    About Hot Cheetos

    • 424 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Cheetos were invented in the 1948 by Fritos creator Charles Elmer Doolin, who cooked early test batches in the Frito Company's Dallas, Texas-based research and development kitchen. The cheese-flavored snack sold quickly, but Doolin did not have the production or distribution capacity to support a nationwide launch. This led Doolin to partner with potato chip businessman Herman W. Lay for marketing and distribution, and Cheetos were introduced nationally in the U.S. in 1948 along with a potato product called Fritatos.[2] The success of Cheetos prompted Doolin and Lay to merge their two companies in 1961, forming Frito-Lay Inc.[3] At the time, Cheetos was one of four large snack food brands produced by the company, which had annual revenues of $127 million.[4] Frito-Lay merged with the Pepsi-Cola Company to form PepsiCo in 1965, prompting further distribution of Cheetos outside of North America.[5]…

    The competition that challenged Frito – Lay was none other than Wise, Pringles, and Chipos. Wise because they had been around since the 1920’s, and Pringles and Chips because these chips were made from mashed or dehydrated potatoes and shaped into a uniformed shape that could be stacked inside of a can or packaged in a box. They had several advantages over the regular potato chips: one advantage was that their packaging made them less fragile, the second advantage was that their packaging was less bulky and easier to ship, and the third advantage was that they could be made and shipped in on location. The main advantage of these two competitors were that they were backed by two product giants, Pringles by Proctor & Gamble Company and Chipos by General Mills, Inc. Frito – Lay also had other competitors in other snack categories, such as Nabisco, Inc. with Mister Salty pretzels and Standard Brands, Inc. with Planters…

    In the 1980s Frito Lay had difficulty perfecting the healthier alternative to a snack chip. After releasing their product Prontos in 1947, which was a multigrain product, which did not last on the market for long, Frito Lay was on a hunt to create the perfect multigrain chip that consumers considered an everyday chip. There were many reasons why Prontos failed and those were factors that Frito Lay made sure to steer away from the second time around. The biggest problem facing Frito Lay in the late 1980s was how they can perfect the multigrain chip in every aspect, along with testing the market properly, along with nailing every aspect of the marketing plan. This included product strategy, pricing strategy, advertising and merchandising strategy, distribution and sales strategy, along with other considerations to be taken into account. Following off of this, deciding whether to launch the Sun Chips product line, or let the line continue to say in the test-market stage to gain more insight on the product and the market is another factor the company is faced with.…
