superflash

A nice person answered me on another forum and they WERE called PESOS! If I had Google'd Frito-Lay and PESOS I would have found a couple of things about the trademark. I kept trying Frito-Lay and 'round corn chips', 'early 60's.' Would still love to see an image of an old bag or the logo.

Found this pic online...brings back memories of the one we used to go to in Houston in the early 60's. We lived in Post Oak Manor.

I was thinking of the one we used to go to in the early 60's. I found a photo online...I'm not sure where this one was. I was trying to remember the name of these short-lived 'novelty' round corn chips. We were living in Houston in the early 60's and I remember these round corn chips coming out. I'm pretty sure they were from Frito-Lay and they were hyping the novelty of them being round and coin-like. That's I why I seem to recall them having a name like PESOS or CENTAVOS, but I see nothing online. I can literally picture myself at Chuck Wagon (or Chuc Wagun) eating a bag of them with my hot dog. I don't think they lasted long and maybe they were just testing them in that region.
