on May 22, 2020
Frito-Lay’s has announced that their Bar-B-Q flavored corn chips are back again for a limited time due to popular demand. The resurrected snack was previously discontinued back in 2018 after having been in production for nearly 80 years.

A Frito-Lay rep confirmed to Best Products,
“It will be available in 1-ounce bags (two for $1) and 9.25-ounce bags ($3.99) And exclusively sold at Dollar General stores.”
Unfortunately, the Bar-B-Q flavor will only around for a limited time so stock up now or pay upwards of $50 a bag on Ebay.
The flavor is back in stores as part of a fundraising campaign for a non-profit called Carry the Load. This organization is dedicated to honoring and supporting veterans in a variety of ways including funding other veteran programs. Up to $200,000 of the sales from these specially marked bags of Fritos will be donated to Carry the Load. The bags will have patriotic packaging and are here just in time for Memorial Day.
For Frito fans who can’t bear to have their crunchy snack taken away again, there is a petition to bring it back for good.
