What is Snacks.com?

Snacks.com is an online platform launched by PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay division in 2020 to provide consumers with convenient, direct access to a broad selection of snacks. It was introduced during a time when online grocery shopping surged in popularity, and many people sought easy, doorstep delivery options for everyday items. 

Snacks.com stocks PepsiCo’s most popular brands, such as Lay’s, Doritos, and Quaker, as well as harder-to-find or regionally available snacks​.

The platform also serves as a way for PepsiCo to learn more about consumer behavior and preferences by tracking online shopping patterns. With a diverse range of products, Snacks.com allows customers to curate their snack orders to suit their needs.

ChipsLay’s

2Lay’s Wavy Funyuns

The original onion-flavored Funyuns contain buttermilk, rendering them not vegan-friendly. However, this version takes out the dairy and reshapes the chip from an onion ring into a potato chip with ridges. We’re thinking some dairy-free French onion dip might be in order, too.
