Lay's Gourmet Original crisps

Lay's Gourmet is a premium line of potato chips under the globally renowned Lay's brand. The brand's history dates back to 1932 when Herman Lay opened a snack food operation in Nashville, Tennessee. Following a merger with Frito in 1961, it became Frito-Lay, Inc., which later merged with Pepsi-Cola to form PepsiCo in 1965.

Today, Lay's is one of the world's most successful snack brands. The Gourmet variant, often featuring specific artisanal textures or premium seasonings, is produced in various international facilities to serve local markets—specifically the Iberian market (Spain and Portugal) for the packaging shown in the image. The brand is managed under the massive portfolio of PepsiCo, which maintains a presence in nearly every country worldwide through a network of local subsidiaries and manufacturing plants.
