The tastes of Philly are once again the inspiration for three new Herr’s potato chips.

Herr’s, the Nottingham, Pennsylvania-based chip maker, has the past few years created unique, flavors based on local tastes and businesses. The Flavored by Philly Eats contest lets chip-eaters decide which is the best.

According to Herr's, there were over 1,000 submissions featuring a variety of flavors ranging from sweet to savory.

Ed Herr, Chairman and CEO of Herr’s, said in a press release, "Herr’s has deep roots in Philly, and we are thrilled to showcase other small businesses and their distinctive flavors through the Flavored by Philly contest."

He added, "Through the Flavored by Philly contest, we wanted to highlight small businesses and their unique flavors to give the people of our community a memorable experience they could truly savor. It was a challenging decision to narrow down to just three finalists, but we're huge fans of these three offerings and can't wait to hear the public's reaction to the flavor combination of these signature dishes with our chips."

The Pennsylvania-based snack company announced their three new "Flavored by Philly" potato chip flavor line this week. They will be available for tasting and voting until August 9, wherever Herr's chips are sold.
