    Doritos jumps on throwback bandwagon

    Just saw a bag of Taco Doritos in Dollar General today in an old style bag.

    I saw those at the grocery over the weekend. Thought it was very cool to see.

      Thanks for the heads up!!! I think Taco flavor was the only flavor besides plain until Nacho Cheese came along.

      I dig the throwback stuff. (Just bought a few Pepsi throwback 12-packs yesterday....in Dollar General come to think of it.)

                      Maybe he did Cheetos, as well, but I remember him doing Doritos (as "Maurice") from my earliest memories WAAAY up until the late 1980s.

                        one of my favorite parts in the first highlander movie is seeing the one cop eat Doritos, since it's a bag from 1985/86 time ... that's about the time I first fell in love with that nacho cheese flavor crunch

                          Remember the Frito Bandito?




                          I used to collect the Frito Bandito's erasers...I loved those little suckers...




                          Check out this very early Frito Bandito commercial...

                            Don't show him to Ricardo Montalbon

                            I think Ricardo hated Mexican portrayals like that with a passion.

                              I also saw the Taco flavor ones in the store. It's interesting to note that the bag doesn't have an actual clear round window like the actual old bag but the "window" is actually a picture of the chips.
