I subscribe to a number of newsletters and within the past week or so, I received one that talked about Frito s as firestarter s -- anyone heard of this?

I have never started a fire with them. But I have tossed a few in the fire to watch them burn, and they really go.

Frito s for firestarter? Mayonaise to restore luster to fiberglass? Tomato juice to de-skunk campers? Peanut butter for bait in mouse traps? Whipped cream and ostrich feathers for....ooops wrong thread...earl

If you use Fritos as a firestarter, does that attract bears?

I actually tried this last summer.  We used barbecue Fritos and it didn t work at all.
 They stayed lit for a few seconds, but it would have  never been enough to start a fire.

No, but pistachio shells seem to burn quite hot.
