not just some randomly made-up name—and it has sort of blown up into this international chip empire over the years. Which, fine, I get it. Chips are addictively delicious. But this is where it gets interesting. The Lay’s logo? It is not just a nice little sunny badge for potato chips. It’s also a not-so-subtle hint to their parent company, Frito-Lay.

If you take a good look at the Lay’s logo—or, you know, stare at it longer than half a second—you will start to see that it is not just some random happy circle with white letters on top. That yellow orb in the background? That is not just random design filler. It’s almost a carbon copy of the big round sun shape from the Frito-Lay logo. Not totally the same, but the vibe is similar enough.
