Lay’s is getting a major glow-up as it approaches its 100th year, complete with a new logo, sunnier packaging, and an all-natural ingredient overhaul. The brand hopes the redesign, which features warm “Lay’s Rays,” a revamped color palette, and close-up chip photography, will highlight its “real potato” roots, because apparently 42% of surveyed snackers didn’t know Lay’s were made from actual potatoes. The company is also swapping out some seed oils for olive and avocado oil in certain lines and plans on making even more changes in the coming year. Whether you’re snickering at the survey or craving a fresh crunch, Lay’s is betting its new look will make everyone see the humble potato in a whole new light.+

Viral Rumor Leads To Huge Potato Theft
A viral potato rumor in Poland has resulted in the theft of 330K pounds of potatoes. Last week, in the village of Dabrowica, a rumor spread that led people to believe 150 metric tons of potatoes “had been dumped and were free for the taking.” With everything from tractors to wheelbarrows, villagers showed up in droves to load up on spuds. In truth, a distillery had asked for the potatoes to be delivered so that they could be used to produce disinfectants. Now, the distiller is out the $17K he paid for the potatoes, and he wants them returned…or those who poached them may face legal consequences.

Scott's Thoughts:
- They didn't know that potato chips are made from real potatoes? How dumb can you be?
- Lays makes good potato chips. Barbeque is my fav.
- IF potato chips were not made from potatoes, what did that 42% of people think they were made of exactly.
