Doritos are a type of seasoned corn chip produced by Frito Lay - originally at Disneyland in an attempt to find new uses for stale tortillas. Originally created in 1967, they're been sold worldwide in too many flavors to count.

Personally, I don't care for them.

The book actually did get really popular in English-speaking society at the time for its comedy value; Mark Twain heaped praise on it for its "idiotic genius" and wrote the foreword for all further republishings. It's as close as you can get to 19th century viral media.

So I wouldn't be surprised at all if it were the inspiration for the Hungarian-English phrasebook sketch :v:

Well those huge ones live at the bottom of the ocean but you can sometimes find a pretty big one hanging out in the mouth of a fish.
