The rebrand isn’t because of stupidity it’s because money. Like always.
Big picture: Lay’s generates about 60% of PepsiCo’s annual sales but has seen sales slip every quarter for the last three years. Consumers in every income bracket have been ditching classic snack brands amid rising prices.
So it’s not that the consumer is stupid, it’s that marketing is desperate to find another way to explain that no one can afford $8 for a bag of shitty chips?
Utz is far superior in flavor and pricing. I buy a fair amount of snacks (I leave them by the front door with drinks for the delivery people), and I can buy a 60 ct. box of 1oz. chip bags for $15 or a 40 ct. of the same size from Lays for $25.
Good’s is alright if you can find a bag that hasn’t sat on the shelf for too long. I’d rank it the same as Snyder’s of Berlin or Mister Bee. A regional hit propped up by homers.
I get my funyon fix at the Asian market now. Dragonfly has been doing spices for centuries and their onion ring chips taste like the east india trading company would invade their factory.
Utz are okay and better than lays, but they are still pretty shitty chips
Boulder Chips are way better, actual high quality chips (not fried slices of air), and a party sized bag is like $4. Lays charges for the name and sells shitty chips. Utz charges for the chips but still sells shitty chips. Its hard to find a decent brand of quality chips, but there are some out there
1 out of 8 people in the US have or are using a GLP drug.
the percentage of people who were eating a large amount of snack foods like this are fairly likely to be those 1:8 people who were prescribed a GLP drug… its more than just rising costs, these drugs are changing the way people relate to processed snack food in a profound way and the manufacturers arw well aware.

$1 per chip and a bag of starchy air!

The only chips anyone needs is Good’s.

Boulder Canyon is owned by Utz.
I didn’t before but now I actually prefer ruffles.
But don’t eat much since I’m diabetic.
Those sun chips black beans and queso are awesome and If I eat the serving size not to bad with the fiber
