    Back in the 90s, I bought a bag of classic Lay's from a vending machine. It had dead ants in it. In the days before the Internet, I called their 1-800 number to inform them. I wasn't angry or upset - I just wanted to let them know. Five days later I received an entire CASE of Lay's chips as an apology. Great customer service.

      My space has been constantly been dwindling because we do not spend the money on shelf space which relegates my product to merely one or maybe two facings. It’s harder to make a buck as this happens. But yeah. Grocery store allots space but will also sell the shelf space.

      They’re also arguably the healthiest - sure they’re fried but they only have three ingredients: corn, corn oil, and salt. Compare that to any of the other products mentioned in the video, which have a laundry list of chemicals in their ingredients.
      Regular cheese Doritos, for example, has like 30+ ingredients, including sugar, dextrose, lactose, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate, 3 artificial colors, and “natural and artificial flavor.”
      In my mind, Fritos wins hands-down.

    I’ve been working for Frito Lay for about a year now as a merchandiser and so far I can’t complain much it’s a great company with a very hands off approach on their employees. Only complaint would be their management organization and how they sometimes can be very oblivious to how it is to be the ones stocking and the timing. Otherwise it’s fun to sometimes get a lot of free chips and try the new and limited edition snacks. Also are very competitive in pay which is always a plus.

The first time I went to Frito Lay's facilities and saw fresh...hot out of the oven Flaming Hot Cheetos coming down the conveyer my mouth must of been watering...cause apparently one of the workers saw me salivating. He grabs a container and fills it to the rim with them and tells me to go to the break room and enjoy. They were still hot to the touch but my god they were out of this world.

    One of Pepsi’s biggest advantages is the synergy among their various divisions. For example, they also used to own Taco Bell®️, A&W Root Beer®️, and a number of other fast food companies, which enabled them to distribute their soft drinks through those channels as well. They still have contracts with major companies; in fact, the Baja Blast®️ flavor of Mountain Dew®️ is now found almost exclusively at Taco Bell. You also had the synergy of a snack company selling you sugary soft drinks to wash down the salty snacks. This is something that Coca-Cola®️ got into way late, and PepsiCo has always maintained that advantage.

    Nothing beats Fritos for me. Plain, Chili Cheese, even those weird "Flavor Twist" Fritos are great. I like them alone, with bean dip, with chili and cheese in a Frito pie. In my version of Heaven, Fritos are everywhere.
    And yes, I know they are pretty terrible for you. Not saying I eat them often, I just love it when I do get a chance to indulge.

    The flaming hot lime Cheetos are my favorite. But also consider this, overseas territories get some pretty neat and unusual flavors for their chips, as well as Cheetos. Sadly, none of them ever make it here to the U.S. market (unless you find a website to special order or if World Market just happens to carry them).

    I'm a HUGE fan of cheetos, and actually hate flaming hot. Half the time stores I go to don't even sell the original now, and only have flaming hot, which is frustrating. My second favorite chips were the Wasabi Funyuns, which were sadly discontinued. (they basically tasted like wasabi peas, but with that funyun crunch.)

    I assumed they bought recipes for some of these, but it turns out they invented Fritos, Cheetos, Doritos, and Lay chips in-house, with the possible exception of Doritos. They’re all good products and almost impossible to duplicate (especially Cheetos).

    Frito-Lay was banned in my household growing up because they used their size and legal muscle to bankrupt my grandfather and force him out of business. My grandfather had a competitor business that was doing very well with a new way of processing corn for corn chips. He had just become a millionaire overnight in his 20s.
    Frito-Lay sued him, claiming that he obtained this process with insider information from his ex-father in law who still worked for Frito Lay. They also fired the father-in law. It was bullshit, or so the family story goes. My grandfather hated his jerk of a father in law and did not keep in touch with him, let alone collude with him. Frito-Lay used that connection to justify their lawsuit. They kept throwing money at it until my grandfather couldn’t afford to fight to the lawsuit anymore and was forced to dissolve his company. The next year, Frito-Lay started using the very same corn chip technique he invented.
    Our family ended up okay anyways, but it’s crazy to think we could have been millionaires with a family business if Frito-Lay wasn’t so ruthless in the early days of their ascent to market dominance.

  • @boomerbear7596

My favorite of the products are Doritos, specifically the Spicy Nacho flavor, though I also really enjoy some of the different Fritos flavors as well, particularly Chili Cheese and the BBQ-Honey Flavor Twists... and Sun Chips are great as well, particularly the Harvest Cheddar ones. Let's just say I like my chips.

    Nobody really cares about cartoons, Latin Americans love Speedy Gonzales, a caricature is by definition something that exaggerates traits, so it's silly to get upset about it. If we are gonna be so sensitive we would have to censor pretty much everything, because movies always contain fiction/lies and exaggerations.

    Not sure if anyone's mentioned this already, but going back to Frito being a part of Disney, they used to be mentioned in one of the attractions. It was the Country Bear Jamboree I think. And I think it mentioned it being presented by Pepsi-Cola and Frito Lay. There's old videos of it on here if anyone's curious.

    As usual, people that have no business in getting offended are. For instance, not so recently (by Space Jam 2) certain sectors of the American population tried to ban Speedy Gonzalez but did not happen because Mexicans (and Latinos in general) love the character.
    For me, Doritos is my favorite. Just plain cheese Doritos followed by cheddar and sour cream Ruffles and then Lays sour cream and onion.
