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.

    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:

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
