Lay's Stax Banana Flavor

Owner:PepsiCo, Inc. (USA)
OriginUSA
Manufactured:China

This product is a Chinese-market specific version of Lay's potato crisps, often referred to as Lay's Stax, featuring a unique banana flavor and a Minions-themed promotional packaging. The Lay's brand has a storied history, originating in the United States when Herman Lay opened a snack food operation in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1932. It later merged with Frito in 1961 to form Frito-Lay.

Today, Lay's is a global powerhouse under the ownership of PepsiCo, which acquired the brand through a merger in 1965. While the brand is American by origin, these specific canned crisps are manufactured in China to cater to the local East Asian market. PepsiCo China operates numerous production facilities across the mainland to supply regional demand for these localized flavors.
