Yes. Not all tortillas are made from corn. Not all chips are made from tortillas.

Apparently Tostitos makes a flour tortilla chip

If by 'corn chips' you mean Frito's and its imitators those are made with a thick corn meal, and don't start out as tortillas. (But, yes, it's just another variation of basically the same ingredients. Like most Ameri-Mex food)

So, my contention about the old Toasted Corn Doritos is that they had a flavor distinct from say, Tostitos, which are also fried corn tortillas. They are similar, but not identical, and its those old school plain Doritos I crave when I eat guacamole.

I too remember when Nacho Cheese Doritos was a new twist on the standard chip.

I did the same just recently, and they just tasted super-salty to me. It was one of those nostalgia trips I won't need to take again.

I like coming here. Yes, I'm far too young.

Went to the park tonight. Saw a group of 4 gentlemen (2 "younger", probably my age and 2 "older") dressed in nice suits. At least a couple had bow ties. I got behind them in the entry gate line, heard one of the younger ones relaying Disney "trivia"*. I then saw the same one pull out a Club33 card as his pass. Inside, I saw another group of people also dressed very formally. And later a third group. Me thinks something was up at Club33 tonight.






* I put "trivia" in quotes for a reason. The first thing I heard him say was the old story of Walt walking the park and whenever he'd see a few pieces of trash on the ground in the same location he'd tell facilities to add a trash can. Legit trivia. Then he said, "Here's a fun fact. When they were building Pirates of the Caribbean they had all the skeletons made from fake bones. But they didn't like the way they looked. So they went to UCLA or USC and got real bones to make all the skeletons out of. Later they got better at making fake bones, but there are 2 skeletons that are still real." o.0

I believe it was the 45th anniversary of the club today, and there was a party. A friend on FB attended.

I believe I heard the skull on the headboard of the bed was real. Never knew if that was true, though your story makes it plausible.

Really? You find it plausible that Disney could just go to UCLA and pick up 15 or so human skeletons for an amusement park ride?

I have no idea of the accuracy of it (Imagineers are just as susceptible to folklore as the rest of us), but Imagineer Jason Surrell seems to be the source of the story in his book Pirates of the Caribbean: From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies.

I don't necessarily find the idea of real bone skeletons that hard to believe. They aren't actually that difficult to get your hands on and I imagine it was probably much easier in the '60s than now (India used to be the main supplier of them but they banned export of human bones in the '80s, China did the same about a decade ago).

The part I find harder to accept is that when done with them they'd actually be returned to countries of origin for burial.
