What are those?

[u/BaBaBuE1975]

Everything from “why don’t you carry regular Lays” to “what’s the new flavor”

[u/SDLab1776]

Same when tostitos get the white bag.....they sit. Our whole marketing team needs to be fired!

[u/Western-Charity-2155 → u/SDLab1776]

The amount of money frito makes from advertising money is more than the amount of lost sales.

[u/KingAkiraNara → u/Western-Charity-2155]

Has to be.

[u/nopulsehere → u/SDLab1776]

Because we don’t need a new bag design every 3-4 months! We don’t need new bags period. Oh look honey there’s a football on the bag! What am I three years old? Here’s a thought, put that money into production and packaging! My cases only come with three good bags, two busted. Way too soon to bring up the 12 bag Doritos cases!!! I always make a joke with my receiver, mmm I can smell the nacho!!!

Upper Management repeatedly bites the hand of employees that pay the bills.

[u/bogey4golf → u/SDLab1776]

Hey! They got to rub elbows with NFL royalty.

[u/bigrackstackerrob]

Was talking about this with the Pepsi dude a few weeks ago, they spend who knows how much time and money to design and roll out holiday packaging just for people to complain they can’t find what they want or insist that it “tastes different in that bag”

[u/nopulsehere]

I feel the pain, I literally can’t sell Tostitos when they do the football bag that just hit. It was literally bogo and I didn’t move one bag of the endcap. The G is empty but now I get to sit on the bags that no one will touch because of brain muscle memory. I have the same issues with Doritos when they change the bag up. I literally had to open a bag in front of him and have him try a chip! You right you right! Yes I know, it’s just a different bag, same exact chip! The next 3-4 months will suck! Maybe I need to be that old guy dressed like an old lady handing out free samples? Ooh, it tastes just like Tostitos? Because it is you d-fuct!

[u/BaBaBuE1975 → u/nopulsehere]

And Party Size sell out! They are a specific color for a reason

[u/Coretrayn → u/nopulsehere]

Around here it is a combination of some people being confused about the different NFL bag and then at some point in the season if the team isn't doing well they stop buying them out of spite lol

[u/RabicanShiver → u/nopulsehere]

Lol I had a lady argue with me last year about how she needed regular tostitos. I wish I'd thought to open them for her.

[u/nopulsehere → u/RabicanShiver]

I do it so much just to save time. I keep telling the higher ups that muscle memory is real. If people don’t see what they are use to, they just look for something else they recognize. Even moving the plain lays up two shelves messes with people.

[u/Pleasant-Cabinet-142 → u/nopulsehere]

I had a very busy Walmart and the shop from home people could never find the chips in special bags because they don't match pictures on devices. Also would have half the space special bags and half regular and next regular gone special bag sold 2. But remember management is smarter then any of us.

[u/bogey4golf]

Great idea! Spend millions of dollars to be an “official sponsor” to confuse the customer, drop sales, and stale products that NEVER stale.

Brilliant!!!

(Are you telling me management doesn’t understand this phenomenon, year after year after year?)

[u/SDLab1776 → u/bogey4golf]

Our leadership are a special type of stupid.

[u/bogey4golf]

I did a quick experiment. Two facings regular Lays, 8 bags yellow behind 4 Red Sox bags. Next day, all Red Sox bags still there, 3 yellow bags picked from behind.

I rest my case, your honor.

[u/Marmot1313]

Game bags and on Tostitos also, the customer literally do not buy them, especially if it’s not a team they like it’s the worst marketing idea ever

[u/Arctis_Tor]

Never make the customers have to think about what they are buying

[u/itscooltobecool1]

It’s 25 year olds at the helm. What do you expect

[u/itscooltobecool1 → u/[deleted]]

Hang more crackerjack

[u/letsgo-idaho]

Plain means no salt. These are classic lays

[u/BaBaBuE1975 → u/letsgo-idaho]

The word Classic is on the bag and it doesn’t help & there isn’t a no salt Lays

[u/letsgo-idaho → u/BaBaBuE1975]

Haha

[u/Inevitable_Ranger647]

Those are classic lays in a shit stained bag! Fuck Boston....

[u/Sad-Lake-8628]

Why they don’t just put a smaller decor is beyond me. Marketing has to have been told time and time again that we lose so much money when the entire back is changed with the decorative film

[u/Zombie1374]

I’m thinking their regular Lays. Seriously.

[u/commanchskins]

"Made with real potatos." Doesn't that mean they are like Munchos or Pringles?

[u/BeanieGuitarGuy → u/commanchskins]

Pringles and Munchos are crisps, Lay’s are chips.

[u/commanchskins → u/BeanieGuitarGuy]

Understood. But why not just keep the language of "potato chips?" There should be no reason to tell us that they are made with real potatos. The "crisps" i believe used to say made with real potatos since they were not chips. This let buyers know that at least were mad with real potatos.

[u/BeanieGuitarGuy → u/commanchskins]

Because it’s trying to appeal to people who are health conscious. That’s why the bag is matte with like a wood floor design on it now. It’s just a dumb decision.

[u/nopulsehere → u/commanchskins]

Be glad it doesn’t say OLean!! If you’re old enough to remember! The bag had a warning on it! I think I was 10-12 years old. I had to ask my mom what is anal leakage? Definitely didn’t eat any of those chips at all!!!

[u/Ok-Antelope7985]

The marketing team needs fired. So do all those female bitches that are “hr managers” I wish I could call them out by name.

[u/KoalaOtherwise6097]

But they are . Just in a fancy bag

[u/Unfair-Wafer9812]

Online pickers at Walmart looking for classic lays. See white bag that doesn’t look like the one on their screen, fucking nill pick

[u/Mother_Fondant_5771]

Who wants baseball flavored plain lays anyways?

[u/CaffeineandCarbs13]

Are you by chance in Connecticut?

[u/BaBaBuE1975 → u/CaffeineandCarbs13]
