Reply to comment by Syndicatalyst in TIL Why Dog Paws Smell Like Fritos. Even the cleanest, healthiest pooch has trillions of bacteria and fungi living on their skin. That yeasty, corn chip smell is actually a normal byproduct of harmless bacteria, usually Proteus or Pseudomonas, both of which are naturally present in our environment. by Rossknight65

Right? Dogs have been around for a very long time, but Fritos have been around for a very short time.

Sure the bacteria is harmless, but I wonder if Fritos could be made without them. They may taste better too.
