recent fan-favorite winners. This isn't just for a season of glory; the winning chip flavor, decided by public vote, will earn a coveted permanent spot in the official Herr's product lineup.
Meet the Champions: A Trio of Philly Flavor Titans
This year's competition pits three beloved, proven winners against each other, each representing an iconic Philadelphia-area taste. The three flavors returning to store shelves for this limited-time contest are:
- Long Hots & Sharp Provolone (The 2022 Winner): A tribute to a classic Philly sandwich topping, this chip captures the assertive, zesty flavor of sharp provolone cheese paired with the slow-burning heat of Italian long hot peppers. This bold combination won over fans in 2022 with more than 11,000 votes.
- Corropolese Tomato Pie (2023 Winner): Inspired by the legendary square pizza from the beloved Montgomery County bakery, Corropolese, this chip embodies the sweet, tangy, and savory flavors of a classic tomato pie. This flavor captured the hearts of more than 17,600 voters in 2023.
- Romano’s Special Hot Stromboli (The 2024 Winner): Modeled after the iconic, meaty creation from the Delco-based institution Romano’s Stromboli, this chip delivers the savory flavors of a hot stromboli. After earning a whopping 26,000 votes to become last year's champion, this flavor titan is back to defend its title.
