We had to try these. If we’re in the mood for a crunchy, deep-fried processed chip-type snack, chances are very high that we’re reaching for a bag of Doritos. Unless we’re buying blue corn tortilla chips (Whole Foods) for dipping, that is.
Three Test Flavors
Test Flavor 2653
In our eyes, these were the clear winners. They’re the most unique and interesting of all three test flavors. They have a bit of a chipotle bbq spice vibe with a hefty dose of smoky bacon and a little dark chocolate mole thrown in for kicks and giggles.

These could easily be the epitome of generic cayenne spice. After one taste, we simultaneously said, “Doesn’t this flavor exist already?” But, they are quite tasty and keep you reaching for more. They’re clearly using that magic balance of sweet:salty ratio that makes chips the addictive thing that they are. This flavor reminded us of the Flamin’ Hot spice with an added creamy cheese note and a generous touch of extra sweetness. That sweetness mellows the heat.
Test Flavor 404
These instantly wake up your taste buds with a zippy burst of citrus followed by an odd rush of sweetness. Hmm, are they some sort of tequila lime flavor? Maybe.
But, sorry, who wants to fork over a bunch of personal information for a very VERY slim chance to win $1000? Not us. No, thank you.
