Doritos Creator Art West Dead at 97 178
The creator of Doritos has died in Dallas at age 97. Despite being the bane of keyboards and mouse wheels, Art West's famous snacks have become a staple in the geek diet. Doritos officially arrived in the U.S. in 1964 and has since expanded to 23 flavors. Art's Daughter Jana Hacker told The Dallas Morning News that the family plans on "tossing Doritos chips in before they put the dirt over the urn."

Well, I guess he had to cash in his chips eventually.
Thanks for the flavors, sir!

Are the Dorito's he's buried in merely symbolic, or do they also perform some sort of preservative function as well?
