Arch West creator of Doritos will take his chips to the grave.
In the we can't make this shit up category, we now bring you news of the tragic death of Arch West, who at 97 kicked the bucket in Dallas.

West's claim to fame? He's credited with being the creator of Frito-Lay's Doritos, the favorite snack food of college-aged stoners everywhere.

Here's where we enter bizarro world. According to the Dallas Morning News (a real newspaper, as far as we can tell), West's family plans to sprinkle the gravesite with Doritos.



​No word yet whether pot-addicted zombies with a bad case of postapocalypse munchies will prowl the cemetery after the funeral party leaves... but we're kinda hoping it to happen.

Speaking of Doritos, here are two videos where humans are total Dorito-eating morons and animals get the upper hand. Sort of like live-action Looney Tunes cartoons. Enjoy.
