Tostitos

A "ready-to-eat" nacho tray of Tostitos.

Tostitos is a brand of tortilla chips produced by Frito-Lay and introduced in 1979, with national distribution reached in 1981. They are made from all-white corn with no trans fat. Traditionally, Tostitos chips contain no extra flavoring or preservatives, and thus are advertised to be suited for dipping. Chips are about 1 ⅓ of an inch in diameter, and are often eaten with salsa or nacho cheese dip. Recently the traditional corn chip has been enhanced by the addition of a "hint" of lime.

There are several varieties of Tostitos:

Tostitos Gold - a thicker and larger version of the original, advertised to hold the thickest of dips.
Tostitos Hint of Lime - a version with a lime flavoring added.
Tostitos Multigrain - made with whole wheats and grains.
Tostitos Restaurant Style - A much larger triangular style chip, similar to what is used in traditional Mexican-style restaurants.
Tostitos Scoops - a molded tortilla chip that allows for scooping salsas and dips.

Frito-Lay also produces Doritos, a similar snack food that includes flavouring.
