Random Memorial for Monday 10/10/11

Gone but not forgotten: the industry titan we recently lost.

I'll admit that his products weren't the ones that I would choose in the marketplace. That point aside, there is no denying that his innovations made many people's lives different since 1964. Season after season, new items were introduced, changing the way that we as people interacted -- particularly at parties (for me, personally, while watching awards shows or at any Super Bowl I viewed in a private home). He nearly revolutionized the advertising industry, and with billions of dollars in sales, it was always with anticipation that we would await the next iteration -- you can see 102 of them in the link below.

Arch West, founder of Doritos, dead at 97 and buried in Dallas TX on October 1st, you will be missed.
