The Flamin' Hot Brand Branches Off to Perform Standalone

— March 27, 2024 — Marketing
The Flamin' Hot brand branches out to be its own standalone brand after being a part of the PepsiCo Frito-Lay umbrella. The iconic red spicy snack is known for its addictive taste and crunch, but now it is breaking out to be in the spotlight all on its own. As a part of this, Flamin' Hot gets a makeover and a visual update that features 25 spicy options.

This includes crunchy chip snacks and mac and cheese dishes. Some familiar options include the Flamin' Hot Cheetos, Doritos, and the Funyuns. The new array is designed with a slightly darker palette, taking a black base foundation to allow the bright red hues to stand out instead.
