Lay's Sour Cream and Onion Crisps

Lay's potato chips, known as Walkers in the UK and Ireland, are one of the most recognized snack brands globally. This specific variant, Sour Cream and Onion, is a core flavor in their international portfolio, characterized by its blue packaging and ridge-cut or flat-cut potato slices seasoned with creamy and herbaceous notes.

Originally founded in the United States in the 1930s by Herman Lay, the brand merged with Frito in 1961 to form Frito-Lay. Today, the brand is owned by the multinational conglomerate PepsiCo. Due to its massive scale, the product is manufactured in dozens of countries worldwide to serve local markets, typically using locally sourced potatoes and regional production facilities.

As of 2026, PepsiCo continues to be the ultimate owner, managing the brand through its Frito-Lay North America and PepsiCo International divisions. The brand's presence spans over 200 countries, making it a staple of the global snack food industry.
