Worked for a cheese company, then in the military, then invented Doritos while working for Frito Lay. His kids are going to sprinkle doritos in his grave. It always says he grew up in a "Masonic home" after his dad died. Whats that?

I am eating Doritos in his memory. God Bless this genius!

I think a masonic home is a nicer way of saying retirement home.

Masonic Homes are institutions that help and assist those in need and are usually A. Founded by Free Masons, and usually, B. An institution who is set up to assist only those who can prove Masonic family involvement and sometimes only to Masons of a certain status. I believe the Indiana Masonic Home is actually open to all peoples and is an assisted living facility now, but I am sure at the time of his childhood, was a refuge for the Masonic peoples, child and adult alike.

That paragraph is based on what little Free Mason establishments I know of. If it is completely wrong and way off base I apologize. I was to lazy to Google-fu.

I'll have to go buy a bag of Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos in his memory.

I grew up on the Nacho Cheese Doritos! I freakin loved those things and could not get enough. Cool Ranch Doritos oh yeah!

I swear they changed something in them a few years ago cause they don't taste quite the same

RIP and thanks for a great chip!
