Lay The Vodka On Me!

Arby’s started selling French fry-flavored vodka last month.  Now the makers of Lay’s potato chips are getting in on that action with a new vodka of their own.

They partnered with a company in Portland, Oregon called Eastside Distilling, but unfortunately, it’s already sold out.  They announced it yesterday . . . started selling bottles online for $40 the same day . . . and they’re already gone.

It’s not clear if they plan to make more, but don’t feel like you’re missing out TOO much.  They used Lay’s “proprietary potatoes” to make it, but we don’t see anything about it actually tasting like chips.  It sounds like it’s just regular vodka with the Lay’s logo on it.

And since you can’t sell liquor without a license, you wouldn’t even be able to re-sell it on eBay.
