West would try the chips and instantly loved them and saw that they had the potential to be big. He saw that the restaurant was incredibly busy and that they were selling numerous bags of chips. One day in the early 1960s, the vice president of Frito-Lay named Archibald(Archie) West paid a visit to Casa de Fritos. They loved the taste of the fried tortilla chips and making their own packages to re-sell them. The Casa de Fritos kitchen workers liked the idea and they began saving the stale tortilla chips and frying them. This was so that the restaurant wouldn’t lose money on throwing out old tortillas and instead make a profit. Instead, save them, cut them up, add seasoning and fry them. When this salesman saw this, he suggested to the workers that they don’t throw away the stale tortillas. He noticed that some kitchen workers were throwing out some state tortillas. One day at Casa de Fritos, a sales rep from Alex Foods was at the restaurant during a food drop off. This business partnership would unknowingly be how Doritos were created. Casa de Fritos also had a deal with local food distributor Alex Foods to supply the restaurant’s tortillas. The restaurant was named “Casa de Fritos”(Now Rancho Del Zocalo)and it would be a popular ethnic food choice in the theme park. It would be Mexican themed and located in the Frontierland section of the park. In 1955, Frito-Lay struck a deal with Disney to open a restaurant in their theme park in Anaheim, California.

“He has forbidden you only the Maitah (dead animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah (or has been slaughtered for idols, on which Allah’s Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). “So eat of that (meat) upon which Allah’s name has been mentioned, if you are believers in His verses” (Holy Quran 6:118) The consumption of pork, non zabiha meats and their by products are strictly prohibited in Islam.
