What city? What retailer? Some flavors are exclusive, aka, limited, to certain regions.

I’d try them. Doesn’t mean it’s not still a stupid idea though.

It’s probably okay? I thought the sweet Cheetos at Easter would be gross too but then I realized kids breakfast cereal is also just various extruded corn shapes with flavoring and gave em a shot.
I’m guessing these would be fine considering sopapillas are great. Granted one is corn and one is flour but still, I’m sure it’s fine. I’d try it.

Outside the box mentality isn’t stupid .. pineapple on pizza is a great example , or pbj ..
Half our favorite foods were because of things nobody asked for ..

My girlfriend works for a company that manufactures chips (the snack variant, not the tech) and I send her fake mockups of their products every now and then, with terrible ideas. Boba tea chips, Matcha, Chai Latte. Stuff like that. Sounds like I have to make this as well.

Men’s Journal says that they’re only available in the UK. It says:
The limited-edition Doritos join a broader holiday lineup that includes Walkers Emmental cheese and beef wellington–flavored crisps, along with the return of Walkers Sensations Honey Glazed Ham sharing bags.
Ive had these and do you know what…..they shouldnt work but they do!

Not paying for that but am down to try them

This is almost as bad as the pumpkin pie flavored ramen.

If it is a sweet chip, sure. If it is savoury and salty, no.

I tried these and they are quite nice!
Specific_Complex7314
They’re actually quite nice, weird enough.

You know, I’ll be honest. Whenever I see a post with “nobody asked for this” or something similar, it makes me stop and want to say that that’s a bad reason to complain. Tons of delicious and amazing things were never asked for, but now that they exist (like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, stuffed crust pizza, etc. before they existed) are amazing.
However…! There’s a line and this crossed it and this monstrosity shouldn’t exist.

I disagree with OP. That flavor might not be your cup of tea, but people experimenting with different flavors isn’t inherently a bad or stupid thing.
A r/StupidFood version of ginger bread Doritos would be some weirdo trying to make a ginger bread house out of actual Doritos.

Coffee doritos too, what are they smoking
MaceWinnoob
Would work better if they called it Sopapilla flavor or something
Possible_Situation24
I’d try them, but I love ginger. It is a stupid idea, though.

I fucking hate Oregon. We never get any of these flavors. I managed to get ONE packet of the ketchup flavor Doritos because our stupid groceries stores never get any sort of chips other than the damn default flavors. Seasonal items? What are those? No seasonal items for you.
I hate it here. I want to try all these flavors and I just fucking can’t.

I can’t believe they would make this!! *Buys one*

Hmmm, what’s next, toothpaste flavored Dorito’s?

As ive said, a lot, there have been “Recent advancements in binding flavor to product”

Are they worse than the whopper ones that just tasted like burnt ass?

Thanks to engagement bait TikTok’s etc corporations are getting into to it to, make a stupid flavor everyone talks about it and buys it because it’s so stupid, the brands name is on everyone’s mouth

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the flavor industry has lost the plot. Oh for the days of the plain potato chip.
I mean, look at this shit. Ginger fucking bread flavor. What’s next, Period Blood flavor?
I see you there, wincing behind your screen, but be honest: at least some of you would buy it just to see if they got it right.
*crunch crunch crunch* .. “Mmmm.. ummhmm! Tastes like pennies.. *kaff kaff. reaches into mouth with two fingers and pulls something out* Oh, look! My bag came with a pubic hair!”
