Following a six-week standoff between juggernaut snack company Frito-Lay and Canadian grocery titan Loblaw Companies, the dust has finally settled with an agreement between the two parties.

The dispute started in late February, with Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, wanting to hike its prices and Loblaw halting shipments to its stores as a result.
