[@ambervd1234]

Wowww they have Chicken Masala? We need more exciting flavors in Europe!

[@FastFoodFactory]

@@ambervd1234 Yes! They offer great flavors in Asia

[@MatthewMcDonald-s7t]

Ketchup is best.

[@FastFoodFactory]

@Roy-r7n Wow! That sounds delicious

[@bowlofpuffs523]

​@@FastFoodFactoryI was thinking the biscuit and gravy also. I like the cheddar poppables. Those are good also

[@Espy1019]

I’ve gotten away from eating potato chips due to high prices!! A family sized bag used to be (only two years ago) about $2. Now, one family sized bag is $4.50 or more! No sales, no discounts, no specials. Not buying chips at that high price.

[@LordCarpenter]

Yep! Bidenomics is working.

[@SoleEpiphany]

Not to mention the shrinking amount in the bags, shrinkflation sucks.

[@kathythayer542]

Corporate greed

[@Primus54]

Believe it or not, I started buying Walgreens “Nice” brand chips that are usually sold at $1.99 to $2.99. I find their quality and taste to be very good to excellent. And they have the popular flavors along with rippled for dips.

[@G2MEDIAFACTS]

Better prices to come under Donald J. Trump’s house economy. I guarantee it.

[@davemazza791]

The original Lays are king! 🥔😋

[@Biggestfoot10209]

Almost as good as Wise original.

[@jayg6434]

Extremely unhealthy!

[@douglashoff95]

I like the 50% Lower Salt. This video will give me a whole new appreciation next time I bite into a chip.

[@Gman-NY]

Please start using Avacado oil for your chips. I know it costs more but it is so much healthier than the oils you currently use.

[@josephgaviota]

Um, potato chips are not a health food. You may not have known.

[@kenney8656]

Classic salted is my absolute favorite!

[@josephgaviota]

I'm with you; plain and simple is best.

[@uuzd4s]

I worked as a Millwright for the largest Seafood Producer in Alaska for 15 yrs. About my 5th yr in the Company hired an R&D Group out of Seattle to re-invent a few of their antiquated seafood processing machines. There's a LOT of Engineering that goes into a food processing plant like this as so many machines are highly specialized. There's a Lot of people behind the scenes that keep all the wheels turning in a place like that.

[@ambervd1234]

I love the song in this Lay's commercial, so good 🤩

[@richardingraham-yy4sz]

My favorite Lay's chips are the classic chips and barbecue chips. I think I go get me a bag today. 👍

[@usb1.0-yt]

This is my favorite chip! And now I know how it's made! Thanks for your great video 👏👏

[@FastFoodFactory]

Thank you for watching! Hope to bring you more interesting videos!

[@vincentpulizzijr]

Cheddar and sourcream is my #1 favorite

[@Haywire-Alguire]

Canadians would like the roasted garlic chips !! 👍🇨🇦

[@beatleschick]

My personal fave? Good ol' Barbecue!

[@ashlynntaylor6045]

Years ago when I was in the USA, I loved the roasted garlic flavour. It wasn’t available in Canada.

[@robinhardy4599]

Lay's put out a Promo Limited edition chip CRISPY TACO flavored 2 weeks ago. Blew my taste buds away. 😋👍🌮

[@georgiareddirtroad9919]

I suppose I am a weirdo but I love regular chips with ketchup!

[@jessebatchelor]

Worked for frito Lay for 10 years. Good company and gr3at product. Fav Lays flavor? Classic or Wavy Lays, depending isle dipping into their mild cheese dip++ ( line number 24) yummy!!!

[@kingtd9674]

I wouldn't be able to work here, I'll be nibbling chips all day during my shift

[@captainkeyboard1007]

My first favorite flavored Lay's Potato Chips was "Classic." Today, my second favorite flavor is "Lightly Salted."

[@KamramBehzad]

I have a problem with videos like these. I always want what I'm watching.

[@ani041193]

“No one can eat just one”

[@Wiggleswithgiggles]

My favorite flavor?🤔 Ruffles original. Good on its own yet holds up to a dip.

[@SandraDeJager]

My hubby Russel love s sour cream and salted and salt and vinegar and a chili plane would be asome

[@arubaguy2733]

The process of making their various corn chips (Doritos, Fritos, Nacho roungs and scoops) is even more interesting. Steam-cooked corn made into a dough-like paste and either flattened by laser-guided rollers and cut into the triangles or other shapes. Fritos are formed by forcing the dough through dies in an extrusion process. Nothing beats the flavor and texture of a corn chip hot and fresh from the cooking oil with no seasoning at all. I got to see all this when doing some contract work in several Frito Lay plants. I'm going to go watch how Cheetos are made. They weren't produced where I worked.

[@TruongLeChinh]

great video! i really enjoyed the insight into how Lay's chips are made. but honestly, i always find it surprising how much oil they use in the process. i mean, don't you think it kinda affects the taste and health aspect of the snack?

[@ericphelps1796]

I LIKE the Baked Chips

[@MrSuzuki1187]

I have been buying Lays potato chips for over 30 years. Then one night, I tried running one of their chips through a bowl of French onion dip, and the chip broke, as did every chip I tried that night. And it occurred to me that when I buy a new bag of Lays Potato chips, most of the chips in the newly opened bag are broken into small pieces from the normal handling from factory to consumer. It is hard to find a full chip in any bag. Then I realized those bastards had cut the chip's thickness in half in order to save money and improve their bottom line and to enhance the shareholder's return on their investment, AT THE CUSTOMER'S EXPENSE. The next day, I called Lays and voiced my concerns but instead of admiting their obvious guilt, they sent me cupons for discounts on more Lays chips. In today's corporate world, the customer is not even in the equation when they cut the quality, the size, the quantity, or all three of the product they sell. And the customer? He' just than annoying person who calls them to complain.

[@mikemccormick8115]

Your verbal concerns mean nothing. Your refusing to buy poor quality does.

[@Haywire-Alguire]

Holy shit ! Thats a lot of chips !! Barbecue Lays chips are the bestest ! 👍

[@IamKoolRU]

How about peanut butter/ Coconut flavor? I make toast with those on it. Yummy!!

[@f45125]

The patented blades that cut the ‘Ruffles’ are highly secured in lock boxes when not in use!

[@anthonylively9264]

i am not pickey but i always buy a smaller bag .... so they taste really good .... not that i dont like stale chips but i love how fresh they are in smaller bag ..... sometimes i do buy big bags ..........

[@terryasheim9038]

With the big bags just use a bag clip and they'll stay fresh for a long time.

[@anthonylively9264]

@@terryasheim9038 i guess i will have to get a bag clip and try that ..... thank you for that tip....

[@briannagorman3119]

@@anthonylively9264 A less expensive way is to use a close pin

[@adamhuffman3354]

Yea I’ve always done the same thing, bought the little bags because they do taste a lot fresher.

[@mikepennington9285]

Whe I was a kid Hostess was the best brand we had. Lays bought out Hostess and chips have never been as good since.

[@LordCarpenter]

Cape Cod chips go through two additional quality steps. As soon as they come out of the fryer, they are loaded into a centrifuge that spins off excess oil. Then they pass through a vision system that rejects chips with black spots and other less-than-perfect chips.

[@frankbarker739]

CLASSIC....

[@InnocentCruiseShip-fk6se]

I'm in South Africa & had found burned potato crisps, but I love them anyway on bread.

[@richardroth1308]

I'm glad that I've never had a habit of eating this stuff / and other highly processed snacks.

[@geraldwilliams-gf8ke]

Good stuff.

[@ShinyHappyPurple]

As far as I know we don't get Lay's chips down here in Australia but we do have a lot of other brands of chips. My fave is Samboy and the best flavour of chips they bring out is Atomic Tomato.😋🤤 The other flavours of Samboy chips are yummy but Tomato is the best. A couple of other Aussie chip brands we get is Smith's and another called Thins which have a delicious melt-in-your-mouth texture.♥👍

[@louispaparella5766]

Check the fine print. Some of those brands might be controlled by Lay's.

[@robertfournier7050]

Why not keep the peal. Cool idea to use it as animal feed.Thanks. My favorite flavors are Au Gratin. I love BBQ chicken.

[@alanbrewin4639]

MARMITE FLAVOUR

[@robertgoss4842]

I'd love to work in a Lay's chip factory, as a taste sampler between the salt-and-vinegar and barbecue lines. The only risk is that after four or five years, I might get tired of chips

[@danrhone9756]

I buy store brand chips because it’s more cheaper but it’s good to know how chips are made in factories

[@sheilakarlen5266]

My favorite was the biscuits and gravy flavor.

[@nanee3gg]

Love love love love love love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrSil100]

I’m a big fan of Lays, but these days I maybe like Doritos even more. They’re just more crispy. Otherwise Lays natural! 💪🚀

[@larrymckenzie6910]

I love the salt and vinegar chips

[@clivenicholson6965]

Poison oil...thats the problem'...seed oil degrades upon heating

[@PwNn00bzFTW]

Lays WAVY is the GOAT!... If only they made salt and vinegar wavy...omg

[@angelotimonera7967]

Make a Philippine ADOBO flavor of Lay's!

[@johnnymaccool9828]

I remember a full size bag was .39 cents, early 60’s now 4-6 bucks

[@muhammadahashfaq2720]

Sour and cream

[@heroesandzeros7802]

Can we try a "Raisin" flavor?

Could you make TV Dinner flavored chips?

Both classic and barbecue!

bro Lay's 🌶️🌶️🌶️ my favorite, 👌

[@hhducho8818]

I love it

[@Gregoriosplace]

I like kettle chips.

[@Kingfarmm]

The peeled potatoes are sliced into thin, uniform pieces using high-speed slicers. The thickness of the slices is carefully controlled to ensure consistency in texture and cooking.

[@vincentpulizzijr]

We should be able to buy any flavor online, I would love to try cappacino without going to Bejing

[@reginaldcarter5341]

I like salt & vinegar lays chips 😊

[@tall_dude1233]

I don't usually buy Lay's because the store's private label is much, much cheaper.

[@felix63099]

classic for me

[@thomasdonlin5456]

Sour cream and onion or barbecue sauce.

[@skedar16]

Cream and onion

[@earllsimmins9373]

Researchers are working on creating vegetables from animal meat like carrots from rabbits, peanuts from squirrels,bananas from monkeys, and Brussel sprouts from skunk.

If I fell into a hopper of finished chips, no problem, I could eat my way out!

[@funinthesun622]

Low salt is my favorite

[@marl336]

I want paprica flavored chips in the USA!!

[@mammyrammer4209]

I eat a lot of chips ,especially salt and vinegar,and sometimes Lay's can have more or less vinegar.

[@midnightrunner684]

Golden flake used to make the best hot chips back in the 1980's .After that they changed their ingredients and were never the same again

[@sammymarcy6029]

I was painting a unical 76 auto truck stop near a Lay's factory and a truck driver brought a full load of potatoes to give away for free. They were rejected for having too much sugar content and he contacted a local radio station and the truck stop and gave them away to the public because it was faster and cheaper than taking them to a landfill.

[@alanbrewin4639]

i like the cheddar poppables

[@harriethopper8540]

Definitely wavy

[@bobfitch607]

Original are my favorite but would love seafood flavor here in upstate New York

[@timburris3758]

Classic

[@roccozarcone4393]

Maybe it’s time for garlic chips

[@Haywire-Alguire]

Good chips but why are they so expensive now ?? Afterall, potatoes are not expensive.

[@phoenixrivenus9270]

Then make your own.

[@Haywire-Alguire]

@phoenixrivenus9270 Faaaaaa Q ! 😆

[@philc.9280]

No one loves potato chips like I do but I hate to be the buzz kill as I reduced the amount I consume due to the acrylamide problem with fried foods like chips.

How come Ruffles are NOT available in a smaller grab bag....

[@FastFoodFactory]

Wow, never heard of that one!

My favorite is regular.

[@ustophl]

Will take store brand anyday. Not as good, but nearly as good. Lays (Frito-Lay) is absolutely ripping people off.

[@BryanBoyce-v8h]

Can you make plain potato chips with no salt

[@vincentpulizzijr]

Factory to the kitchen? My chips don't make it past the couch

[@Brian-ig2nb]

Salt & vinegar is so good

[@larryboatwright1660]

I used to eat nothing but lays. But has anyone bought a bag of their chips lately? I've bought quite a few the last couple months and every bag I've bought the chips are all broken up and the bags are about only half full. The party bags are the size of the original size and cost what the party size was. The biggest complaint is the chip broken up. No big chips that you can dip.

[@markkelsey1036]

all of them

[@YTChiefCritic]

Well I've seen Lay's ads before, so what's new?

[@perrycomeau2627]
