I think these here were somehow made by Bill Gates from the taste

I can't tell you how many of those fried chicken dinners I ate. I can still remember the rehydrated potatoes (ugh), the apple slices that were too sweet and never cooled off below 500 degrees (OUCH!), and the icky succotash (because I hate cooked carrots). The chicken was OK, though. Why did I eat those? Oh, yeah, it was "easy." :giggle:

The only thing that would have made that better was ice cream in those frosty mugs of A&W! :)

Who remembers this guy

I LOVED the Frito Bandito! I sang his song every time the commercial came on, and sometimes, when it didn't, LOL! My mom thought I was crazy. "Munch, munch, munchabuncha Fritos corn chips...."


There were so many good old commercials back then. Not a drug commercial in sight, either.

Bonus points if you know who the voice actor was.

I love Fritos, Fritos & bean dip, Fritos on soup, Frito pie. They were first made here in San Antonio, and were NOT a division of Pepsico. I don't think the factory is here anymore. I do remember when GMO started to invade corn crops, some testing was done by a curious third party, and no GMO corn was detected in Fritos. I do not know if that's still true, but in response, a FritoLay spokesperson said corn for the product was chosen for texture and flavor, nothing else, and that cost was not the greatest consideration.

I could munchabunch all day.

Oh, I loved Fritos, too. They were like a food group! Those and Corn Nuts, remember those? I couldn't get enough of them. I don't eat anything with corn in it now, because I found out it was causing me severe joint pain, so no more Fritos, no more Doritos, no more fresh sweet corn on the cob with butter... but you know what? It's OK because I love having no joint pain more than I miss having corn. :)
