Dorritos uses entirely TOO MUCH flavor seasoning.
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.
Oh wow. Rare to see such an objectively wrong opinion
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:
What the heck, I have never ever seen such a thing in all my bags. That's hilarious and awesome.
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.
The snack gods have blessed me three times with the holy Flavor Rock. May their light shine upon me again.
Those extra flavor dusted Cool Ranch chips hit hard. I miss them.
You have my vote because your valid opinion is actually very unpopular. I hate it. Congratulations.
Can I have your flavoring if you're not going to eat it?
Yes.....here, lick it off my tongue. It's ok. It's safe. I'm human.
Thank you! That sounds like something a human would say.
You gotta be shitting me
Is mayonnaise spicy to you?
Its not spicy. It's just gross.
This might be the first time I'm actually in the know on a reference 🍻
Spicy Mayo is called Ranch. Change my mind
You're beyond help
Ranch can have mayo in it, but it is not itself msyo.
I was just thinking the other day that “man, i taste corn chip, where is my cool ranch at?”
They should sell just the dust. I'd eat it with a spoon.
They used to... It was with the popcorn stuff like Kernel Seasons. I don't know if they still do though. The Spicy Nacho stuff was pretty good on popcorn though.
I would use it to LIGHTLY season some popcorn. Especially cool ranch.
Honestly it's the high level of flavoring that makes them good. You aren't meant to eat a ton at once, just get one chip at a time and enjoy the strong flavor.
Oh, no. I would eat a party size bag in like 30 minutes....but like halfway through the bag it's kind of like a burning sensation. Not spicy. More like if you took your tounge and rubbed it really fast over a carpet, and got carpet burn on your tongue.
But if you need more fiber in your diet, dorritos is the way to clear you out the next day.
Y'all need some broccoli.
The enormous amount of flavoring is like the whole point
The problem is you remember eating it as a kid. Drinking lots of Coke/Pepsi/mountain dew, hostess cakes, and all that other over flavored, ultra processed food covered with sugar and salt.
Now, as you've grown, your taste buds aren't used to the barrage and it's just too much to enjoy the nostalgia. Probably because they've steadily increased the additives to make it more appealing to an increasingly desensitized palette.
I feel the same way. I eat much healthier, feel better, and save nostalgia for movies instead of food.
I'm actually surprised this is an unpopular opinion. I guess a lot of people here are early 20s? It's easier to get back into the processed enjoyment mode then, maybe.
To add to this, Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips > Nacho Cheese Doritos.
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.
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.
(but yes, having at least the option would be nice)
Cool Ranch Ultra Blasted rice cakes would probably be amazing.
I kinda understand where you're coming from, but strong disagree. Maybe it's just that I usually eat Doritos with cottage cheese which dilutes the MSG tsunami, but I love their overdone spicy "cheese" flavor.
Anyway, this seems to be truly unpopular, so you get a upvote.
I'm sorry about that delicate constitution. Must be hard.
Try some Takis, they're a little more mellow.
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.
Username fits
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.
Late July? Sounds like it.
Like with all chips, the seasoning isn't the problem - it is the absurd amount of salt.
someone's salty
Right, 'cause of the Doritos.
I hate to upvote this.
I love doritos as well, and I find that most bags are okay for seasoning, but then you get the "oh god this is the bag with ALL the seasoning" and it's just gross when it's so much. Or some chips that are like plastered and I can't stand it being so much. Most of the time though? Tear through an entire bag yeah!
Buy off-brand then.
I tried the Aldis brand once. It was decent, but it was a different flavor entirely. I like the dorrito flavor.....just less of it.
Yikes.
I absolutely love using doritos as like a crunchy topping for a casserole or something, but never just eat them. I like to be able to taste things.
I mean if they stopped putting as much stuff on the chips, other people would buy less of them too. That would cut into their market share. They can't have that.
What if it actually makes people buy more doritos since it's harder to reach your daily intake of dorito flavoring? It's economics 101.
upvote because I completely disagree with you
looks at the community name
Oh, right.
Similar, but I always argued that whatever toxic combination of chemicals they use, is too distant from what most people would call “flavoring”. There was a short period in my teens when I could eat Doritos but they just don’t bear enough resemblance to food. The chemicals mostly burn my mouth and I don’t even know what “cool ranch” is supposed to be flavored like
If I want chips, I’ll get Tostitos Scoops and some fresh Pico de Gallo
Edit: And, yes, I love spicy food but this is more like a chemical burn than a hot pepper
I can't.. I.. brain sizzling
They have been gradually using less and less flavor on the regular ones imo. I've noticed that the cool ranch ones have far more dust than the regular ones.
