Frito-Lay Fritos Corn Chips were first distributed in 1961, but Elmer Doolin started the Frito brand years before. When he first started selling the home-cooked snack in the early 30's, he took home a daily profit of $2. Today the many flavors make up a $100 million brand.
Now, to puzzles. Although crosswords are the most popular, there are all kinds of puzzles: jigsaws, logic puzzles, sudoku, and more. There are educational puzzles for various school levels. You could order a custom-made wooden jigsaw.
I used to use jigsaws to relax. Maybe I should celebrate this day with a jigsaw and a bag of Fritos.

I keep meeting up with jigsaws lately - in catalogues, mentioned my friends & family, now in this post Vicki. Pete and I live in a small apartment and have to use a folding table for posh eating and my papercrafting. What we need to buy is one of those folding jigsaw boards...we must, yes.
Happy National Puzzle Day - enjoy the Fritos.
Hi, Shirl,
I know what you mean. I no longer have that table or any table fit for puzzling. I don't know if those folding boards work.
The papercrafting sounds interesting.
That would make an interesting way to have a day with a difference. An assortment of puzzles, crisps (as they are known in the UK) and everything else can go hang. That's what I call self-indulgent enjoyment; but did you do it?
I like corn chips, but my wife doesn't. But we agree on one thing. We do the anagram puzzle from our local paper, daily. Lots of fun.
