Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I'm now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest...

What the heck is a plain dorito

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

A tortilla chip.

Doritos are to tortilla chips as Potato Chips are to Flavored Potato Chips. They both rely on a dusting of flavor on a type of chip.

The flavoured kind, sure. But I'm talking about these - do these not qualify as a proper tortilla chip? They are just Corn, Rapeseed Oil, Salt and Anti-oxidants.

The salt ones aren't the plain ones, the ones in the blue bag are

Huh? Not for us. The blue bag in the UK are their 'Cool' flavour, which IIRC is lime-y ish kinda.

Wow TIL. Around here there are so many plain chip options, and Doritos are exclusively flavor blasted.

It’s even weirder. Not only was that the original flavor and the namesake of the brand, it was also the first brand of tortilla chips sold outside socal

At least here i remember them being in blue bags

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Apparently PepsiCo just sells unseasoned tortilla chips under the Doritos brand in the UK.

The UK? That checks out.
