Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

 

Readers, I did not take one for the team.

I'm in no position to comment on this as I've never tasted Doritos in my life, but I remember reading this a couple of years ago.

 

Interesting back story.

 

Didn't make me want to run out and buy either the edible or potable kind, though.

This definitely falls into the OMG category. I thought I must be misreading -- that is, not correctly processing what I was seeing -- until I read liuzhou's comment:

I'm no fan of Doritos. IMO you aren't missing a thing.

I'm sure.

It isn't that they're unavailable here. Sadly, they are.

It's just I don't eat this kind of industrial crap, especially when it is made from the evil pestilence that is cØrn.

I quite like Doritos and many crispy salty good-for-nobody snacks so I looked it up at my Total Wine -  it’s $61.99 for a 750 ml bottle!  Now, I’d spring for a little airline bottle but no way am I paying that much!

Also, the reviews were mostly bad.  The one positive review recommended adding a splash to a dirty martini or a Bloody Mary.  I can imagine that working but I’m not a fan of either cocktail and a soggy Dorito has zero appeal, even for me.

There are a lot of words on this label, and I can't make any of them fit together in my head.

My parents lived in Delray, and Total Wine always got a visit.  There was generally something interesting to see.

 

Wonder if there will be a batch 02?
