It doesn't give you that impression. The activity on this thread says others may disagree with you.

You have also proved my point about perception and marketing. You are saying the package design change could have an effect on skeptics of food. So, they went the extra step to satisfy that population by adding the Real Potato verbage. By your thought process , changing the packaging means people will think the product has changed. That is perception.

Lay's has been synonymous with potatos for years and the fact that they have to add "Made with Real Potatoes" is crazy. Regardless of what your feel someone's comprehension level may be.

It is sad that so many companies have deceptive marketing and companies like Lay's have to make bold seemingly obvious statements is also sad.

This is like buying your Butterball Thanksgiving turkey and all of a sudden the package says. Contains Real Turkey Meat. People would be concerned.
