“What snacks do cannibals love?”/“Fritos.”

“Fritos” (a brand of corn chips) shouldn’t be confused with “free toes,” but there are jokes. “Cannibals never turn down Fritos” was posted on Twitter by Junction 821 on October 6, 2009.

Wikipedia: Fritos
Fritos is a brand of corn chips and dipping sauces created in 1932 by Charles Elmer Doolin and produced since 1959 by the Frito-Lay division of PepsiCo. Unlike the similar tortilla chips, which are made from cornmeal and use the nixtamalization process (known as masa), Fritos are made by deep-frying extruded whole cornmeal. The brand is owned by Frito-Lay along with Lay’s.
