Ruffles is a brand of ruffled (crinkle-cut) potato chips marketed by Dallas-based Frito-Lay since 1961. The Frito Company acquired the rights to Ruffles brand potato chips in 1958 from its creator, Bernhardt Stahmer, who had adopted the trademark in or around 1948.[1] The Frito Company later merged with H.W. Lay & Co. in 1961.[2]

The product is named as an analogy to the ruffle, a strip of fabric sometimes gathered, creating folds. Its longtime official product slogan is "Ruffles Have RRRidges!" The ridged corrugations are designed to create a sturdier, crunchier potato chip less prone to breakage in the bag, as well as standing up to stiffer dips.

Ingredients

Ingredients vary per flavor. The regular ("original") product ingredient list (as well as the reduced fat variant) is: potatoes, vegetable oil (sunflower, corn, and/or canola oil), and salt. They have 160 Calories per 1 ounce serving, 10 grams of fat, 150 milligrams of sodium, 350 milligrams of potassium, and 2 grams of protein.[3]
