Lay's Barbecue Flavour potato chips

Lay's is one of the world's most recognized snack brands, famous for its wide variety of potato chip flavors. The brand was founded in the United States in 1932 by Herman Lay. In 1961, it merged with Frito to become Frito-Lay, and later, in 1965, it merged with Pepsi-Cola to form PepsiCo, which remains the global owner today.

Because Lay's has a massive global footprint, manufacturing occurs in numerous countries to satisfy local demand. For the European market, products are often manufactured in countries like Belgium, Poland, or the United Kingdom (where they are branded as Walkers), depending on the specific region. The packaging shown features English labeling typical of international or European distribution. PepsiCo manages these global operations through its Frito-Lay North America and PepsiCo International divisions.
