— A 1,325-pound Fritos chili pie: No thank you.

Just in time for Fritos' 80th birthday, the Plano-based company Frito-Lay built a massive Fritos pie at the State Fair of Texas that is believed to be the world's largest. Inside a trough-like structure sat 635 bags of Fritos, 660 cans of chilli without beans, and 580 bags of shredded cheddar cheese. That is a lot of chili'n'cheese.

Guiness Worlds Records adjudicator Michael Empric bestowed upon Frito-Lay's vice president of marketing an official title for the World’s Largest Fritos Chili Pie.

Only at the State Fair of Texas, where everything's bigger.

We have heartburn.
