Lay's Stax

Lay's Stax is a potato chip snack food produced by Frito-Lay and manufactured in Mexico.[1] It was introduced in 2003 as direct competition for Procter & Gamble's Pringles (currently owned by the Kellogg Company).

Stax chips compared to Pringles

Stax chips are heavier and thicker than Pringles. The shape of Stax is a simple curve, while Pringles are formed into a double-curve known as a hyperbolic paraboloid. Stax chips have the flavoring spread across the inside curve of the crisp whilst Pringles have them across the outside curve. Stax chips are packaged in plastic packages,[2] while Pringles are packaged in cans consisting of cardboard and metal.[3]
