Doritos come down under....

**carole** · 03-16-2010, 04:20 PM

A random thread, but i have often heard of Doritos on american television especially as bad food on Oprah, and weight loss programmes, people saying i had to give up my doritos.

Well they have made it down under just now to our supermarkets, to me they look exactly like corn chips, so as i probably won't ever taste them, as i don't really want high fat food these days, wondering what you all have to say about Doritos.?

Don't be scared.

Buy a small snack pack and have at it.

A few will not hurt you. The best way to eat them?

Cottage cheese, hot sauce, and olives?

I love the cool ranch ones! The bags have different colors in the UK then they do in the US, did you know that?

Doritos have been around for ages, I can't believe they didn't sell them down there until now

They're basically flavored tortilla chips. I love the Cool Ranch, they're awesome!

I think they have some now that are baked, but they're probably still not very good for ya

They may have changed the formula of the powdered "flavoring" on them for the NZ market ... They are corn chips, with different powdered, MSG-laden flavors - the original being a cheesy, tomato-y kind. And they leave bright orange powder on your fingers, and maybe face ...

I cannot eat them now, there's stuff in them I'm allergic to. Besides, I associate them with junior-high "dances" in my mind, so not terribly appealing!

I love Doritos!! At family functions we always have a 5 layer dip and there had better be Doritos to eat with the dip, or else!!
I don't eat them too often though. But they are tasty.

Yes well i figured they did not look any different to tortilla chips,so i won't be trying them, not a huge fan of corn chips or any kinda of chips,except hot ones,but hey thanks for the info.

FYI doritito's do come in spicy flavors (here in the US, anyway)

**caseysmom** · 03-16-2010, 09:25 PM

Doritos are good enough but classic lays are my downfall...I can't even keep them around without eating the whole bag.

I miss the old Habenero Doritos! They've stopped selling them here now. They have changed the name to Toro Habenero but only sell those in heavily Spanish speaking populated areas. My dad has ordered me boxes of 10-20 bags at a time since nothing compares to them. L-O-V-E! We do have quite a few Spanish speaking areas here. I had my brother in law ask at one of the grocery stores to see if they could order some. They couldn't. I'm down to my last Habenero bag for now. I'm saving it for a special occasion.

I love Doritos! Cool ranch are definately my favorite and the nacho ones are good too. I bought a bag of salsa verde ones before they were very spicy but I liked them. You could always get the plain ones and get some low fat chip dip to go with them.

I dip mine in guacamole.

I loved the spicy ones at one time but as w/everything else I love, I eat them until I can't stand the sight of them any more. Haven't had any in years. If you're anything like me and can't stop eating something that you really love and you're on a weight loss regimen, stay away from them but if you can snack and control yourself, go for it. They come in lots of yummy flavors.
