Charles Elmer Doolin introduced the corn chip to the world with Fritos. Doolin paid $100 for the recipe for corn chips served with his lunch at a gas station in San Antonio, Texas. Mr. Doolin met a Mexican man making corn chips and selling little bags of the fried corn chips. He originally called them Fritatos that he would later change to Fritos.
