I still remember the old commercial when I was growing up for Fritos Corn Chips. Just the other day I was singing the song in the car, “Aye, Yi, Yi, Yii. I am the Frito Bandito. I love Frito’s Corn Chips, I Love them I do. I love Frito’s Corn Chips, I take them from you!”
Frito Bandito Is a Legend
Ok, that is sad that I remember that, but it goes to show you that good advertising songs can last a lifetime! For those of you who are close to my age, you may remember that song, but the reason I brought that up was because it made me crave a Frito Bandito Salad.
