So that's how both Fritos and Lay's (Frito-Lay) come from because you already told the story of Fritos in your Doritos story.

Now Lays has expanded to being the worlds biggest distributor of bagged air…

[@BrandonHanson]

Welcome to Captalism representing stagflation. Isn't it wonderful?

That air is what preserves the chips

[@BruceArcher1]

my dad was literally crying with laughter at that one!!!😁😁

[@Captyr_____]

Yo that was brutal

[@Storbang]

So what you’re saying is he went from selling Pepsi as a boy to becoming CEO of it?! What a story!

[@johnwayne3904]

My thoughts exactly lol

[@Clame756]

No he became chairman

[@jamesfracasse8178]

CEO of Oreos 😂🤣

[@FROST_HUGGER]

Fun fact: The main ingredients for lays is not potato fried in veggie oil and other stuff, Its 78% nitrogen 21% oxygen, .96% of mostly argon and .04% carbon dioxide, The chips is just the side product during the processing in the air into the bag we all know and love

[@Smitekk]

Shut up

[@shiloranxxer]

Its actually 100% nitrogen

[@endoetz]

I heard some divers also use Lays as an alternative to oxygen cylinders

[@ilyquackio]

yeah but dorito bags are just getting smaller

[@AlexDimitrov88]

Your stories are pure gold! I enjoy every single bit of them profoundly!!!

[@asoftraiden]

Every single chip*

[@reizinhodojogo3956]

his stories are purely spreaded too much that its rare? cause gold is abundant but spreaded too much evenly that it becomes hard to collect it

[@lgp415]

And really that's all it is because it's not the real history of Lay and its origins he stole the recipe from a Mexican potato chip vendor because his version was not selling well decided to take a trip to Mexico one day

[@Nuclei_Breaddo4]

If Herman knew that the lays bags contained 90% air he wouldnt be proud

[@KotarouOfficial]

True

[@theophrastusbombastus827]

It’s actually nitrogen, needed to preserve the chips.

[@rhuttrho88]

​@@theophrastusbombastus827 🤓

[@martijn3015]

@@theophrastusbombastus827 one must wonder though how they keep up the supply of that nitrogen with how many bags they have to fill three quarters of their bags with it every year.

[@pncvsx9888]

That bag of air is necessary to maintain the chips freshness and it also protects the chips from getting crushed

[@FakeRestarted]

In the near future, we would have 3 uses for lays 1. eating the chips 2. free bagged oxygen 3. useful covers

[@verifeli]

Bagged Nitrogen.
