Mystery Doritos

If you follow our Facebook page you may have seen us post about the Doritos Jacked flavor contest. It's another choose a flavor contest from Frito-Lay but this time they aren't telling you what the flavors are. We here at Twinkie Wiener Sandwich are willing to put our taste buds on the line so you don't have to!

Obviously this will contain spoilers.

Flavor 855 (The red ones)

Some sort of super spicy nacho. These are a little tangy at first, then hot, then hot, still hot, then a slow afterburn. These are blasted with cayenne pepper and it demolishes any subtlety that may have been present. Not necessarily a bad thing, I liked them, but I'd only want them in moderation.

Two Cents from the Wife:
The Spicy Nacho Doritos are my absolute favorite. My initial impression of Flavor 855 is that they are basically Super Spicy Nacho. Other than an increase in cayenne pepper, I didn't notice much else different in flavor, which is a good thing. I hope this flavor sticks around. They didn't try to do anything crazy, they just made a very spicy chip, and it works. I recommend picking up a bag, if you like spicy.

Flavor 2653 (The blue ones)

Sadly, barbecue. I like barbecue, I just don't like barbecue snacks. Potato chips and Doritos always seem to be much too sweet and not smoky enough when they're barbecue flavored. These are headed in the right direction but unfortunately they didn't go far enough. The sweetness is still there and sweet Doritos are a turn off for me. I may get through this bag, but I will never buy them again.

Two Cents from the Wife:
I'm trying to be fair to this flavor, but the bottom line is that I don't like barbecue. As far as barbecue flavored chips go, these aren't the worst. They certainly aren't AS sweet as most barbecue chips tend to be, but there is still that underlying brown-sugar sweetness that just doesn't do it for me. I won't be helping to finish off this bag.

Our grocery store didn't have the yellow ones. We'll update when they do!
