Ruffles Sour Cream 'n Onion potato chips

Ruffles is one of the world's most iconic potato chip brands, known primarily for its signature ridged cut which provides a sturdier texture for dipping. The brand was originally created by Bernhardt Stahmer, who adopted the ridged design to mimic the look of ruffles on fabric. In 1958, the brand was acquired by the Frito Company, which later merged with H.W. Lay & Company to form Frito-Lay. Since 1965, the brand has been under the umbrella of PepsiCo following the merger between Frito-Lay and Pepsi-Cola.

This specific packaging, featuring bilingual English and French text and the 'Made in Canada' logo, indicates it is the Canadian variant of the product. In Canada, Ruffles is managed by Frito-Lay Canada, a subsidiary of PepsiCo. While the brand originated in the United States, it maintains a massive manufacturing footprint across North America, including several production facilities within Canada that use locally grown potatoes to supply the domestic market. PepsiCo remains the ultimate owner, standing as one of the largest multinational food, snack, and beverage corporations in the world.
