There is a talk of town that chips made by "Lays" Company is not good for muslim consumption because it is made by "PORK FAT". Can any one please confirm if it is right or wrong.

Adey thanks from explanation. Now I get it the connection between Lays and Walkers.

I always preferred Golden Wonder instead of Walkers.. :)

from wiki

"In the 1880s Henry Walker moved from Mansfield to Leicester to take over an established butcher's shop in the high street. Meat rationing after World War II saw the factory output drop dramatically and the company looked at alternatives to make use of the wasted capacity. With potato crisps being increasingly popular with the public, managing director R.E. Gerrard helped the company shift focus and began hand-slicing and frying potatoes."

For some time Walkers were rebranded as 'Smiths' crisps before once again returning to the name 'Walkers'

They were bought later by Frito-Lays.

That's the official story...

The crisps / chips actually are coated with aphrodisiacs allowing males to take advantage of their partners.. Hence the name....

In 1932, C.E. Doolin entered a small San Antonio cafe and purchased a bag of corn chips. Little did he dream this savory chip would become one of the nation's most popular snacks.

Mr. Doolin learned that the manufacturer of the chips was eager to sell his small business, so he purchased the recipe, and began to sell FRITOS®

Corn Chips from his Model T Ford.

Meanwhile, that same year, Herman W. Lay began his potato chip business in Nashville by delivering snack foods. Not long after, Mr. Lay purchased the manufacturer, and the H.W. Lay & Company was formed.

Even the water we drink here is distilled using pork fat and pepsi is just liquated pure pork. In the west they feed cows and chickens with pigs and them ship them to Muslim countries on Israeli ships
