Technology, Business, and Doritos

I haven’t talked about food or Doritos specifically in awhile, so I was sitting here eating a new flavor of Doritos and decided now is as good a time as any.  The new flavor is Spicy Sweet Chili.  Now, unless they roll Doritos in dirt I will probably eat them, so it is hard for me to give an unbiased review of the flavor.  However, I am not that big of a fan of sweet and savory.  These chips are just a little too sweet for me, and the flavoring is too artificial and too strong.  They need to reduce the amount of “doritos flavor dust” by about half.  It might take me a bit to get through this specific bag, but I need to.  There is another new flavor waiting for me on the fridge.

As for the second part, Doritos had a contest for users to make commercials for them and five finalists were put up for a vote on their website.  Luckily the easy target using sexual innuendo wasn’t the winner though it seemed to be winning on the website at first.  I guess I can have faith in our society’s good taste for a little longer….maybe.  My personal favorite is one called “Mouse Trap”.  Go here to view the five finalists.  They are all amateur videos, but are extremely well done.
