   Lay’s wants you to remember that it came from humble, homegrown   
   beginnings. PepsiCo, which owns the chip giant, is giving the brand a   
   makeover worthy of a movie montage: stripping its artificial dyes,   
   updating the logo, and putting a potato right there on the packaging.   
      
   Remember the potatoes. New bags—matte-ified and designed to look like   
   wood planks (like a potato crate)—will hold the chips with revamped   
   ingredient lists. Lay’s promises that the baked, kettle-cooked, and   
   original chips won’t taste different, they just won’t have any synthetic   
   colors or flavors:   
      
   The redesign will also incorporate a new logo that looks like the sun,   
   photos of potatoes on the bag, and the phrase “Made with real potatoes.”   
   A 2021 survey found that 42% of consumers didn’t know Lay’s were made   
   out of the spuds.   
      
   The changes come as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushes   
   companies to ditch artificial ingredients.   
      
   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.—MM
