New Doritos flavor...
« on: May 17, 2007, 11:26:03 AM »
On my way home from Pennsylvania, I stopped at a Sheetz (local 7-11 type store), and I saw black bags of Doritos with white lettering.

They were printed (I have it in the car) with words to the effect that it was a taste test and that the taster is invited to help name the new flavor.

I was intrigued, so I left the bag of Black Pepper Jack on the shelf (my favorite!) and got these, formula X-13D or some such.

It was easy to identify what flavor they're going for just from the smell -- Cheeseburger with pickles.

And I have to admit that they tasted vaguely like a cheeseburger with pickles.

Until the chemical after taste set in.

I've not provided my feedback yet, but I'm afraid it's not going to be too complimentary.

Perhaps, with a little imagination, you can get an idea from the name of the store . . . as in "These taste like . . . "

I like cheeseburgers with pickles, but I usually like to eat them with chips THAT DON'T TASTE LIKE CHEESEBURGER AND PICKLES.  Why don't they just make them taste like a cheeseburger with pickles, a bag of Doritos and a Coke?  Then you wouldn't have to mess with anything else.  At least they weren't formula wd-40.

I suggest they call them Pickled and Cheesy Meat Sandwich Flavor with Chemical Aftertaste for Fresh Breath and Whiter Teeth or, if that's too complimentary, just Pickled Crap.

Maybe I should actually try some first.  smiley

Treif.

What would you call Doritos that taste like cheeseburger and pickle?  Doritovilles (after Jimmy Buffet of course)?

I suspect Marketing would nix that idea.

I've already begun formulating the jingle to go along with them.
