What is your socially unacceptable guilty indulgence? (feddit.uk)

Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I'm now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest...

What the heck is a plain dorito

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

A tortilla chip.

Doritos are to tortilla chips as Potato Chips are to Flavored Potato Chips. They both rely on a dusting of flavor on a type of chip.

The flavoured kind, sure. But I'm talking about these - do these not qualify as a proper tortilla chip? They are just Corn, Rapeseed Oil, Salt and Anti-oxidants.

The salt ones aren't the plain ones, the ones in the blue bag are

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago

Huh? Not for us. The blue bag in the UK are their 'Cool' flavour, which IIRC is lime-y ish kinda.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 10 points 10 months ago (4 children)

They actually sell those!

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 8 points 10 months ago

Wow TIL. Around here there are so many plain chip options, and Doritos are exclusively flavor blasted.

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Blasphemy

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It’s even weirder. Not only was that the original flavor and the namesake of the brand, it was also the first brand of tortilla chips sold outside socal

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

At least here i remember them being in blue bags

[–] pisstoria@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Apparently PepsiCo just sells unseasoned tortilla chips under the Doritos brand in the UK.

[–] Facky@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

The UK? That checks out.
