They should use maybe 3/4ths of the amount of flavor they do. It’s overwhelming, and burns my tongue if I eat large amounts of them in one sitting.

That being said, I don’t eat junk food much anymore anyways. Prices are sky high, portions are pathetic, and it’s not like I wouldn’t be he healthier without it.

    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.

      Oh, no. I would eat a party size bag in like 30 minutes…but like halfway through the bag it’s kind of like a burning sensation. Not spicy. More like if you took your tounge and rubbed it really fast over a carpet, and got carpet burn on your tongue.

      But if you need more fiber in your diet, dorritos is the way to clear you out the next day.

      I haven’t had those in forever!!! I should get some…and IMMEDIATELY put them in a much quieter bag. Have you heard those bags? It’s like they’re intentionally designed to annoy everyone around you just by existing. Definately not library food.

    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 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.
