As of yet, it is not known whether the two dips are here for a limited time or a permanent debut, so customers are advised to try the new dips at the earliest. Doritos' stock of debut items often flies off the shelves fast.


Introduced in 1964, Doritos is an American brand that specializes in flavored tortilla chips. The brand produces its chips under Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo. However, their iconic chips were not flavored from the beginning.

The idea for the flavored chip originated at a Disneyland in California.

The brand started selling its first flavored tortilla chip featuring the Toasted Corn flavor in 1966. Other flavors that followed were Taco (1967), and Nacho Cheese (1972. Ever since then, the brand has never looked back. Currently, the total number of Doritos flavors to have ever existed crosses the mark of 100.
