Tostitos is a brand of tortilla chips and dips produced by Frito-Lay and introduced in 1979, with national distribution in the United States reached in 1981. They are made from all-white corn. Traditionally, Tostitos chips contain no extra flavoring or preservatives, and thus are advertised to be suited for dipping. They are lightly salted, however. Chips are about 1 ? of an inch in diameter, and are often eaten with salsa or nacho cheese dip, which the company also produces. Some Frito-Lay brand seasoned products, including some flavors of Tostitos, contain pork enzymes in addition to herbs, cheese and other seasonings. Frito-Lay's web site states that they use enzymes from pigs in some of their seasoned snack products to develop 'unique flavors'. The presence of pig-derived ingredients makes them unsuitable for Vegetarians, Vegans, as well as non-kosher , and haraam .
Lyft is a privately held, San Francisco–based company whose mobile-phone application facilitates peer-to-peer ridesharing by enabling passengers who need a ride to request one from drivers who have a car. Unlike traditional taxis, Lyft drivers do not charge "fares" but receive "donations" from their passengers. Lyft's tagline is "your friend with a car." Since its inception, the company has striven to create a more social and fun experience for drivers and passengers in order to develop a sense of community among its users. According to the company, Lyft generally costs about 30 percent less than the price of a similar-length cab ride. Lyft currently operates in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Chicago, Washington D.C., Boston, Honolulu, and Indianapolis, with plans to expand both domestically and internationally.
