RARE ~ FRITO KID CERAMIC CUP MUG 1950's DISNEYLAND CASA de FRITOS RESTAURANT

Description

OFFERED FOR SALE
The Frito Kid vending machine in Frontierland’s Casa de Fritos. During the 1950s and 1960s, Disneyland guests could insert a nickel into the coin box and the Fritos official mascot, The Frito Kid, would come to life, lick his lips, and call for Klondike the Miner to send a bag of Fritos down the chute. The stereophonic audio track changed with each purchase, so each customer would hear a different interaction between the Kid and Klondike. Photo
Walt Disney financed Disneyland in part by lining up corporate sponsors for various attractions, stores, and restaurants around the park. One early sponsor was Fritos,  founded in 1932 by food entrepreneur Charles Elmer Doolin.
Walt persuaded Doolin to open a Fritos-themed Mexican restaurant in Disneyland. Casa de Fritos opened on August 11, 1955, less than a month after Disneyland’s opening day.
