Doritos- they've made them "better tasting"

[Dynasty]

Doritos, my favorite chips, have been given a subtle change to their taste. They seem to be a bit more spicier and a little less cheesier. (there's probably a better way to describe it).

Anyhow, I don't think I like it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v720/DynastyPoker/crybaby.gif Doritos were just fine the way they were. I think this sucks.

[tdarko]

i like them.

[[censored]]

It is a good thing you are not talking about the Nacho Cheese Doritoes because I would freak out. They are my absolute favorite snack and they are perfect how they are.

do you remember the olden days doritos? the tortilla chips were more like tortilla chips. i forget how long ago they made the change but the chips arent as good now.

Why are business people so stupid? Why do they stop selling regular coke and force new coke on us? Now they repeat history with Doritos? Why don't they simple add it to the menu? Give us a [censored] option damnit!!!!!

I hope you find some of the old Doritos. But, unlike "Old Coke", you can't stock up on Doritos and ration them out to yourself.

[tdarko]

understandable--i was this bitter when my favorite mexican food joint moved across the [censored] town the other day.

[wacki]

Ehhhh, I'm actually not upset. Before the inspiration given to me via this thread, I haven't had Doritos in years. Still, I just don't get why CEO's make some of the decisions they do. I feel bad for Dynasty more than anything else.

Gotta love it.

You're just young. In happened back in the mid 1980's.

After a big fuss was made by Coke drinkers, Coca Cola brought back the original formula as Coca Cola Classic. Eventually, New Coke just disappeared and only the orginal formula was sold.

No, I've been called a neocon for my stances on foreign politics and a gronola dick for my stances on energy/global warming. I've also been called a hippy for my stance on the war on drugs and a pussy liberal for my stance on the death penalty. I am a liberal neocon hippy with a girlfriend that never has to worry about getting enough fiber.

I was simply having fun.

Ya exactly, it's not bad just different. It sucks because my favorite combo was Nacho Cheese doritoes + tostitoes salsa. This new less cheesy more spicy thing is going to the throw the whole cheese-salse mix off....and that sucks.

now i want to try "new" coke.

[CORed]

I've always wondered if Coke had just changed their formula and said nothing if anyone would have noticed the difference. The "New Coke" was a little under-carbonated, though.

Actually, in the months leading up to New Coke, they did quietly tinker with the Coke formula, making it sweeter and less harsh, and the market was responding well.

The original Orange bag doritoes were called Taco, which I think later were used as Taco Bell. In any event the original doritos came in a orange bag and were called taco flavored. This article covers it nicely

I think they would have. A little change goes a long way. The thing is though, that Pepsi is so much sweeter than Coke that they would have had to change Coke a lot to knock it out of its flavor niche and make people turn to a competitor.

They were trying to abandon their niche to zero in on a different one, since Pepsi sold far better in many foreign countries than Coke because of its sweetness. But it turned out that if people wanted a sweeter Coke, they would have been drinking Pepsi in the first place. And thus ensued a pretty unique and cool consumer protest.

I'm not sure that Coke hasn't made their product surreptitiously sweeter these days anyway, though. It seems a bit sweeter to me.

I like the new Doritos. But, I'm not buying them as often as the old ones. Instead, I seem to be having more popcorn as a snack.

I work at Frito Lay and based on my highly unplesant working evironment have placed myself on a personal ban from ever eating any Frito Lay based product ever again!

[jakethebake]

I don't like them. They take perfectly good corn chips and cover them with a pound of some kind of nasty orange MSG-filled spice crap. It ruins them for dipping, for nachos, or anything else I like to do with chips. Plus my fingers get covered with that orange crap.

[samjjones]

I'm sure all of the "old-timers" here remember the way Doritos used to taste. The best part was the solid chunks of nacho cheese that used to gather at the bottom of the bag. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I think they changed their manufacturing process in the late 80's/early 90's.

[WDC]

they turned it in to Pepsi?

[codewarrior]

It seems to me they started fiddling with the formula about a year ago. I don't like it. The last bag I bought was damn near inedible.
