Lay's just released eight regionally inspired potato chip flavors.

The company is known to release bold chip flavors in the past. This summer is no different. However, according to PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division, they are releasing the most chip flavors that the brand has ever introduced at one time.

Lay's announced the"Tastes of America" program on Wednesday. The flavors are regionally-inspired and are said to represent distinctive tastes from across the country.

Maryland got one too. It's called the Chesapeake Bay Crab Spice. The flavor celebration will take place at Chesapeake Crab & Beer Festival in National Harbor, Md., on August 18.

"Lay's knows how significant local cuisine is to Americans," said Sarah Guzman, senior director of marketing, Lay's. "From Fried Pickles with Ranch in the Midwest, to Deep Dish Pizza in the Heartland or Cajun Spice in the Central Gulf, we wanted to honor the beloved flavors that remind our fans of home by making 'Tastes of America' our biggest flavor launch yet. We couldn't think of a better time of year to bring these flavors to our fans because between barbeques, food festivals and outdoor fun, summertime truly is the most flavorful time of year."

To celebrate the launch,Lay's will embark on a Tastes of America tour where the company is expected to pop up at hometown food festivals across the country.
