Most of the way through bag #3 and I just noticed they’re not calling these “tortilla chips” anymore…

    maybe it’s to distinguish from all the other funky shaped tortilla chips you can get these days? like, there’s ones that are little strips, or whole round tiny tortillas, or weird little bowl shapes.

      I had this thought, too. In fact, other bags of Tostitos seem to back that theory up with the names on each bag.

      Restaurant Style, Bite Size Rounds, Flavored Triangles, Thin & Crispy, Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn, Crispy Rounds, their own trademarked “Scoops!” and so on.

      There’s even “Lightly Salted” that says “50% Less Sodium than Tostitos Original Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips.

      The Original Restaurant Style may not say “Tortilla Chips” directly on the front, but the Lightly Salted bag definitely says that Original Restaurant Style are tortilla chips.

      EDIT: I think you’re 100% correct, actually.
