USA, Nacho Cheese can packaging, 1999
Anyone have more info on these? I believe these images came from an ebay auction, but I can’t confirm that or find more info on this can. Is it real? How did it open? Was this cheese soda?

These are without a doubt one of my favorite flavors in recent memory. It’s taken me some time to post them up, so hopefully they are still available in your area. If so, do yourself a favor and grab a bag for you and your loved ones.

I really enjoyed these. In start contrast to the other Dinamita flavors, this one is more subtle, thereby more enjoyable to me. It’s hard to savor a chip when you can’t even taste it due to your taste buds being singed by the first bite. Here the taste settles in, and takes a little bit to make a statement. At first crunch, you might think there’s nothing too special about them, then you taste the crema part and then the spice hits. Well done.

To be honest, I can’t much comment on the flavors of this and the previous Jacked varieties. It’s been a while since I’ve had them, and I’ve been behind on posting them. So forgive me, but all you need to know is I finished the bags immediately. That should be enough to describe their tastiness.

It is no lie that these Jacked Doritos are bigger and thicker than your run-of-the-mill Doritos. You can’t fit a whole chip into your mouth at once! They remind me a bit of the thickness of the Gourmet Doritos from Japan, which are also thicker. Gives them a good crunch when you bite into them. As for the flavor, great. Not too overwhelming though despite being billed as “bolder.” 4 out of 5 crunches.

USA, Dinamita Chile Limon packaging, 2012. From the Liebold Archives.
These not to much. Firstly, the wholly unnatural coloring (surface-of-the-sun red) is a off putting. Secondly, from what I can tell, this is the same flavor profile as Flamas, so why not just call them Dinamita Flamas? If the favor is subtly different, I can’t tell you. It’s just too damned hot for me to eat enough to gauge. So these, not so much a repeat eater.

Holy molé, what have we here?! Doritos USA takes a cue from Doritos Japan and offers not only a new flavor, but a new chip shape for this new flavor. These little rolled up Doritos (round tortillas rolled into dynamite shapes) are pretty tasty. The rolled-upped-ness provides more crunch, and these aren’t too hot to enjoy in large doses. Kudos, I didn’t think I’d take to the rolls shape, but it’s quite good.
For those who can’t wait until lunch (aka probably everyone) you can grab a Doritos Locos Taco from Taco Bell at midnight tonight. Check their store locator on Facebook to see which locations are participating.

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.
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.
