Fritos
Fritos came to be in 1932. They were invented by 29-year-old Charles Elmer Doolin, who just so happened to be the one who would invent Cheetos 16 years later. Doolin was on a mission to create a corn-based snack that wouldn’t go stale quickly. He ended up buying the recipe from a San Antonio man who came up with a way to extrude corn masa into hot oil. Fritos are now very popular in Mexico. That’s the only place you can get your hands on flavors like chile-lime and chorizo-and-chipotle.
