Lays Summer Days promotion puts your fav summer photo on a bag of Chips

Lay's potato chips, one of the marquee brands from PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division, today kicked off its "Lay's Summer Days" campaign – encouraging fans to create custom digital bags of Lay's potato chips featuring photos of their favorite summer moments. To further add to the summer fun, thousands of lucky fans also will receive a real-life customized bag of Lay's Classic potato chips featuring their photo – offering consumers personalized packaging for the first time in the brand's history.

Starting today through July 4, 2015, fans can visit www.lays.com to experience the Lay's Summer Bag Creator. The interactive tool allows fans to upload a summer photo, caption it and receive a digital version of a Lay's potato chips bag featuring their photo to share with family and friends on social media. The first 10,000 approved submissions also will be created as real-life bags of Lay's potato chips and sent to consumers to enjoy this summer.
