The reason Tostitos are so addictive is because of the sodium and salt and fat content in the Tostitos that is added during the making of the Tostitos chips.
This salt and fat makes you crave them more as your brain and tongue react to crave salt and then you want to eat more and more.
Potato chips and Tortilla Chips are best known for two things: salt and fat.
