Mezmos

Mezmos is a brand of flavored potato chips manufactured by Frito-Lay. Introduced in the United States in the early 2000s, Mezmos were notable for their unique shapes and bold flavor combinations. Unlike traditional potato chips, Mezmos were typically cut into wavy, ridged, or sometimes even spiral shapes, designed to provide a different textural experience and hold more seasoning.

The brand aimed to offer a more adventurous snacking option, moving beyond classic flavors like plain or barbecue. Early varieties included options such as "Sweet Chili," "Spicy Ranch," and "Zesty Nacho," which combined familiar taste profiles with a heightened level of spice or tang. The packaging often featured vibrant colors and energetic graphics to reflect the bold nature of the product.

Mezmos were marketed towards a younger demographic seeking exciting and flavorful snacks. While the product line saw some popularity upon its release, the specific varieties and overall presence of Mezmos in the market have varied over the years. Frito-Lay occasionally updates its product offerings and sometimes discontinues or reintroduces specific lines based on consumer demand and market trends. The brand's distinctive shapes and flavor profiles set it apart from other chip options available.
