Additions/revisions[edit]

The following are some ideas for this article. I'm not available most of the time to do these sorts of things, but if nobody updates the article in the near future, I may take a crack at it.

Check for additional flavors not listed on their website. Possibly include introduction dates for flavors, if possible.
Include nutritional information. If said information varies by flavor, at least the 'original' flavor should be posted.
Include pictures of product and packaging for flavors.
Remove some ambiguity. "Lay's Stax are known for being very similar to Pringles." is a good example. Perhaps at least a citation of a reputable source comparing them? Another example is the 'Pringles vs Stax' article. It could be laid out in a less offhand manner. However, I also agree with a previous poster that this section could be deleted.
The introductory paragraph is extremely personal and does not contain some material that would sum up the article more appropriately.

Flavors[edit]

I need someone to check on the flavors section as some of them I doubt they are real flavors of this brand as I never seen them before and they are not in the Lays website --Jaranda(^{watz sup}) 19:19, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

See [1]. Ajm81 19:23, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Lay's website only lists cheddar, salt and vinegar, original, mesquite barbecue, ranch, and sour cream and onion. ^[1] Mattosaurus (talk) 14:40, 4 May 2009 (UTC)mattosaurus[reply]

More flavors exist now. Though not listed on their website, I have personally seen a Hot and Spicy BBQ variant, presumably modeled after their standard chips of the same name. http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-lays-stax-hotn-spicy-barbecue-i128823 --PrincessWilly (talk) 13:14, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gluten / no gluten[edit]

"Stax are also gluten free, while Pringles contain wheat starch.[citation needed]"

According to the can I have to my right, Pringles do indeed contain wheat starch. According to the nutrition information on Frito-lay's website at http://www.fritolay.com/fl/flstore/cgi-bin/products_laysstax.htm, all of the listed flavors do not contain any sort of wheat stuff, thus no gluten. I can remove the 'citation' tag, obviously, but am not sure how to put in the citation as requested... --192.76.82.89 04:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Starch isn't gluten though, I think the wording wrongly suggests Pringles contain gluten. According to the ingredients page on Tesco's, Pringles (at least original flavour) are "gluten free". Even foods that aren't made with nuts have disclaimers that they may contain them though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.41.198.70 (talk) 05:45, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison with Pringles[edit]

This section appears tilted against Pringles, in terms of its breakability and also the recycle-friendliness of its packs. There is some scope for attaining neutrality —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shreyas.subbaraya (talk • contribs) 16:11, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited out a few words that were biased, i.e. that Pringle cans cannot be recycled very well. I also added a heading for the Stax vs. Pringles "debate." Mattosaurus (talk) 14:43, 4 May 2009 (UTC)mattosaurus[reply]

IMO, the section should be deleted. |bibboorton| (talk) 17:06, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article is an ad.[edit]

Wikipedia is not free ad space, and this article is nothing more than an ad for Lay's Stax. I removed some blatant advertisement from the article, but I think more can be done. We should include information on nutritional value, production, and history rather than a comparison with Pringles, a.k.a. why you should Stax are better than Pringles.

Made in Mexico?[edit]

The citation that Stax products are made in Mexico points only to a comment made on a blog post. While the can in my hand says it was made in Mexico, that may be true only in some places. I doubt Stax consumed in China come from Mexico. Can we find a better source? StreamingRadioGuide (talk) 01:11, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
