I find this article to be hilariously true, which I had never realized until today. However, I still have to give credit where credit is due. Sweet Chili Heat is the BEST chip I have ever had the ecstasy of consuming. I guess everynoe has to get something right at some point... and they are still on the shelf today! ...

I may be wrong, but the white bag thing leads me to that conclusion. The newest "mystery" flavor was allegedly mountain dew flavored. Go figure. @Franco

I believe you are referencing the mystery flavor that ended up being white cheddar. I may be wrong, but the white bag thing leads me to that conclusion.

The newest “mystery” flavor was allegedly mountain dew flavored. Go figure.

If you haven't, and you live in Canada... go into any gas station or convenient store and pick a faceless white bag of doritos and try them. Everything this blog entry alleges was confimred when I tired those chips. I think the flavor is wack. I think everyone will agree that the marketing campaign for this product is absolutely fantastic, and the advertisers/ PR firms are doing a great job of promoting this campaign. HOWEVER, the fact that the so-called “mystery flavor” is sooooooo incredibly similar to the regular nacho cheese flavor is so disappointing to me that my negative emotions associated with the poor choice in chip taste rival my positive emotions and excitement about the contest. So I’m left with mixed feelings about the whole thing. The regular nacho cheese chip flavor doesn’t inspire the kind of creativity that I think the Frito-Lay people want to elicit from their minions. OR… perhaps it’s all a huge conspiracy! Think about it… the Doritos brand keeps reinventing itself every few years under new monikers, but always retaining their two essential flavors; nacho cheese and cool ranch. Maybe… Just maybe… this contest is designed to increase the visibility of the Doritos brand in the collective conscious of the public (obviously), but here’s the catch… they pitch this to the public as a chance to make a lot of money with the $25,000 dollar prize and 1% of future sales, knowing full gaddamn well that the uninspired new flavor will lead to marginal future sales so that they can discontinue the new mystery flavor and not have to pay out all that much more to the winner of this contest. So they really only invest 25K plus another 25-30K to the winner… however, the only thing people will remember about Doritos for the next few (possibly five) years is, “hey, remember when Doritos did that really cool mystery flavor contest? That was cool.” The flavor is literally just nacho cheese, plus maybe a bit of cayenne pepper powder. Lame Franco Have you tried the new “mystery flavor” of doritos?

Obviously what is going on here is that yall sum hatas!!! word up yall nukklehedz just talkin up sum smack on them doritos boiz and yall aint even makin no chips!! Wats up wit that, yall cant just hate on dem for makin only 2 flavaz of chips. Thats like a alarm clock yall already gots a disqualified wristwatch! word, besides thats 2 more flavors of chips then yall makin. And so I have reached my conclusion, the real perpetrators of the supposed Dorito "dual flavor fraud" are the consumers who continuously purchase and thus condone the masking and marketing of 2 simple flavors uder the guise of real flavor choice.
