For a state that knows how to snack—whether it’s during a Mardi Gras parade or a Saints game—this news feels personal. Take a look below at the Frito-Lay snacks we’ll be saying goodbye to in Louisiana and what you can do to prepare.


When Will These Snacks Be Gone?

Frito-Lay hasn’t provided an exact date, but industry sources suggest that the discontinuations will roll out starting in January 2025. If one of your favorite snacks is on this list, now’s the time to visit your local grocery store and stock up.


How Will This Impact Louisiana?

For Louisianians, snacks are more than just treats—they’re part of Louisiana's culture. Whether it’s a bag of chips at a crawfish boil or something to munch on during a Saints tailgate, these snacks have been staples at many local gatherings. The loss of these products could leave a noticeable gap in snack aisles across the state.

On the bright side, Frito-Lay often introduces new and exciting products to replace discontinued ones. While it’s sad to say goodbye, this change could bring fresh flavors that quickly become new Louisiana favorites.

15 Discontinued Snack Chips In 2025

Frito-Lay makes some of the most popular snacks in America, and it seems that every year, they introduce new twists on their top brands that feature unique flavors.

It can be fun to venture out of your comfort zone and try new things and those new things can sometimes become new favorites. However, there is no guarantee that the new snacks will stick around for very long, which can be disappointing.

Sporked recently uncovered 15 snacks that Frito-Lay plans on discontinuing in 2025, and they include some of my favorites. If some of your favorites are on this list, you better stock up if you still see them on store shelves and enjoy them while you can.

Perhaps if fans of snacks being discontinued protest, Frito-Lay will change its mind.
