Frito-Lay Creates “Taste of Superbowl” Campaign for NFL Playoffs | Lots of Confetti

Written by Frito-Lay

At Frito-Lay, we’re always looking for fresh ways to bring excitement to our fans as they get together around a chip bowl, especially during football’s biggest moments. So for this year’s National Football League (NFL) Playoffs, we’re giving fans the taste of a Super Bowl victory by highlighting one of the most fun parts of a Big Game win – the triumphant rain of confetti. Opening your favorite bag of chips on Super Bowl Sunday can taste just as good as a winning the big game.

It’s been a joy to unite football legends Rob Gronkowski, Marshawn Lynch and Troy Polamalu for this “Taste of Superbowl” campaign. Our goal was to capture the fun behind a huge “W” and take the players back to that winning experience – this time as confetti bursts from bags of Lay’s, Cheetos and Tostitos. Check it out!

Frito-Lay

In 1932, C.E. Doolin entered a small San Antonio cafe and purchased a bag of corn chips. After learning the manufacturer was eager to sell his business, he bought the recipe and started making Fritos corn chips in his mother’s kitchen. He sold them from his Model T Ford.

That same year, Herman W. Lay started a snack food delivery company in Nashville. He too bought out the manufacturer to form H.W. Lay & Company, which became one of the largest snack food companies in the Southeast.

In 1961, the two companies merged and Frito-Lay, Inc. was born. Four years later in 1965, Frito-Lay, Inc. merged with Pepsi-Cola to form PepsiCo. Snack lovers everywhere rejoiced.
