Tostitos is a Frito-Lay brand of tortilla chips and accompanying dips, especially salsa and queso. Frito-Lay first introduced the brand in some markets in 1977. Its nationwide rollout occurred in 1981. The bowl-shaped variety of Tostitos Scoops was launched in June 2001.
The term tostito is a contraction of Spanish tostadito, which is a diminutive of tostado. This chip takes inspiration from a traditional Mexican snack known as totopo. From Wikipedia
