About Lay's 2021 Mood Match Food Packaging
Lay's 2021 Mood Match is a limited edition snack food packaging series created for an exclusive social media giveaway. The set includes four designs inspired by mood rings, each linked to positive memories and emotions. The stated intent is to invigorate a sense of energy or to offer a sense of comfort. Each design is matched to a flavor and a feeling: gratitude for Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup, optimism for Cappuccino, feistiness for Chili and cheerfulness for Salted Caramel. The packaging offers a short break from daily reality.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- When designing their year-end limited-edition packaging for an exclusive social media giveaway, Lay’s decided to create four mood-ring inspired designs, linked to positive memories and emotions in hopes of invigorating a sense of energy or inducing a sense of comfort among Lay’s fans. With that in mind, Lay’s 2021 Mood Match focused on flavors that would inspire gratitude (Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup), optimism (Cappuccino), feistiness (Chili) or cheerfulness (Salted Caramel).
- Inspiration
- With so many significant challenges in 2020, including those caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic, Lay’s wanted to give their consumers a quick break from reality as we looked ahead with hope to 2021. With Lay’s 2021 Mood Match, ultimately the Lay’s brand was able to find a fun and innovative way to create a moment for consumers to unwrap their silver lining, focus on the future, and embrace a little joy as they looked ahead to a new year.
