| Description of Mark | The mark consists of TOSTITOS TOPPERS. The color(s) yellow, red, black and white is/are claimed as a feature of the mark. The mark consists of the literal element "TOSTITOS" in black stylized letters. The dot over the letter "I" is a red oval shape, which when taken together with the bottom of the letter "I", resembles a bowl of salsa. Above the oval is a downward pointing yellow triangle shape, resembling a tortilla chip. Above the crossbars of the second and third letter "T" are rounded parallelograms that resemble heads of people. When viewed together, the second and third letter "T" each resemble a person with outstretched arms. The totality of the design of the two letter "T"s and the "I" resembles two people dipping a triangular tortilla chip into salsa. Beneath "TOSTITOS" is the word TOPPERS shown in stylized form with the letters "T" and "S" shown in a larger typeface, while a centered, yellow horizontal line underscores the letters "OPPER". |
