Product Review - Late Night Cheeseburger Doritos

Back in high school and college, Doritos were almost their own food group.....




But, I've not paid much attention to the brand, besides some of the commercials come Super Bowl time.... Besides, the Cool Ranch flavor hit such a high note, how could you improve it?

Well, obviously, the flavor labs at Doritos are trying... i noticed a grab bag size of these Late Night Cheeseburger flavored Doritos, and felt I had to try it. Brought them home and shared them with the Better Half... the first thing that I noticed was a bit of pickle flavor hitting the tongue, quickly followed by some sharp yellow mustard.... the flavors then kind of get a bit smokey, and you get the cheese and what must be the burger flavor.... a Dorito is a Dorito, so it is pretty good... you definitely get a feel for it being like a cheeseburger, so I suppose it is a success.... we had a friend stop by, and had him do a blind taste test... he couldn't pick it out, but once we told him the flavor, it all did click.....

The verdict: 3.5 belly rubs (out of 5). Pretty tasty, very inventive, successful execution. I'd still stick with Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch....
