The Original Corn Chip

Today, January 29^th, is National Corn Chip Day! Who’s ready to celebrate the Corn Chip?

In 1932, C.E. Doolin entered a small San Antonio cafe and purchased a bag of corn chips. Little did he dream this savory chip would become one of the nation's most popular snacks.

Did You Know? Fritos Corn Chips were first marketed in 1961. That year the Frito Company and the H.W. Lay company merged to become Frito-Lay, Inc. Today, Frito-Lay brands account for 59% of the U.S. snack chip industry.

Fifty years ago, few Americans knew what Corn Chips were. Today, most American can not imagine life without this tasty, crunchy holder of salsa.
