What is going on with all the weird potato chip flavors?

There certainly seems to be a lot of different ones out there, that's for sure! I don't eat Doritos very often, preferring Munchos potato chips but lately I have tried a couple of bags of Doritos new flavor called Spicy Sweet Chili. They're actually quite tasty :)

What is weird about sea salt?! lol They are lovley!! x

ha ha funny, sure makes you wonder though what they will come up with next in the flavors for sure.. I love the Pringles though over really anything out there I will eat Doritos too the cheese and cool ranch ones.. I am not into the other kind either.. I'd hate to buy them and than throw them away cause they don't taste right..

HAhahahahaha Thanks for the laugh. I don't understand the new laours either. I have not seen the ones that you mentioned, but I wouldn't be surprised if your suggested new flavours were the next onces to hit store shelves. People will buy just about anything!!!

We made the mistake of buying one of the mystery bags of Doritos. I'm pretty sure it's Fruit Loop flavored. And I'd say I'm just kidding, but seriously, it tasted like lime fruitiness. Not what I wanted in terms of chips. :(

pickled pigs feet sounds weird for a flavor. i'd like to try sea salt (",). maybe i will try some of potato chips with weird but interesting new flavors some time...

I can tell you I'd never want to try the "Pickled pigs feet". I have more than enough to choose from with the salty ones, with paprika, salt and pepper, or sour cream and onion. Or onion and cheese. Or with olive oil and herbs. Pickled Pigs feet.

How about swamp water with garlic. Cats feet and tomato paste? Sound great to me especially the cats who are in door cats and use a cat box.

Ack, I'll pass on the Styrofoam and Toothpaste, thank you. The last one I tried was Jamaican Jerk, but they were too salty. Otherwise delicious though. I think it is all an excuse to charge 4 times what they are worth.

I know what you mean. Seasalt is actually not new and is pretty good. I work in a convenience store and so I see and get to sample some of the new flavors. Some are just downright nasty. some...don't sound appetizing enough to even make me want to try them. I'm a chip lover and to be honest most of those new flavors are just really bad and not worth the money they are asking. Chip prices have gone thru the roof lately. I'll stick to those that i know I love.

Yeah, they are coming with weird stuff like that all the time. Have you seen these new Doritos? I think they are called Quest. The thing is it doesn't say on the bag what flavor it is, you have to try to guess what it is. I tried some at a friends house, and they weird tasting, kinda salty, and sweet, and had some kind of fruit lemony flavor...it was weird. You'll have to try those too..lol.

guess they are trying to please all the wierd people w/the wierd flavors. i'm sure they are just trying to make an honest living. my son works for frito-lay. i'll ask him. all he does is put them in the srores so he probably doesn't know either.

Hahaha! I want "complete turkey dinner flavor"!!! I doubt they'll ever make them, but they might! I agree with you. Regular and barbeque are all that is ever required as far as potato chips go! My husband loves the "so hot you'll end up in the hospital" flavors, and my son loves the pickle flavored ones, as well as the crab flavored ones. Yuck! Styrofoam and toothpaste, huh? Hmmmm...

hahahah i dont know but the flavors are horrible!!

I really hope you were kidding about the [i]pickled pigs feet[/i] chips. That sounds so gross. I have tried several of the newer flavors of chips that have come out. Most of them I did not like.

I tried the Spicy Sweet Chili ones yesterday. To me, most of the flavors don't have much difference in taste. Like you said, if I want a picante flavor, I'll just dip them in picante sauce. I guess Doritos is just seeing which flavors are the most popular (like Mountain Dew is currently doing with its new flavors.)

The weirder the taste the more my son likes it. I think it goes back to before he had his tonsils out and couldn't taste anything. For me, I like plain. No funky flavors. Not even cheese or barbecue. Just plain.

All the chips manufacturers are trying to come out with the next best thing and sometimes that means coming out with really strange things. You just never know what th next big thing is going to be. You also have to remember that a weird flavor to you does not automatically constitute a weird flavor to someone else. I mean, look how long Pork Rinds have been around? People eat them! So the manufacturers keep making them. I know that with Doritos, most of the time, they are running a contest. They put several flavors out at a time and then have consumers vote on their favorite flavors and compare this to sales. The flavor that gets the most votes and also shows an increase in sales, is generally the flavor that is kept and put on the shelves permanently. The last time around, my favorite flavor got the boot! But, it also seems to be a disease that is spreading to other grocery items. Sodas are becoming more and more complex with flavors, yogurts, flavored waters, cereals, ice creams, puddings, salsas... it's out of control! I understand why it's getting to that point, but it doesn't make it any easier to make a decision about anything.

It is kind of ridiculous that they are making so many flavors, BUT I just had to come in here and respond to say that I LOVE the Buffalo Ranch Doritos. They are spicy with just enough ranch flavoring. On another note, I kind of chuckled when I saw that you eat regular Doritos with picante sauce... To me, that's a weird combination lol.

I like Doritos! especially the combo's and the chips..it's tastes food!
