Sun Chips
The introduction of Sun Chips was a direct result of Frito-Lay searching for a healthier option for the baby boomers generation who are seeking healthier and “better-for-you” options when it comes to everyday snacks. This snack chip was specially designed to provide a healthier alternative to corn and potato chips and offer a whole grain/wheat option. Since Sun Chips were developed as a healthier option for consumers, they were also advertised as such:
• For people who care about what they eat,
• Natural flavors and natural great tasting grains,
• They make you smarter,
• A combination of great taste, great crunch, and natural goodness, and
• The Sun Chips name portrayed a positive consumer image and suggested that the product was “wholesome, great tasting, light, distinctive, and fun.”
