Herr's Launches 2025 'Flavored by Philly: Crunch Off' Competition

Herr Foods Inc., a distinctive snack manufacturer based in Pennsylvania, has launched their fourth annual competition, the Flavored by Philly: Crunch Off. This vibrant contest invites snack enthusiasts to participate in celebrating local flavors by voting for their favorite chip flavor from previous winners. The victorious chip will claim a permanent place within Herr’s diverse product lineup.

To kick off this year's exciting event, Herr Foods is collaborating with Kyle Schwarber, the fan-favorite slugger from the Philadelphia Phillies. This partnership aims to encourage snack lovers throughout the tri-state area to try the bold contenders and make their voices heard. Schwarber, known for his enthusiasm for Herr's chips, expressed his excitement about joining this year’s Crunch Off, stating, “I’m excited to partner with the official chip of the Phillies for this year's Flavored by Philly Crunch Off. With such bold flavors, I can't wait to see which one earns a permanent spot.” Moreover, Schwarber acknowledged Herr’s ongoing support of his initiative, Neighborhood Heroes, showcasing the company's community involvement.

The Flavored by Philly Crunch Off has cemented its status as a cherished tradition that not only celebrates Philadelphia’s unique culinary scene but also engages fans and consumers alike. This year’s competition features three enticing flavors, each crafted as a tribute to Philadelphia’s gastronomy:

1. Long Hots & Sharp Provolone: Inspired by a local Philadelphian’s creation, this chip features the fiery essence of roasted pepper combined with sharp provolone, offering a zesty and mildly spicy experience.
2. Tomato Pie: Reflecting the beloved signature dish from Corropolese Bakery, this flavor merges the delightful tastes of sweet tomato sauce and Romano cheese, all accompanied by Herr’s renowned crunch.
3. Special Hot Stromboli: Mimicking the famed Romano's Special Hot Stromboli, this chip showcases a delightful mix of cheeses and spices, coupled with a moderate amount of heat, embodying the spirit of a Philly classic.

As the competition kicks into gear, Ed Herr, Chairman and CEO of Herr Foods, emphasized the importance of this event in honoring Philadelphia’s culinary identity. He remarked, “We’re proud to let our fans choose which of these marvelous flavors becomes a permanent addition to our snack family.”

Voting officially commenced on June 9th at 9 AM EST, via herrsflavoredbyphilly.com. The voting process will remain open until August 4th, with the announcement of the winning flavor set for August 31st. Not only does participating in this poll influence which chip will secure its spot in Herr's catalog, but voters also stand a chance to win one of eight fantastic sweepstakes prizes, including a Herr's gift basket filled with snacks and a $100 gift card.
