if you are lost in the woods in the rain, and need to build a fire, a bag of Fritos makes amazingly good kindling.

The oil in the Fritos burns for ages, enough to dry out some sticks and get the fire going.

Agreed. Fritos make for excellent fire starter.

So I heard from my son, the Scout.

Motor oil is motor oil.

But then your fire smells like feet? (Fritos smell like feet to me)

I will have to try this. If it works I will pass it on to my BSA troop.

Ah...so that's one of the reasons they taste so good.

Are we discussing a pie made with Frito brand corn chips?

The foil side of larger bags also works well to deflect government mind control radio waves. It’s water proof too.

Potato chips have more oil than Fritoes. Cheetos have even more that potato chips.
