Unpopular Opinion

Oh wow. Rare to see such an objectively wrong opinion

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:

You have my vote because your valid opinion is actually very unpopular. I hate it. Congratulations.

You gotta be shitting me

Is mayonnaise spicy to you?

They should sell just the dust. I'd eat it with a spoon.

I was just thinking the other day that “man, i taste corn chip, where is my cool ranch at?”

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.

The enormous amount of flavoring is like the whole point

To add to this, Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips > Nacho Cheese Doritos.

(but yes, having at least the option would be nice)

The problem is you remember eating it as a kid. Drinking lots of Coke/Pepsi/mountain dew, hostess cakes, and all that other over flavored, ultra processed food covered with sugar and salt.

Now, as you've grown, your taste buds aren't used to the barrage and it's just too much to enjoy the nostalgia. Probably because they've steadily increased the additives to make it more appealing to an increasingly desensitized palette.

I feel the same way. I eat much healthier, feel better, and save nostalgia for movies instead of food.

I'm actually surprised this is an unpopular opinion. I guess a lot of people here are early 20s? It's easier to get back into the processed enjoyment mode then, maybe.

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.

I'm sorry about that delicate constitution. Must be hard.

Try some Takis, they're a little more mellow.

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 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.

Username fits

Got some tortilla chips at Costco years ago that were 1. Better chips than Doritos and 2. Seasoned less vigorously. I can't remember the brand and I haven't seen them since. Kind of a white whale for me.

Like with all chips, the seasoning isn't the problem - it is the absurd amount of salt.

I hate to upvote this.

someone's salty

Extreme Cheddar!

I love doritos as well, and I find that most bags are okay for seasoning, but then you get the "oh god this is the bag with ALL the seasoning" and it's just gross when it's so much. Or some chips that are like plastered and I can't stand it being so much. Most of the time though? Tear through an entire bag yeah!

I absolutely love using doritos as like a crunchy topping for a casserole or something, but never just eat them. I like to be able to taste things.

Buy off-brand then.

I mean if they stopped putting as much stuff on the chips, other people would buy less of them too. That would cut into their market share. They can't have that.

Flavor seasoning.

Is that like spaghetti pasta or is it closer to crab crustaceans?

upvote because I completely disagree with you
