ummm....tortilla chips and corn chips are different products (at least in the US). Tortilla chips are actually made from corn tortillas, such as Tostitos, while corn chips are of the Fritos variety

Then you should probably fix the article, for those of us who don't consume the mass-market brands and wouldn't know a Tostito from a Frito if we bit one. ;) - toh 20:41, 2004 Dec 9 (UTC)

Was the tortilla chip really invented in the 1940s? I remember reading an encyclopedia of Amerindian contributions were it read that they were eaten by mesoamerican and southwest cultures. I'll try to look it up but I may need some help.--Manny 15:22, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Totopos

Called "totopos" in commercial marketing - is that within Mexico? because here in the US I have a bag of Tostitos and it says "Tostitos brand tortilla chips". Kuronue 20:22, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
