Unpopular Opinion

upvote because I completely disagree with you

I can't.. I.. brain sizzling

Not unpopular. Everyone has different preferences.

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

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

The enormous amount of flavoring is like the whole point

Similar, but I always argued that whatever toxic combination of chemicals they use, is too distant from what most people would call “flavoring”. There was a short period in my teens when I could eat Doritos but they just don’t bear enough resemblance to food. The chemicals mostly burn my mouth and I don’t even know what “cool ranch” is supposed to be flavored like

If I want chips, I’ll get Tostitos Scoops and some fresh Pico de Gallo

Edit: And, yes, I love spicy food but this is more like a chemical burn than a hot pepper

someone's salty

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.

Username fits

They have been gradually using less and less flavor on the regular ones imo. I've noticed that the cool ranch ones have far more dust than the regular ones.

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.

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.

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!

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.

You gotta be shitting me

Extreme Cheddar!

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

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

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

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 hate to upvote this.

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

Is mayonnaise spicy to you?

Flavor seasoning.

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

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.
