The reason Fritos taste different than other corn chips is because Fritos corn chips are made out of cornmeal dough which is not nixtamalized and they are also not heavily salted.
Fritos are also heavily salted and other corn chips are usually less salty because they are often dipped.
The original flavor of Fritos corn chips only contain corn, oil and salt which allows the taste of the corn chips to shine through.
The corn in the Fritos corn chips also goes through a nixtamalization process that changes the taste.
