I guess it pays to read the fine print - FRITOS "lights" corn chips aren't really "lite." A "serving" of "lights" has as many calories, and everything (except small differences in sodium and potassium) as FRITOS "Regular Size" corn chips. The difference is, each "light" chip weighs less than a "Regular Size" chip. Hey, now I know why they float out of the bag and pile up on the ceiling like that! Any "TRUTH STRETCHERS" you'd like to share? Reply by mail. If I get enough interesting response, I'll post a summary.

Recommended reading, when you come across copies of Consumer Reports, is
the column "Selling It", which is compiled from information sent by
readers.
