In 1961, or so we are told, Arch West came upon his first fried tortilla chip. Three years later, the company he worked for, Frito-Lay, rolled out Doritos. West died last week in Dallas at the age of 97. But what he gave us, for better and for worse, will be around for a very long time. For no matter how many unhealthy ingredients might be found inside a Dorito (remember the Onion headline, “Doritos Celebrates One Millionth Ingredient”?), it’s just too good to resist. Indeed, I was reminded of a passage from Lisa DePaulo’s essay in GQ about the National Guardsmen assigned to watch Saddam Hussein after his capture.
