Inventor of Doritos dies

They're slightly unrelated, but whenever I think of Doritos, I think of the Frito Bandito. My uncle used to sing the Frito Bandito song while we were working. Or anytime he saw any kind of snack chip. So Doritos got the Frito Bandito treatment, Pringles, Fritos of course, you name it. The old dude loved snack chips.

That's fucking funny!
 
If you were to make a pie chart of why everyone is fat "Doritos" would definitely take up a slice.... mmmm.... pie....

I'll take over: "Why is everyone talking about some guy who invented a little snack chip, who no one knows personally, who kicked the bucket?? There are people dying all over the world who deserve more sympathy than this guy!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!"

Done.

I'm getting a Dorito now.

And a Coke...
 
Man, I would have never guessed that Fritos were so old.
 
Everybody cares about this guy dying, but what about the tens of thousands of other tortilla chip inventors that die everyday?

1) Doritos are awesome

2) There's not that many tortilla chip companys. Probably.

3) I know you're kidding.

On a side note, should probably buy myself a bag of Doritos when I do my grocery shopping Wednesday.
 
Could this mean a Dorito shortage now? Did he remember to pass on the recipe? Don't tell me he took it with him???? Im on my way to the grocery store!!!
 
When you put it that way, I'll have whichever snack chip doesn't have an assy mudhole.

You know what, why don't we hold the chips altogether. I'll just have water.

This is the first time I've heard of baked doritos. I shall stop by the store tomorrow.
 
My boss brought this up yesterday, we started exchanging doritos stories. My favorite is when an applicant came in and had a giant bag of doritos in a target bag on her lap. Her excuse? She took public transport and arrived an hour early to the interview so she walked to target which is two businesses over to kill time :lol:
 
Hmm...Doritos stories, okay - I'll bite.

Back in the early 2000s, Olestra was added to Doritos - and a number of other chip-products. For anyone who doesn't know, anything containing Olestra had a warning on the package: "May cause excessive gas and/or anal leakage."

Not a joke. That was the warning.

Anyway, one Thursday night after acting class, our instructor asked a bunch of us what we were doing the next day. Most of us had nothing planned, so he asked who wanted to drive to Atlantic City (from Philadelphia). Everyone went.

Mid-trip at a gas station, Coach (as we called him) bought some Doritos. With Olestra. I knew about the warning, told him about it and he ignored it, laughing. He ate the entire bag. While chasing it with a Coca-Cola or two.

By the time we got to AC, he was ready to pop. "I don't feel so good," he said, as his eyes rolled up into the back of his head.

We hadn't even parked yet, he jumped out of the van and ran into the casino - begging security for a bathroom. A couple of us followed. Out of morbid curiosity? Who knows? I mean, how bad could it really be?

The resulting explosion was the worst sound I've ever heard coming out of another human being. Think of Booger's burp from Revenge of the Nerds, but put it at the other end. Just...louder...and...well, let's just say wetter.

From then on, if he was ever hungry at class, I'd ask him if he wanted some Doritos. I always had some handy - just incase.
 
Obviously he wasn't eating too many Doritos if he lived to be 97. Ohhh!

On a related note, does anyone even know how the guy invented Doritos? Heard that he stole the idea when he was on a trip to Mexico from a little snack cart owner. He took the idea back to the US and got rich!
 
Poor dude, so what is everyones favorite doritos flavor? Mine is Cool Ranch but it smells like feet to me...
