Pop Food: The Battle of the New Doritos

Every once in a while, a much-loved product introduces a couple of new flavors and asks the public to vote on which one they like better. Now it's Doritos' turn, with their "Fight For The Flavor."

Of course, Doritos has introduced new flavors before. They came out with ranch, and then they started making their chips "cheesier" and "nachoier" (is that a word?), and even redesigned their bags. Now they've come out with Smokin' Cheddar BBQ flavor and Wild White Nacho flavor. One is OK, but the other one...ahem.

I'm not sure what the difference Wild White Nacho is from other Doritos flavors that already exist. It's a pretty unexciting chip. It falls somewhere between a regular corn chip and something along the lines of ranch flavor. It's not bad, it's just that there's nothing "wild" about it.

On the other hand, we have the Smokin' Cheddar BBQ chips. Wow, I couldn't eat more than two. They are so barbecue-y (I'm inventing words today) that they're almost inedible. The cheddar flavor? It's lost in the BBQ taste, but still remains somehow and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

You can vote at doritos.com for your favorite. Cool web site.

Spicy Nacho
Zesty Cheese
Black Pepper Jack
Jalapeno & Cheddar
Sweet Chili Heat
Bold BBQ
Tandoori Sizzler

Of the lot of them, I've only tried the Tandoori Sizzler, and they're pretty damn spicy.

Kickass.

why not the LS2/LS7?

I'm going to have to work my Canadian connections to try to get some Tandoori Sizzler chips sent down to me.

I don't know why Frito-Lay hasn't capitalized on this fact, but I know that I've spent hours looking for places online to buy these chips and have come up empty. Anyone have a source still? Do they still carry them at your Sam's Club NCProsecutor? I'd love to get my hands on some of those suckers.
