According to the article below, Doritos were invented at Disneyland! This is not something I had ever heard before. Cool!
Mexican Dining in Disneyland on Examiner.com.
From the article: "Fritos provided the restaurant with its eponymous corn chips but, needing more to offer guests, outsourced most of the location's food offerings to Anaheim's Alex Foods. It was here then that cooks, reputedly on the advice of a local supplier, began cutting unused tortillas into triangles to be fried and sold as "tortilla chips." The improvised snack proved itself a hit with park patrons, so much so that when the marketing vice president of the newly merged Frito-Lay Co. visited he quickly ordered the tortilla chips to be mass-produced under the name Doritos ("little golden things")."
