They should use maybe 3/4ths of the amount of flavor they do. It’s overwhelming, and burns my tongue if I eat large amounts of them in one sitting.

That being said, I don’t eat junk food much anymore anyways. Prices are sky high, portions are pathetic, and it’s not like I wouldn’t be he healthier without it.

    Got some tortilla chips at Costco years ago that were 1. Better chips than Doritos and 2. Seasoned less vigorously. I can’t remember the brand and I haven’t seen them since. Kind of a white whale for me.

      I haven’t had those in forever!!! I should get some…and IMMEDIATELY put them in a much quieter bag. Have you heard those bags? It’s like they’re intentionally designed to annoy everyone around you just by existing. Definately not library food.

          eh…then I have to wash another dish. I don’t even make sandwiches. I just grab a fistfull of turkey lunch meat and stuff it in my face. Goes well with a squirt of bbq sauce.

    It might be regional but the new cheddar jack doritos in the silver white bag are what you described. Still tons of flavor, but dialed back a bunch. To get around the burnt tongue thing, I portioned it out in sandwich bags so I could eat them for a while without the main bag going stale. Treat yo self.

    Hard disagree. I miss the extra flavor dusted versions they had for a limited time a few years ago. Now the regular stuff seems bland. But every once in a while, I am blessed with a boon of just a solid rock of flavor dust in a bag like this:

      The snack gods have blessed me three times with the holy Flavor Rock. May their light shine upon me again.

      Fuck me I could die happy if I got that in a bag. I’d put it in panko and coat some tofu or chicken in it and fry it.

    It’s funny that this falls under the unpopular opinion area. Specifically since the original Doritos were nowhere near this spiced and/or coated. I’m not even that old and remember as a child the white top bag. “Nacho” if I recall for my area. It was the perfect amount but instead of covering the family they went with maxing out the kids in terms of flavor.

    Edit: I am with on this one. Forgot to mention that.

      People often distinguish between taste and flavour. Taste would be what you sense on your tongue. Flavour, would be what you sense in your nose.
