February 18 11

We are big fans of Doritos at our house. The truth is, we are big fans of any snack that leaves our fingers orange and cheesy. We have tried every flavor. Cool Ranch. Sweet Chili Heat. Zesty Taco. Spicy Nacho. Jalapeno. Even Cheeseburger. Yes, even Cheeseburger. 99.9% of the time we end up coming back to the tried-and-true original flavor, because, really, it’s pretty much perfection in a triangle.

But, that doesn’t mean we don’t jump at the chance to try the new flavors.

So, when two bags of two very different varieties of Doritos showed up on my doorstep, I quickly opened up them up and got my three pint-sized taste testers to decide if it was

that we liked the best.

Chip A, Onion Rings N’ Ketchup or Chip B: Buffalo Wings N’ Ranch.

The interesting thing with this Doritos campaign is that they aren’t just introducing two new flavors. They are introducing two and leaving it up to YOU to decide which one stays and which one gets destroyed forever. It’s true. Until March 13th, Canadian consumers have a chance to head on over to theร‚ย WRITE THE END website and compose the last twenty seconds of an unfinished Doritos commercial that destroys one of these two flavors.

THE PRIZE? $25,000 and 1% of future sales from the winning flavor.

Worth playing for, eh?

(PS. The Martells are creating their ending destroying the Buffalo Wings N’ Ranch, because, ew, none of us liked that one!)

But not only do I want my lovely readers to be able to win $25,000 from the WRITE THE END site, I want YOU to be able to win something here! So, I have up for grabs a Doritos prize pack (worth over $150) including tshirts and mugs and movies that start with their endings (like Pulp Fiction, Inception, and Memento) AND the two new Doritos flavors for you to try. To win, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your absolute most favorite Doritos flavor EVER.

The contest is open to all Canadians and will run from today, February 18th, until 5pm EST next Friday, February 25th. Winner will be selected randomly by random.org. Good luck!

(In the interest of full disclosure, I was approached by Fleishman-Hillard Canada to participate in this Doritos program. All opinions expressed here are my own and definitely do not represent Doritos.)

  1. I hear the Sweet Chili Heat flavor so much. My kids don’t like it, they prefer the original flavor but I’m totally okay with NOT sharing.

  3. I like Cool Ranch Doritos, but only in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

  4. I love the Safeway knockoffs the best!

  5. I haven’t tried the onion rings one (only us Canucks seem to enjoy ketchup flavored snacks… what’s up with that?!?) but, um, I really like the buffalo wings and ranch ones.

    Don’t hate me… surPRIZE me.

    Because, clearly, I’m punny.

    I’m pretty sure if I were to win that cone-like director’s thingy would get me fired from my job. And it would be worth it!

    You know what’s actually gross? Sandwiches made by Adam. Just saying…

  6. Hey – it’s good – you should try it!

    Comment by Avitable on February 19, 2011
  7. My ultimate favourite is Sweet Chilli Heat! But honestly, I have not met a Dorito chip that I did not love! They are perfectly crisp with always the right enough amount of flavour!!! And when you think the fun is over ’cause the bag of chips is done. The best part is left (the stuff on your fingers!) Haha I love that commercial that was on t.v.during the super bowl!

  8. The first is still the best. But I really like the Baked version. They seem to add soooooo much more orangey-powdery taste to them…perhaps to make up for the fact that the awesomeness is perched on paper ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. CRAP! Just saw the Canadian part…nevermind…

    Comment by LibraryGirl62 on February 19, 2011
  10. I really dig the Cool Ranch – especially the licking my fingers afterward part, but I know how disgusting that is, so I only do it at home. And they’re awesome in sandwiches, but not PB&J; ew.

  11. My faaaaaavorite is the Cool Ranch.

    My husband hates that flavor, so it works well for me. Tried the cheeseburger ones a bit ago … yuck. I like pretty much all the other ones though.

    Now I wanna head out and find those two new flavors. I’m thinking I’ll like the ketchupy ones. Doritos are a perfectly acceptable breakfast food, right??

  12. The original Doritos are still my favourite… makes me think of high school Friday night dance parties. Doritos, sourpatch kids and coke… our snacks of choice!

    Comment by kp on February 19, 2011
  13. What?? You didn’t like buffalo wing flavoured chips??? My gut instinct would be to choose that one over the other without even trying them! But trying would be more scientific-like so sign me up! My favourite Doritos at this point are the Sweet Chili Heat flavour!

    Comment by Shannon on February 19, 2011
  14. I love Nacho Cheese and Zesty Cheese equally. I like to mix them together.

    Comment by edmontonjb on February 19, 2011
  15. I like Cool Ranch but it has been forever since I have had some.

    Comment by Jen on February 19, 2011
  16. Zesty cheese all the way. Especially (as I learned in uni) when they’ve been in the freezer for an hour or two.

    Comment by Alison on February 19, 2011
  17. I have tried them all but keep coming back to the Zesty Cheese Doritos over and over again! I can’t wait to try the ketchup Doritos!!

    Comment by Sueellen on February 19, 2011
  18. I love all doritos, but forced to pick, I would go with Sweet Chili Heat.

    Comment by Shan on February 19, 2011
  19. SWEET CHILI HEAT.

    It’s like crack to me. Not that I’ve ever done crack but, you know.

    Comment by Angella on February 19, 2011
  20. I am a Cool Ranch Girl! Have been since I was a teenager!

    Comment by Aurora on February 19, 2011
  21. I’m an original girl, through and through. With cool ranch thrown in there occasionally. But they remind me of sleepovers where we’d stay up late gorging on doritos, skittles and mountain dew.

    Comment by Just Shireen on February 20, 2011
  22. Cool Ranch got me thru dateless nights and first job nerves and 2 pregnancies – is that bad?

    Comment by marci o'connor on February 20, 2011

    Comment by Erin Faye on February 20, 2011
  24. Wings & Ranch………yuck!
    My favorite is Cool Ranch…YUM!

    Comment by Dina on February 20, 2011
  25. the original zesty cheese is the best, sweet chili heat is the best “new” flavour for me so far, would love to try these new flavours though!

    Comment by Maria on February 21, 2011
  26. I like cool ranch and Nacho cheese. I’d be hard pressed to choose a favorite. Come to think of it, I might not be the best person to win this package but I’m entering anyway.

    Comment by jackie on February 21, 2011
  27. I like the sweet chili heat the best but really want to try the two new flavours.

    Comment by Sharon on February 21, 2011
  28. I really love Sweet Chili Heat these days…but Cool Ranch Doritos always remind me of high school… biology class to be exact. It was the class right after lunch and I always saved my Cool Ranch Dorito’s till then. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Comment by Shelly on February 22, 2011
  29. I love the Nacho Doritos buy my husband and 3 1/2 year old daughter and cat, (yes, even our cat!) love the Cool Ranch best.

    Comment by Nellie on February 23, 2011

    Comment by gloria on February 24, 2011

  36. I vote A definately. Can’t find where to vote, but if A doesn’t win no more doritos for me. B has a nasty after taste. If anyone knows where to vote, let me know please?

  37. Andrew Schneider: “Ever since we crawled out of that primordial slime, that’s been our unifying cry, More light. Sunlight. Torchlight. Candlight. Neon, incandescent lights that banish the darkness from our caves to illuminate our roads, the insides of our refrigerators. Big floods for the night games at Soldier’s field. Little tiny flashlights for those books we read under the covers when we’re supposed to be asleep. Light is more than watts and footcandles. Light is metaphor. Light is knowledge, light is life, light is light.”
