Switch to Sunflower Oil

Now it seems that the Frito-Lay company has switched over to using sunflower oil in its Lay's Classic potato chips. They do not seem to be a separate brand, as I checked the official website and saw that the nutritional information was the same as that of the Classic potato chips fried with sunflower oil, and the packaging was also the same. What I want to know here is whether or not that the fried brands of Lay's potato chips are now using sunflower oil instead of hydrogenated oil. - Hot Dog Wolf 21:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that I understand the question... But if it helps, the Spicy Curry chips they sell in Canada are made with "100% Sunflower Oil", according to the packaging. (friggin' delicious, too. must be the msg) Bladestorm 05:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opinions about the Sunflower Oil Lays - The sunflower oil Lays have the same exact taste as the hydrogentated oil Lays. Some people also think the sunflower oil Lays taste even better and are glad that the taste is better and that the chips are more healthy. Others think theres no difference in the tastes.

i believe this should be excluded from the article unless and until substantial figures and statistics could be provided and backed. The above is a fallable arguement appealing through popular opinion that sounds rather like a producer's ploy to get consumer to purchase more of this relatively new product. Even then, the 'popular' has not yet been justified. Quintessentiallycy 14:13, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Walkers

Why is the logo of Lay's so similar to the log of the crisps Walkers (The British brand from 1880s)?

they really should place all the flavors of the chips all over the world, it pissed me off when they removed dill pickle from the U.S. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.71.35.133 (talk) 09:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Black History Mythology

Removed erroneous and irrelevant mythology on the origin of potato chips. Not only is it wrong, it has nothing to do with the history of Lay's.

"....Likewise, George Crum, chef of the Moon's Lake Lodge in Saratoga, New York, was supposed to have been the first person to fry thin slices of potatoes and serve them to customers, producing "Saratoga Potatoes." In fact, home recipes that called for fried "shavings" of raw potatoes had appeared in American cookery books for decades before George Crum worked at the Moon's Lake Lodge."
