of tasty flavors for snack lovers sunship's permanent flavors include original garden salsa
harvest cheddar sweet and spicy barbecue and french onion there have also been a number of
popular seasonal flavors such as cinnamon crunch and apple and caramel the sunship's
brand endured some controversy though when people realized the chips included pork enzymes
this was significant because it meant these chips could not be enjoyed by those with religious
or dietary restrictions frito lay responded by dropping the enzyme and announced in april 2011
that sun chips were safely pork free although these multi-grain snack chips have a certain
amount of devoted snackers frito-lay's parent company pepsico announced in 2011 that sales had
declined by double digits despite the decline these chips are still top tier miss vickies

sauce tostitos tostitos is another brand of snack chip owned by frito-lay found on this list
tostitos corn chips have been around for a while they were introduced in 1979 but weren't as well
known as some other snack chips this all changed in 1995 when tostitos became the title sponsor
for the fiesta bowl this is one of four college football games that made up the america's bowl
championship series tostitos had a pretty good run with the fiesta bowl but in 2014 the frito-lay
company decided to drop its sponsorship of the game because it was getting too costly to continue
the relationship i couldn't afford that a number of flavors and varieties of tortilla chips have
joined the original chip over the years there's a range of flavors including hint of lime hint of
pepper jack and multigrain in addition to a range of flavors there's also different shapes such as
the rounds and rolls which is a tube-shaped chip that can hold a lot of salsa dip tostitos ran
into the same issue as sun chips did as far as the pork enzymes go frito lay continues to use
the pork enzyme in its tostitos chips and has a message on its website explaining the continued
use of the ingredient according to the company it allows them to create unique flavors utts

wraps the company on all of its packaging cheetos how much for the cheetos and water cheetos are

the group invented by founder of the frito company charles l merdulin cheetos are a crunchy cheese
puff that have been part of the frito-lay family since the 1940s the success of his crunchy cheesy
snack contributed to the merger with h.w lay in company in 1961 and frito lay was formed in 2010
cheetos was named the most popular cheese puff in the united states of course you were in 2010

hot limon crunchy and cheddar jalapeno cheese if you want something more substantial though
you can always get some cheetos macaroni and cheese for dinner fritos bunch a bunch of fritos
no the frito's brand of corn chips shares some history with its cheesy cousin cheetos
fritos were also invented by charles elmer doolin in 1932 during his time as the owner of the frito
company there are a lot of tortilla chips on the market and they come in many shapes sizes
and colors but even in this crowded market fritos stand apart with their unique curved rectangular
shape and intense corn flavor frito's unique flavor is the result of the ingredients and the
cooking process used to make them that's how we do it standard tortilla chips are made from cornmeal
using a process called nyx tamalization there's a series of specific steps that involve soaking
and cooking the corn in an alkaline solution such as lime water fritos are made using an entirely
different process that involves deep frying extruded whole cornmeal despite their unique
flavor fritos have been produced in a variety of flavors that can appeal to many different
tastes around the world these flavors include honey barbecue chili cheese and spicy jalapeno
even though these relatively exotic flavors are popular the more mundane original fritos
still hold a top spot in the snack chip market ruffles you know get in there ruffle some feathers
well ruffles potato chips with their distinctive crinkle cut or ridged design did just that when
they were introduced to the snacking public by creator bernhardt stommer in 1958 these chips
got their name from the folds seen in ruffled fabric stummer's potato chips were successful
and attracted the attention of the frito company which bought the rights to the ridged chips from
stammer in 1958 this potato chip style has become popular with snackers because they
are more sturdy than some traditional chips that often break too easily and it just breaks my heart
the ridged chips like ruffles seem to stand up better to being dunked in dips and salsas
that can crack a lesser potato chip this ridge style of chip is too popular to remain plain
and over the years frito lay has introduced a number of flavors of ruffles potato chips
the flavors sold in the united states range from the traditional such as sour cream and onion to
slightly more unusual flavors like hot wings and even cream cheese there are a number of flavors
sold in international markets such as onion and parsley flavor is sold exclusively in brazil
so grab some ruffles and go dipping pringles pringles it's a complete thanksgiving dinner
wrinkles are for champions only once you pop the fun don't stop pringles chips unlike many popular
snack chips are not manufactured by the frito-lay company pringles are actually owned by the kellogg
company and its unique chips have become one of the most popular brands of snack chips out there
this is an impressive accomplishment in a market that is largely dominated by the frito-lay company
pringles are unique in a couple of ways and one way is that they aren't called potato chips but
instead are referred to as potato based crisps the reason for this distinction is the manufacturing
process used to create pringles unlike traditional potato chips pringles are not made from sliced
whole potatoes the snack chips are made from a potato dough that is fried and formed into
the unique saddle shape the saddle shape was a conscious decision by chemist frederick bower
who created the chips in the 1950s for proctor and gamble it's a masterpiece this shape could
be stacked in tubular cans to greatly cut down on the breakage that has always plagued bags of
traditional potato chips the initial results were considered a failure because bauer couldn't get
the flavor right and the company decided to move on to other projects however these snack chips had
too much potential so work began anew to make them palatable png succeeded in making pringles taste
good and started selling the chips in 1968 and the fun hasn't stopped since lay's potato chips bring
