What do you know about Frito Lay?
Do some research on the company before your interview. Read up on the company history they cover on their website. Familiarize yourself with who their CEO is, who they replaced as CEO, and where they are headquartered. Anything they advertise with pride is worth familiarizing yourself with before your interviewer. Look at it as if you are confident you'll get hired for the job and have taken it upon yourself to start your orientation and onboarding early for a good head start. This will advertise a strong work ethic and set you up as a desirable candidate.
"In 1932, Herman W. Lay began his own potato chip business in Nashville by delivering snack foods. Not long after, Mr. Lay purchased the manufacturer and formed H.W. Lay & Company. The company became one of the largest snack food companies in the Southeast. In 1961, H.W. Lay & Company merged with the Frito Company, becoming FritoLay, Inc. In 1965, Frito-Lay, Inc. merged with PepsiCola to form PepsiCo." As of the time of this writing, Frito-Lay, the convenience foods business unit of PepsiCo North America, is headquartered in Plano, TX, and has an annual revenue of 13 billion.
"The company was first started in 1932 and grew and grew since then, merging with PepsiCola later. Now, their the biggest and best snack and drink company ever. I also know they call it the Pepsi Challenge, not the Coca-Cola Challenge. I've always been more of a Pepsi person. Fun fact."
"I know several fun facts. For example, Doritos chips were invented in Disneyland at the Frito restaurant, which served U.S. patrons several Mexican food dishes. Mexican food was not so common in the U.S. back then, and for many, this was their first exposure to such cuisine. The mascot for Frito's was originally the Frito Kid, who has an animatronic form in the restaurant that would come to life and give you a bag of Fritos for a nickel."
