State of the Industry Report—Snacks: Game Changers,Tortilla Chips
Tortilla chip manufacturers are using innovative shapes, zesty flavors and healthy ingredients to turn consumers’ everyday snacking occasions into mini fiestas.
Harris Interactive recently released the results of its 2012 Harris Poll EquiTrend study, which analyzed the responses of more than 38,500 consumers on key measures of brand health for more than 1,500 lifestyle, product and service brands. When questioned about the brands they are likely to reach for when craving a salty snack, respondents chose Lay’s Potato Chips—the top-ranked salty snack for the past eight years—followed by two other Frito-Lay North America brands, Doritos and Tostitos.
Given Frito-Lay’s ability to continuously deliver innovative products that meet consumers’ snack wants (known and unknown), it’s not surprising that the popular tortilla chip brands joined Lay’s Potato Chips on the salty snack award dais.
