More On The Mile and The Official Snack Food of the Group

The Mile Run has gotten a boost lately because of the 60th anniversary of Sir Roger's feat.  So it is fitting that we all pile on and try to right an injustice that was done by Jimmy Carter's Administration back in the 70's.  The 1,600M and 3,200M Runs are an abomination.

This says it better than I can:

Why the Mile is Dead (and Worth Saving)

And the official snack food of PSU Track Alumni Golf is Doritos.  Why, you ask?  Because I said so.  So, shut up and enjoy the neon orange crisp of the gods.  And we have Walt Disney (and a few others) to thank for our cheesy delights.

In 1955, not long after Disneyland opened in Anaheim, California, the Frito-Lay snack company opened "Casa de Fritos," a Mexican-style restaurant in Disneyland's Frontierland. Casa de Fritos got its tortillas from Alex Foods, a local tortilla factory.

One day, a salesman from Alex Foods noticed that Casa de Fritos was dumping stale tortillas in the trash. He gave the kitchen a tip: instead of trashing the stale tortillas, cut them up and fry them.
Some time later, Archibald Clark West, a marketing executive for Frito-Lay, stops by Casa de Fritos and encounters the repurposed snack. He falls in love with them, contracts Alex Foods to produce them, and in 1964 the Dorito is born.
