I fall in with the latter group.Īpparently this flavor was introduced in 1990 and discontinued shortly thereafter. “There was a flavor of Doritos called Jumpin’ Jack?” I can hear others wondering. “WOOHOO!” I can hear some of you shouting through the Internet. Commence with the angry letter-writing.Īctually, your angry letters might be worth something, because according to Snack Chat, Frito-Lay’s blatant-marketing-disguised-as-a-blog, it’s you who brought back Sour Cream & Onion, as well as another limited edition flavor that I’ve spent the last 400 words not talking about: Jumpin’ Jack! If you’ve spent the last year throwing pennies into fountains wishing you had more Sour Cream & Onion Doritos, save that change and use it to buy a bag, because they’re back! Sorry, Salsa Rio fans Doritos doesn’t think you’re good enough. They came, they went, you cried, you complained, or, if you’re me, you were generally indifferent. Unlike Señor Taco, however, they truly were limited editions. Like their taco-flavored brother, these flavors also came out in their original retro packaging.
Don’t read the first part of that post I just realized everything I wrote above about Taco Doritos I also said in that review. Realizing they were onto something, Doritos decided to reintroduce two more flavors: Sour Cream & Onion and Salsa Rio. Originally intended as a limited edition flavor, the outcry over Taco Doritos was so deafening that they almost immediately announced that it would be staying on store shelves, and to this very day you can pick up a bag (retro or current design!) and decide for yourself if you want to be nostalgic or outraged. It was the Hatfield and McCoy of tortilla chips. It was a war between the “tastes just like I remember”s and the “tastes nothing like the original”s. My Taco Doritos review got more comments than any other review I’ve done.
That iconic bag! That flavor you remember as a child!
The response was immediate and controversial. They even gave it the retro packaging treatment. Those popper chips were part of the inspiration for Junk Food Betty, and I always get snaxcited (registered trademark on that word forthcoming) when the people at Doritos snort some flavor powder and come out with a wacky new flavor.Ī few years ago, however, someone got back on their medication and came up with the grand idea to introduce a long-retired flavor: Taco Flavor Doritos. It may sound like I’m being disparaging, but it’s really quite the contrary. Over the years, they’ve introduced us to such gems as BBQ pork rib-flavored chips, cheeseburger-flavored chips, and even jalapeño popper-flavored chips.
