Frito Bandito

Frito Lay had a drew up some controversy with the Latino community with their Frito Bandito character. During that time, Eli Wallach played Tuco the bandito in 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly'. Wallach also played a bandito in 'The Magnificent Seven'. I can't help but think that it was Wallach that gave the Frito ad agency team the idea.

Personally, I liked the little Frito Bandito fellow. I remember the song and I even collected the erasers when I was a kid.
