So this weekend has been pretty tough with my alma mater’s basketball team losing in the NCAA tourney and a few other random things, but luckily when I got home I saw a new flavor of Doritos on our fridge. Apparently Wild White Nacho is a part of a competition Doritos is having for a new flavor. The other competitor is Smokin Cheddar BBQ which I will have to try later. I do have to say that I am scared about the BBQ. A very well done BBQ chip is awesome, a slightly less well done chip is just awful. There is no middle ground as far as I am concerned. Now to the review of the Wild White Nacho flavor.
When I first took a bite the thing that came to mind was Cool Ranch, and then after eating a few more it was more of a cross between Pepper Jack Doritos and Cool Ranch. Luckily it isn’t as sickeningly loaded with flavor as the Spicy Sweet Chili ones which I hope they take off the shelves quickly. Anyway, the Wild White Nacho flavor is nice, but I wonder if it is distinctive enough to set it apart from Cool Ranch or Pepper Jack. Which makes me wonder why the moniker “Wild”. It would be more accurately called “Tame White Nacho. The thing I like the most about this flavor over Cool Ranch or Pepper Jack is the cheese coats the chip so the flavor is very mild and consistent over the whole chip. With the other two flavors, the flavor is more sprinkled on and some bites you get really loaded with flavor and they can sometimes be gritty. Anyway, I will write again when I try the BBQ flavor and compare the two.
