Ruffles
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Ruffles is the name of a brand of ruffled (crinkle-cut) potato chips produced by Lay's potato chips, a division of Frito-Lay. The Frito Company acquired the rights to Ruffles brand potato chips in 1958. It later merged with H.W. Lay & Co. in 1961. [1]
The product is named as an analogy to the ruffle, a strip of fabric sometimes gathered, creating folds. Its longtime official product slogan is "RRRuffles Have Ridges!" The ridged corrugations are designed to create a sturdier, crunchier potato chip less prone to breakage in the bag, as well as standing up to stiffer dips.
Ingredients
Ingredients vary per flavor. The regular ("original") product ingredient list (as well as the reduced fat variant) is: potatoes, vegetable oil (sunflower, corn, and/or canola oil), salt.
