Lay's is one of the world's most iconic snack brands, originally founded in the United States in the 1930s. The brand was created by Herman Lay, who initially sold potato chips from his car before establishing a large-scale manufacturing operation. Over the decades, Lay's has become a global household name, known for its wide variety of localized flavors that cater to regional tastes.

Today, Lay's is a cornerstone brand of PepsiCo, which acquired the label following a merger between Frito-Lay and Pepsi-Cola in 1965. Because of its massive global presence, the product is manufactured in dozens of countries across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. Production typically occurs in local facilities within the region of sale to ensure freshness and to support regional supply chains, though the core recipe and brand standards remain consistent worldwide.
