From his family’s front yard in North Carolina, an 11-year-old kid built a homemade stand to sell cans of Pepsi-Cola.
He had such a knack for selling that he later dropped out of school and turned down a job offer from an up-and-coming snack company. But then, life took an unexpected turn, and he was forced to run back to the company and ask if the offer still stands. By the time he made it, it was too late.
Seeing the young man down and out but with a new car, the company asked if he’d help them out with something else. The young man didn’t think there was any future in what they were asking but took his chances.
Years later, that man turned out to be the founder of Lay's, and eventually, the chairman of PepsiCo. Through discovering how to preserve and ship chips so that they were fresh instead of stale, he turned Lay's into a household name with its chips being listed as the best in the U.S. And it all might have never happened if he had never bought a new car, at the perfect time.
This is the story of how Lay's went from being an undertaking with an uncertain outcome to one of the largest snack food companies in the world.

So that's how both Fritos and Lay's (Frito-Lay) come from because you already told the story of Fritos in your Doritos story.

It’s a scam lol. you agreed to sponsor a scam
Now Lays has expanded to being the worlds biggest distributor of bagged air…
Welcome to Captalism representing stagflation. Isn't it wonderful?
That air is what preserves the chips
Well i guess you chose violence today
What an expensive air!
We all know why it's There, but we still make fun of it.
I N T E R N E T .
So what you’re saying is he went from selling Pepsi as a boy to becoming CEO of it?! What a story!
My thoughts exactly lol
No he became chairman
CEO of Oreos 😂🤣
3:38, "Herman was Lay'd off". You couldn't resist that one, could you? 🤣
my dad was literally crying with laughter at that one!!!😁😁
Yo that was brutal
Fun fact: The main ingredients for lays is not potato fried in veggie oil and other stuff, Its 78% nitrogen 21% oxygen, .96% of mostly argon and .04% carbon dioxide, The chips is just the side product during the processing in the air into the bag we all know and love
Shut up
Its actually 100% nitrogen
I heard some divers also use Lays as an alternative to oxygen cylinders
@@endoetz lol
yeah but dorito bags are just getting smaller
If Herman knew that the lays bags contained 90% air he wouldnt be proud
True
It’s actually nitrogen, needed to preserve the chips.
@@theophrastusbombastus827 🤓
@@theophrastusbombastus827 one must wonder though how they keep up the supply of that nitrogen with how many bags they have to fill three quarters of their bags with it every year.
That bag of air is necessary to maintain the chips freshness and it also protects the chips from getting crushed
I’m literally eating ruffles sour cream and cheese chips as I’m watching this😂😂😂
Im eating ruffles sour cream right now too! 😂
You should probably shut it off and take a walk
@@andnear0U812lmfao you should too bud
Your stories are pure gold! I enjoy every single bit of them profoundly!!!
Every single chip*
his stories are purely spreaded too much that its rare? cause gold is abundant but spreaded too much evenly that it becomes hard to collect it
Mmmmm... The fact that every person Herman Lay came across just died, making his business grow sounds suspicious if you ask me 🤔

His laat name reminds me of Tom. Any relation?
Its crazy how the great depression inspired many people to create things that we use everyday
Such a beautiful success story, thank you!
First of all, we don't call a 11 yo jobless
Ah yes a once in a lifetime opportunity selling chips from your car
In the near future, we would have 3 uses for lays
1. eating the chips
2. free bagged oxygen
3. useful covers
Bagged Nitrogen.
The most wonderful thing happened is when onion met sour cream!
Is that a Steven Universe reference?
I love ur stories
"Jobless 11 year old"
A lot of 11 year olds are jobless....
Not in 1920-1930, lol.
Spidey
It’s so,fascinating to know, this story… Humble beings…
So bro went from Pepsi to Lays??? And I love both of them?? Bless his soul
Actually he went back to pepsi at the end, lol
It's drive that seems to be the most common factor in successful business they don't stop at failure they learn from it and move on.
Nothing special about this brand of chips. It's very overrated. One can purchase much better chip brands.
Some will disagree
I use to get layed in my car too
I miss Lays potato chip .. its still hard to find them in Korea 😢
Yup
Order them online. I bet Amazon has them.
We could ship it. Lol
We have Lay's everywhere, here in the Philippines. Frito's - we do not have... 😎
Fun Fact : He made Billions of dollars in less than 30 years
WOW! And I have been trying to buy a house since 1998.😢
Very well liked and appreciated. Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦
So this man is who is responsible for making the best air in the world! What a legend!

In Vietnam go to a super small shop and you will see bags and bags of Lays
🥰 I use to eat, and loved the Frito Lays BBQ corn chips, but they don't make them anymore
They make them in Canada.
I miss the Crunch Tators.
He didn't do anything to survive. He done the RIGHT thing to survive. Criminals are the ones that do anything.
The too salty sodium chips LAYS 😂
Did they expect him to have a job by 11?
Stuff was crazy back then. 1920s were crasy
Yes! Get a job!
If you have a job, then get to work!!!
Makes you wonder why there is not more competition. Most likely because stores have limited self space.
I'm Johnny slimearito and I created Doritos 😂
watching this while eating pringles lol
Now I wants some chips 😂😂😂
YES FINALLY ive been waiting for this one since they are rn currently my 2nd fav chips and my favorite potato chips

Awesome video man. I love how you do these videos, and I was hoping you could start a video on New Flyer Industries, America's best transit bus maker. Thanks a lot!
The boy was born as a great entrepreneur
I preferred Laura Scudder chips over Lays. I love the fritos scoops with cottage cheese.
I laughed when you said `Greased` and that film showed up. Nice one.
I can't believe you're still promoting that scam 🤣.

A lays bag is 60% chips and 40% air
Semoga Lays dan Pepsi bisa kembali berjualan di Indonesia
Bukannya masih ada ya?
Lay's Classic or Ruffles Original take your pick!
Surviving in business through both the great depression and the second world war...wow
This makes you have more spect for these foods
I think
I bought lays, the date was new. There were dead insects in it. The child was poisoned. Where should I complain?😢😢😢😢
We now call them The Classic.
I just finished my packet of lays original chips

Lays / Fritos owns the chip aisle in every grocery store
I loved the Crunch Tators that they used to make. I miss them.
Also lays in turkey, the 20% of making
He saved so many lives by inventing airbags
I prefer Kettles Chilli flavour 😋
ah yes 11 year olds have jobs
factory or the sanctuary
Im eating Lays while watching this
Us UK people are confused as we call “Lays” Walkers Crisps instead
He invented air?!
What I learned from here is, to become a successful businessman, you must outlive your partners. What an eyeopener 👍
Fun Fact: Lay sounds like လေ which means air or wind in Burmese language.
So that's why lays is 75 percent air
Most 11 year olds are jobless.
MOST.
So now herman W.lay was the CEO of Fritos-Lays and PepsiCo, so what even happened to Herman???
I don't know how much life was different in the 1920s but for several decades people couldn't drop out of school until age 16.
Everyone explaining about overpriced air while i can buy a small bag for like 0.1 dollars. Air is still cheaper
First
Bert Lahr started the campaign Becha You Can't Eat Just One tm!that was in 1966.
I worked for W.T. Hawkins the makers of Cheezies in Belleville Ont Canada.
*Eating lays while watching this*
i cant believe he was born when he was only 11
Uh right
Over 200 countries in the 60's (after 1965), that's bit too much my friend !
2:12 Established Depression
there are only 196 countries in the world though so this cant be completely factual
Sold me air for years
I am going to enroll in ballet school and become the biggest ballet dancer of 2023
