Why Frito Lay?
This question will help your interviewer understand whether you want to specifically work for them rather than trying to find any job anywhere. How you answer this question will also help them determine whether you see yourself as a good fit for their company and their company as a good fit for you. Your interviewer is only interested in hiring those candidates who have the potential to work with the company for the long term, as opposed to someone who didn't want to work for them but just needed a job and a paycheck. Lastly, if you see this job as a good mutual fit, how you answer could inform them which of their recruiting efforts are paying off.
