Have you ever wondered how things get named? Like Doritos. WTF? Or Cheetos. Or Fritos. I believe all of those come from the same company. Somebody got on a serious 'OS kick. I'm imaging a large room full of .... what do you call the peeps who name shit? name-maker-uppers? Ok so there's a room of name-maker-uppers and someone says (of doritos).... 'diamond chips!' (yes, the exclamation mark cause you know they'd be excited cause they thought it up). Some other name-maker-upper - 'no, no, zesty chips!' And then there's always that one person who comes up with the dorky shit who will eventually get demoted to thinking up cereal names cause he or she says, 'dragon's breath'. And of course that just starts a land slide of bickering because the person who came up with dragon's breath is pissed cause they're always being ignored and everyone else thinks they are stupid. I'm sure you can see the snow ball there too (hence the demotion). So I see it happening two ways... one... out of the fighting, bickering chaos comes a slight voice that says 'Doritos'. And suddenly the room goes silent. Everyone nods, grabs their laptops and coffee cups and goes home... or.... and this is my bet.... everyone's fighting and they're out of time so the next day the boss comes in and asks for the name and someone just panics and blurts out 'DORITOS'!!!!! I'd say it went pretty much the same way for Fritos and cheetos. Now I'm wondering who makes Tostidos. Hmmmmm
