Doritos Roulette

This is a newly launched Doritos flavor available here. Not that I'm a fan of hot and spicy food, but I'm too curious what it is all about. It comes with a 'warning' that some of these chips are 'mega spicy'. The 'roulette' part is that it'll be a gamble if we'll get the super duper hot or just mildly spicy ones as we dip inside the bag. Look at all the fire on the packaging. I bought a package for all of us at home to try. Half of them won't even bother to try when they read the warning. And the other half took one bite then decided none of that fiery stuff for them - too hot to handle, I guess. So now I'm stuck to finish the whole bag all by myself.

I can't eat anything spicy so I wouldn't try this kind for sure.

Good idea! I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone who might have problems with spicy food.

Have you tasted the product? How is it? If it is not worth buying it will not last long on the shelves.

Yes, I have. I couldn't eat more than 5 chips at one sitting. And if I got the fiery hot one straight away, that's it - time to drink some water and forget about the rest until next sitting.

I hope you have some soothing sour cream to dip them into.

What a great idea! Why didn't I think about that before? I might be able to finish the whole bag in no time that way - thanks!

sour cream does sound like a great way to enjoy your chips

Oh my gosh, I would not be surprised if some of my kids' friends have this in their lunch at school - I'm not kidding. Even in my son's kindergarten class, I see one of the moms bringing her twins those Taki things - I don't know these little tummies can handle such spicy stuff! I am a fan of spicy things - but I can't seem to handle that stuff anymore. Would you say that's really super, duper hot?

@sishy7 Wow, that must be pretty hot stuff! Hope you have a water hose nearby - or we might have to call the fire department!

Oh yes! They say only one super hot chip for every 5-6 chips, but I think they're pretty much mixed up inside the bag so seems to me each one is hot! And if I do get the one supposedly super hot chip, my mouth is on fire!

Yeah, if you can stand bird's eye chilies then these would probably be okay for you...

After reading how many you can eat at a time, I am sure that I am not going to try them (I probably was not going to try them anyway, but you have just confirmed this).

@sishy7 LOL - no thank you. My stomach is not liking me very much right now, so food that is too spicy is not a good idea. Of course, I say that knowing that I am going to add come cayenne pepper to the meat and vegetables when I make spaghetti tonight.

Oh, come on! You have to try them yourself! Just have some sour cream dip handy - that's a great suggestion from @Rollo1 !

A silly idea and some kids have tried them thinking they are just like other crisps until they feel their mouths are on fire which has upset parents - I like strong spices so I'll probably cope but not seen them in the shops yet

Yeah, this product eaten by itself may not be something you like then...

Yeah, the 'warning' gets curious (or should I say gullible?) people like me wanting to try the new product...

It's a fun idea but I don't think the product will be available long term.

Ah, doesn't say anywhere on the packaging - but you could very well be right that it's only a limited edition product...
