Frito-Lay - Bigger Than You Know

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.

I get the variety pack that comes with the chili cheese Fritos. Way better than the originals.

God bless the algorithm that brought this channel to my recommendation page. I’ve been binging these videos like a Netflix series.

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!

I've been looking for an opportunity to say this... as much as I like this guy's content, he sounds like he just woke up in EVERY FUCKING VIDEO. Does he make these vids literally rolling out of bed at 4am?

[@TiberianFiend]

Can we get one on Yum Brands and why Pepsico spun them off?

[@hotwax9376]

@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.

[@TiberianFiend]

@@hotwax9376 Are those restaurants with those fancy Coke mixing machines? Strange that I've never seen a counter from Pepsi.

[@hotwax9376]

@@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.

[@TiberianFiend]

@@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.

[@DanRustle]

pretty interesting stuff . love the vids man .

[@mathewxd2658]

Your videos are so insightful

[@UnAmazingRED]

I can't wait for the PepsiCo video. That's gonna be a good one. So much to cover.

[@saullerman4287]

Hello. Make a video about, Hertz, AVIS and the major car rentals companies

[@Rossturnerphoto]

I would be interested in a more in depth video on Frito Lay whether it covered the development of their flavors, marketing, or a combination.

[@lyndonlay]

Hey that’s my grandpa. Ask me if you want to know any more about Herman

[@napoleonbonaparte7529]

Have you ever met him?

[@DavidGarcia-je8jv]

I know it might be niche, but I need a video about D'addario, the music industry's biggest hidden gem company.

[@araparseghian2]

As a guitarist and bassist, D'Addario is my absolute favorite string brand. However, I think it's a bit too esoteric for this kind of video. Company Man tries to use brands that are familiar with the general public, but D'Addario isn't very well known if you're not a musician.

[@DavidGarcia-je8jv]

But D’addario also owns steel manufacturing and reed companies and about a million other things. Anybody who’s ever played an instrument has probably come into contact with something D’addario.

I vividly remember getting into an argument with a classmate in 4th grade about whether or not Ruffles were lays or their own company.

[@JawnGG]

I knew a lot of the brands they own because we get fritolay shipments every Tuesday at the store I manage. Still very interesting knowing all the details.

Technically Frito Lay is part of PepsiCo, bigger than you know! Even their chips and snack division is part of an even bigger conglomerate!

And the back says "PepsiCo", not "Frito-Lay" 😉

[@ferrjuan]

Frito-Lay also owns Sabritas which is the main tortilla/potato chips of Mexico. To this day there are chips by Frito-Lay that share the logo on the bags with Sabritas I think it mostly a southwest thing.
