The man who invented Doritos—as much as something based on the tortilla chip, which has probably existed since cavemen first boiled mastodon fat, can be invented—has departed this earth at 97 years old. His (great) name: Arch West.

At the October 1 graveside service in Dallas, his family plans on "tossing Doritos chips in before they put the dirt over the urn."
