    1:43 actually there is a science behind the seasoning on the "less sodium" Lays. The lightly salted chips taste the same as the regular while having less salt. This is because the crystal of salt used in the lightly salted is different. We have actually studied these crystals and they are different than traditional table salt. And on top of all, Lays has patent the production of these salts. This is an engineered salt crystal which tricks your taste buds into thinking there is more salt than actually there is. Typically engineered salt crystals cost more to produce which will lead to a higher cost of the final product.

It's basically a salt brine that is highly temperature controlled and they use salt crystal seeds that are different from traditional salts.These salt crystals are microscopic but they hit your taste buds in a totally different way than regular salt making you think that there is more salt than actually present.

    From the UK. The first time I sampled 'Lays' (Cheese) was in a small spanish village back in 2002/3. I have got to say the spanish Cheese Lays taste way better than what I had become accustomed to ( Walkers) back in the UK. Strangest thing....fast forward 17 years later. Immigrated to spain for 3 years and could not find 'Lay Cheese and Onion' flavour anywhere in spanish supermarkets. Cheese and Red Pepper, Cheese and etc...etc...but not Cheese and Onion!.

    No. Here’s why I believe this. The manufacturers may have added less content over the years, but I think they have optimized the volume of cushion gas they pump into the bag before it’s sealed. Product delivery costs usually come down to weight, volume, and distance. Adding more padding air at the expense of product will not protect the product beyond a certain volume. At that point more air increases shipping costs due to shipping volume. Obviously the manufacturers want to send you product as cheaply as possible while making you a satisfied customer who will order again in the future. In other words, you may remember the product as being different in the past because variables have been optimized in the supply chain process. These changes benefit both parties. This reminds me of a homework problem in the Linear Programming course I took in college.

    In reference to the "very old days of crisps", whilst crisps were invented in the UK in the late 19th century (at least, a version of what we now call crisps) nobody thought to season/flavour them until the 1950s when the Irish manufacturer Tayto, which is the largest producer of crisps in Ireland (a nation so in love with crisps the company opened a theme park based on their brand, where you can also tour their factory and upon leaving are given a free packet of crisps) began producing their crisps with seasoning.

    Really? Not Smiths? From Wikipedia: The company was founded by Frank Smith and Jim Viney in the United Kingdom in 1920, originally packaging a twist of salt with its crisps in greaseproof paper bags which were sold around London. Ps now owned by Pepsi, but still sold here with the little blue bag of salt to season.

Lay's, Golden Flake called -- they want their "Sweet Heat" BBQ flavor back. I'm pretty sure the Golden Flake version came first (in the 1990s), and that Lay's version came later, but I just can't find the documentation to back it up. Just my (sometimes faulty) memory. If you live in an area that has Golden Flake -- Utz bought the company a few years ago -- and haven't tried their "Sweet Heat" BBQ flavor, try it out against the Lay's "Sweet Southern Heat" version. They are both good, to me, but I like the Golden Flake version a lot more.
