Lay's Flavor Swap Influencer Kit

Food Packaging

What’s better than Funyuns® and Doritos®, some of Frito-Lay’s® most loved flavors and brands? Reimagining them in a whole new way by mashing things up and swapping flavors! For Summer 2021, Lay’s® Flavor Swap program brought the distinctive flavors of both Funyuns® and Doritos® to Lay’s® chips for a fun experiment meant to surprise and delight millennials who grew up with these beloved brands while generating social buzz.

For the swap, the Design Team combined the current Lay’s® bag design with the brand colors for each of the respective flavors: blue for Cool Ranch® and green for Funyuns. The pattern in the concentric rings call back to the shapes of the original chips, highlighting the collaborative aspect between the brands. The team also created a collective influencer kit that was delivered to media personalities to start discussions and build buzz for the program.

This Design was awarded Iron in A' Packaging Design Award in 2022. Iron A' Design Award : Awarded to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Respected for integrating industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, they provide fulfillment and positive feelings, contributing to a better world.
