"Hot" soda isn't a new concept. I'n the 90's Wegmans had "hot" Ginger Ale and Cola. We used to make our own hot pops by putting a fireball (the candy, not the alcohol) in it and letting it dissolve.

not sure but I did find out that doritos has a tagline that I guess they never ever use because i've never ever heard it:

Do they still call it "Cooler Ranch" and "Nacho Cheesier" etc? I recall they introduced those "2nd-generation" flavors early in the XTREEEME 90s and they just stuck with those names for years and years and years until they'd been using them way longer than they'd ever used "Cool Ranch" and "Nacho Cheese".

I miss the 3d Doritos they used to do during the extreme days. Felt like more flavor per chip.

The "Cooler" and "Nacho" parts aren't really part of "XTREEEME" labeling, it's a psychological thing where people will unconsciously select for things with additional adjectives.

Well yeah, but I meant "Cooler" as opposed to "Cool", and "Cheesier" as opposed to "Cheese".

I'm unfunny and looked it up at the USPTO because I was curious if "Cool Ranch" could even be trademarked since it feels pretty generic, but evidently it can be, and has been by Frito-Lay since 1986.

Cool Ranch is the elemental opposite of Spicy Nacho. Combining them together results in a taste explosion of unmeasurable magnitude.

I thought "Taco Flavor" was the original Dorito flavor. They still exist and the bag always looked old-school as hell to me.

That would've been my guess too.

I don't know why seeing plain salt doritos always looks so weird to me, it's not like there aren't a billion other brands of pain tortilla chips.

Yeah I get them sometimes too. They remind me of this little chip factory that was next to some random recording studio I worked for in the 90s. We would get free chips all the time and I loved them.

When I was 4 there was a potato chip factory that did wholesale and you could get I assume like a small cardboard drum/cylinder of fresh chips and reuse the cylinder. I say assume, because I think I have some crossed wires on my childhood memories because my dad also brought home empty plastic and cardboard 55 gallon drums from work so my memory has mutated into buying 55 gallon drums of potato chips. Which I'm pretty sure is insane or insanely delicious.

Are the chips just mixed together in an assortment or is the flavor on each chip a combo of all the above listed flavors?

The latter. It's kinda weird. I don't like salt & vinegar chips so they're not my favorite, but they're alright.

Lol some agent smith poo poo here

quote:


John: There are some really intense stats in this article, it says the Doritos line accounts for 80% of all flavored tortilla chips sales, and 10% of the entire salty snack category. That adds up to 950 million bags of Doritos sold in a year. So if Doritos are so popular, why redesign? “Easy” says Frito-Lay spokesman Lynn Markley. “This is America’s favorite snack and Frito-Lay is focused on accelerated business,” Mark Lee said, Doritos brings in $1.3 billion a year, so it makes sense to increase sales in that brand.

Adrianne: What? No, it doesn’t.

John: It doesn’t. No, it doesn’t make sense to me.

Regina: What?
