USA, Salsa Rio Throwback packaging, 2012. From the Liebold Archives.
These are fantastic, a good low key salsa chip without the throat burning sensation. Great revival Doritos! Get em while you can, these are only around for a limited time.
Brazil, Doritos Verão Green Pepper packaging, 2011.
Summer? Disco ball? Brazil? Doritos? Absolutely!
Japan, Pepper Bacon packaging, 2011
Again with the weird shapes, and again with the awesome flavors. Well played Nippon, well played.
Japan, Doritos Gourmet Clam Chowder packaging, 2011. From the Liebold Archives.
Well, you know you either have a loving family or your interests are becoming a little obsessive when you get Doritos for Christmas. My sister-in-law gave these to me this year, and yes, they taste very much like clam chowder. The seafood-based Doritos aren’t my favorite, not because I don’t like seafood, they’re just weird is all.
Japan, Doritos Gourmet Grilled Squid and Kikkoman Soy Sauce packaging, 2011. From the Nerdy Show Archives.
Ho boy. The gents from the The Nerdy Show podcast sent these over to me, and I cannot help but a little jealous. Look at this! I think the green swash on the front says “100% AWESOME” but my Japanese reading skills are worse than nonexistent. Kudos gents for scoring such an exotic sounding flavor. Ok my dear readers, help a fan out and get in touch about sending me flavors like this if you can!
USA, Doritos taco shell, Taco Bell, 2011
I have held back from posting this in hopes I would someday be able to try it and post my own images and take on it how it tastes and all that. But the more time that goes on, the more I fear that day will never come. No Taco Bells is my area seem to have this. If you have tried it, and loved it, please don’t torment me with your stories.
USA, Sour Cream & Onion vintage packaging, 2012
An update on the Doritos Twitter account today hinted at these lovely triangle shaped pieces of heaven coming to the USA this up coming January. Don’t let us down Doritos. Santa is watching.
UPDATE: Just had these, holy moly. DELICIOUS. As another sampler in the room stated, these definitely give Cool Ranch a run for their money. Consume immediately and often.
USA, Battle Black Pepper Jack packaging, 2011. From the Liebold Archives.
These delicious bits of snackable warfare are only available at Wal-Marts. So if you can stand the aroma, get in there and grab them while you can. They’re only available for a limited time as a tie in with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
These are great. It’s rare nowadays for me to be able to inhale a whole bag in one sitting, but these guys didn’t stand a chance. My Snack XP went up exponentially.
Australia, Battle: Hot Mexican Salsa vs Thai Sweet Chili commercial, 2011
Doritos is really finding success in these battle type flavor releases. While neither of these sound as out-of-control as the flavors Japan unleashes, I’m happy Australians aren’t afraid of a little stereotyping.
