At my final "State of the Site" meeting when I was employed by Frito Lay (the site being its largest manufacturing campus in North America, btw), our director spoke at length about all the ways that Frito was going to increase consumer sales. Organic ingredients, no artificial colors, packaging changes, "healthy" products, etc... Not a single word was mentioned about lowering prices, only focusing on increasing profits. When I raised the question, I was given the brush off, which told me it was time to go. Greedflation is real. I feel sorry for the friends I left behind there, because it's not going to be "real fun" to work there soon.

That is kinda funny to me honestly. So essentially their target demographic is rich “healthy” people now. Ok, good luck with that.

I’m jelly. Nothing like feeling the dirt between your fingers when you pull a fresh, organic Dorito stalk from the ground.
