Many moons ago, a PR person sent me a couple bags of the Doritos mystery flavor chips (labeled 'The Quest'). On the day they arrived, my boyfriend and I riped into the first one and tasted, hoping that our sharp taste buds (his being a bit sharper than mine) would be able to discern the undisclosed flavor. At first we guessed lime and then started leaning towards the more nuanced determination of mojito. They've got both tart and sweet flavor tones going on that make them really tasty and sort of addictive. Has anyone else seen and/or tasted these? Any guesses on what the mystery flavor might be?

Are they doing this in Canada as well? Chip flavors excite me, for some reason. Also, mojito chips? That sounds kinda weird. Are they minty?

Is this completely different from the x-13D Doritos? Those were definitely not lime flavored...probably.

I pretty much refuse to buy things like this until I know what they are. What if it's a flavor I find disgusting like green peppers or mustard? Do I get a refund?

found some mystery doritos under the couch. you can really sense the nutty undertones with a hint of cheese. goes well with an aged Mountain Dew.

Srsly... Mountain Dew. The answer is on their website somehow.
If it were what someone else suggested - mango chile lime - I might be interested... but no mas.

@ GL
I think they are different than the x-13D because those were cheeseburger flavored.

I drink 2 liters of dew a day, it's definitely not mt dew. Key Lime Pie is the closest my taste buds could get to a definite answer.

At first I tasted lime, then it tasted like mojito or margarita.
