Frito-Lay - Bigger Than You Know
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2019
- When I was in the 1st grade, I was so confused by the name Frito-Lay. The purpose of this video is to straighten everything out for anyone who has shared that same confusion by talking about the formation and size of this business.

Frito-lay: we own the whole chip aisle.
Wrong, PepsiCo--- we own the entire chip isle, Frito Lay doesn't own anything.

Another fun fact, pepsico bought the UK "chip" brand Walkers and decided to change the logo but not the actual name of the product to keep the UK brand loyalty and hence why Lays and Walkers have the same logo but with different text

On Lay's chips here in Europe we don't have the "Frito-Lay" sign, but the "Pepsico" sign.
Becouse fritolay is owned by pepsi
Huh
In Brazil we have "Elma Chips" sign.
Nome Genérico what’s Elma
Not all of Europe, in the UK (still in europe) we have 'Walkers', which was already well-established before they were bought by PepsiCo.
Instead of "buy me some peanuts and cracker jack" it became "buy me some pepsi product and pepsi product"
5 cents in great depression money is 75 cents today. Depending on how big the bag was, that's pretty consistent.

You should do a Bigger Than You Know video on Mitsubishi. They're not only a car manufacturer, but they have a freight division (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries), a truck division (Fuso), an electric division (Mitsubishi Electric), a banking division, and even more including making buses and even airplanes. Look around your house, because chances are, something, whether it be a car in the driveway, the air conditioning unit, the TV, or the DVD player- one of those things might be made by Mitsubishi.
samsung too. they make a lot of stuff
Mitsubishi makes awesome Air Conditioning units
Edit: I now see you mentioned that. Oops.
I install Mitsubishi mini splits. A ductless ac system and i love them
A good topic for that video what when Mitsubishi and Chrysler formed DSM in North America so Mitsubishi could avoid import fees on their cars.
These are entirely different companies that you are listing. It’s like making the assumption that Rolls Royce engines is the same company that makes the vehicles, again, totally different entities. Samsung may be the one that is more like a make it all but I haven’t checked fully.
Here’s some companies you might consider:
Gateway 2000/Gateway Inc.: a once thriving pc company that quickly fizzled after it strayed from its roots. Made famous by their signature cow print boxes.
Publix: a Florida based grocery chain that’s employee owned. An interesting case study in cooperatives.
Aflac: largest supplemental insurance provider, might be an interesting study in and of itself.
Keep up the good work, man.
But they have damn good wings tho
Try suggesting these on his website,
I'm excited to see him cover gateway
My computer is a gateway
Yes do publix
I totally agree on a video on publix!

Bugles are pretty popular where I live in America
Bugles are pretty good, we have them hear in the northeast. But, I dont think you can eat a whole bag of bugles like you can other brands, they're better when eaten over a long period.
I work for frito Lay. The amount of stuff I pack out on a daily basis is astonishing. The amount of brands that Frito represents is huge compared to any other brand
I live in Modesto California where we have a Frito-Lay plant here off Yosemitie and Garner Rd. The plant also has the name Pepsi Cola. Yet, the actual Pepsi Cola plant is 4 miles down the road. We also have a Coca-Cola bottling plant here. Basically, Modesto has many major food plants!
oh hey! Modesto too!
Can’t forget the other massive industries we have such as Blue Diamond and Gallo Winery.
Also further down in Manteca there is another FritoLay factory as well, and it’s quite big.

Excellent. I'm surprised to hear so many people are looking for something that specific but I'm glad to hear it.

I just learned this last week. This happens so often with your channel, every time I learn something you come out with a video about it a few days later going more in depth. Love this channel
I feel deeply saddened that mr. Frito never saw his investment and hard work turn into what it did then, and especially how it's doing now.
Secondly this makes me feel even more frightened of Pepsi co.
who knows what is part of Pepsi co. Are you part of Pepsi co.? Am I part of Pepsi co.?

Mr Frito always signed my paycheck
Flamin' Hot Cheetos are a great story, a janitor invented the recipe (and did subsequently get several big promotions.)
Wendy Pierce he was Mexican....I think he may have gotten it wrong
They either made or are making a full documentary about this story actually! I think it's called "Flamin' " or "Flamin' Hot" - not sure which.
You are 100% correct
I thought he was the one who invented the jalapeño cheetos
@@JoseLopez-ih4of he was actually a Mexican janitor working at a Frito-lay facility. He got big bucks and has a big position in the Frito-lay Cheetos division. From rags to riches
Frito-lays also known as Walkers in the UK.
I was literally about to ask this, noticed that the logos had the same design but never knew for sure
They was a separate British company origianly, but FritoLay bought them out
@@DangerSte ahhh, ok wish that was included in the vid as I'm sure he has a fairly large UK audience.
They're also named Sabritas in Mexico, which if i remember correctly was an acquisition too
I was munching on a bag of Walkers crisps as I watched this video. As I understand it, most of those brands that I knew were because Frito lay bought walkers some time ago and tried selling those brands here(UK)
ight we beefin' you really came at funyuns like that 😤
Here we have a stoner and a non-smoker
Yeah, I really love Funyuns, they are underrated (Not as underrated as Munchos but still). They really are unique, since they are rings, not triangles or ovals like Doritos or Lays
@Big Stank Flamin-hot Funyans are bomb but the regular Funyans are shit
The texture is SO fucking good.
Funyuns are so fucking nasty
I love the opening and closing music of your videos. Excellent choices!
COMPANY MAN: "Frito-Lay - Bigger Than You Know"
FRITO-LAY: "The bag is full"
Here in Mexico they acquired the sabritas brand, which at the time was the second largest chips company just under another one called Barcel. Then they rebranded everything (churrumais, pizzerolas, quesabritas) and started selling their products under the sabritas and not lays name here. They also introduced a really cool thing to boost sales called tazos, they where basically slammers but they came in the sabritas (lays), Cheetos, ruffles and Doritos bags and they where really fun to collect.
Remember the WWE and Spongebob ones?
Infernal Baka
Oh yes. I was always into pokemon, mucha lucha and dragon ball tazos. I also remember the tazo- launcher and cases.
Cool! Was like in Argentina with Franchitas
Gotta love what Mexican snack companies do with so many little promotions and prizes.. Bimbo has put out some cool things also

I love these videos! Your voice is so calming but the content keeps my attention.
I like listening to your videos, they're really good. It's like I'm eating a bag of chips, but instead imagine I enjoyed your video.
Flaming Hots? You went to public school huh?
John Reed 😂😂🤣
I know the feeling. I figured this out back in 2nd grad when I saw frito-lay on the back of the grandmas cookies. I told all of my family and friends. I didn’t realize brands were owned by bigger companies until that day.
I love that company man never seamlessly transitions into an ad midway through the video 🥰🥺
Who know who doesn't have a chip on their shoulder? Raid Shadow legends! The number one hated RUclips sponsor follow closely by insert VPN, audible, cheap wireless headphones....
My granda was a delivery man fritolay for 45yr. For once I actually know the whole video you put forth and it is still amazing to think of the inspiring story of those 2
don't forget about them buying one of the biggest British crips brand Walkers
Lol crip walkers
I was munching on a bag of Walkers crisps as I watched this video. As I understand it, most of those brands that I knew were because Frito lay bought walkers some time ago and tried selling those brands here(UK)
Even down to the stylised imagery on the packaging between Lays and Walkers.
@@Sleeperalt crips or blood?
@@hansolo1983 idk but i heard them british crips are some bloody wankers
What’s really amazing to me is how many of these brands were developed by Frito-Lay themselves as opposed to being acquired by the company.
More amazing nobody can nail faux Cheetos or Doritos. Pretzels, potato chips, cereal, you're frankly better off at Aldi, even if Frito-Lay pioneered the snacks. But a fake Cheeto or Dorito is kind of atrocious (fake Doritos teeter on passable.)
Frito-Lay is such a great company and amazing video Company man :]
When I was little my parents lived on the opposite side of the river of a frito-lay plant. They have train tracks that run right into the building and still today the potatoes come by train. When I was in second grade we got to go on a field trip to the facility and tour the machinery while sampling Doritos. When I would go to the bus stop in the spring and fall you could really smell the chips in the air and hear the trains hitching. I love your videos man, well done.
Everyone should vote on Saturn cars I wanna learn more about it
Eagle and Talon too.
my first car was a Saturn, I'm
interested in knowing what happened to them, why they went out of business.
they didn't go out of business, saturn is GM. gm is still around, they just gave up on the brand name.
Donut Media made a video on Saturn, I think it's pretty good.
But yeah, a video about Saturn from this channel would be nice.
THERE'S PLENTY OF VIDEOS ABOUT GM'S SATURN. THEY WERE SHITTY CARS

Awesome video, really enjoyed the historical aspect! I’d love to see a video on their marketing tactics, vintage advertisements and packaging, product variation, etc! Thanks for all the quality content - keep up the great work!
God bless the algorithm that brought this channel to my recommendation page. I’ve been binging these videos like a Netflix series.
Growing up my uncle worked for Frito-Lay (he's retired now). Finding out a lot of this stuff (especially with the Pepsi stuff) was my first BIG dip into brand awareness. That fascination continued through my life and was what drew me to your channel way back! Glad you're finally covering them!
You crazy, Funyuns are amazing.
You're the man. The company man! Keep it up
SIR, you are just like ME! I remember I used to watch Nightly News, business news every night with my dad! Believe me, I didn't have many friends, mostly because I couldn't connect with them when it came to "regular, kid's stuff..." Glad to see i am not the only!!! Keep up the video post!

Your videos are so insightful
The company man been interested in companies since 1st grade and now have a channel on it. Too cool.

Can you do a video on why Burger King is called Hungry Jacks in Australia
Because they got sued due to there already being a burger king brand in Australia.
Ivan Castillo Okay but why the drastically different name? Why not something like “Burger Boss” lol
wow, really?
He should do a whole video on BK. I don’t know how they survive. Their service is terrible, their food is mediocre and there’s never anybody eating there. At least where I live.
Because there was already a company operating in Aus under the name Burger King and couldn't use that name for copyright reasons. The franchisee was presented a few brand names that the parent company Pillsbury already owned and the franchisee went with Hungry Jacks. In North America, "Hungry Jacks" is Pillsbury's brand of pancake mix.
I lived the chip and soda wars and it is confusing to someone not from Dallas, but we saw these companies every day, and we just know the stories, like; ay ya ya ya, I am the Frito Bandito.

Hello. Make a video about, Hertz, AVIS and the major car rentals companies
Can we get one on Yum Brands and why Pepsico spun them off?
@Tiberian Fiend I'd love to see that. While I don't know for sure, I suspect the reason PepsiCo divested itself of Yum had to do with competition in the fountain business. Because they owned three major fast food chains (Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut), Coca Cola ran trade advertisements which claimed that serving Pepsi products was tantamount to bankrolling the competition. Pepsi even sued Coke on at least two occasions alleging unfair competition in its campaign for fountain deals. Eventually, PepsiCo realized that their continuing ownership of the three chains was ultimately hurting its ability to grow its market share and sold it off.
Since then, PepsiCo has used FritoLay to win fountain deals, with some success. Two years ago the Washington Redskins ended a longtime partnership with Coke to serve Pepsi products at their home games, citing FritoLay as a primary reason. A few years before that Buffalo Wild Wings switched from Coke to Pepsi for the same reason, and the NBA chose Pepsi as its official soft drink sponsor on FritoLay's strength as well. Arby's, which switched from Pepsi to Coke last year, had given its previous contract to Pepsi in the hopes of serving FritoLay products, but that never seemed to materialize. However, Pepsi's overall market share in the fountain business is slightly smaller today than it was before spinning off Yum due to the explosive growth of fast casual chains, an overwhelming majority of which serve Coke products.
@@hotwax9376 Are those restaurants with those fancy Coke mixing machines? Strange that I've never seen a counter from Pepsi.
@@TiberianFiend Which ones? Most Burger King franchises in my region have Coke Freestyle fountains, and I think some Wendy's franchises do too. However, I have yet to see one at McDonald's. One thing I appreciate about Burger King is that the franchises around me not only have a Freestyle fountain inside the dining room, but also at the drive thru window, so you can get many of the same flavor combinations without having to go inside (which is nice if you're on a time crunch).
Pepsi does in fact have a counter fountain called Pepsi Spire, but I have yet to see one in person. I understand there's a Dairy Queen about 50 miles from me that has one, but the closest Dairy Queen to my house has Coke products, and yes, they also have a Freestyle fountain.
Part of the reason why Coke holds a majority of the US fountain market is due to the fact that Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, and Subway all have Coke products. (Interestingly enough, Subway also sells FritoLay products, yet they haven't had Pepsi products here in the States since circa 2004.) McDonald's in particular is a big one, because they sell more fountain drinks than just about anyone else. In fact, they serve so much Coke that the concentrate is delivered to the franchises in steel tanks, while most others buy it prepackaged.
@@hotwax9376 I've seen the Coke machines in Five Guys, PDQ, and Firehouse Subs. Haven't seen them in a Burger King or Wendy's yet. They just rebuilt a Burger King near me, so maybe they put one in there, but I don't go to Burger King, so I'll probably never find out.
Gotta love Frito Lay. Poor conditions and forced overtime. Don’t miss it!
