'''Doritos''' ({{IPAc-en|d|ə|ˈ|r|iː|t|oʊ|z}}) is an American brand of flavored [[tortilla chips]] produced by [[Frito-Lay]], a wholly owned [[subsidiary]] of [[PepsiCo]].<ref name="West">{{Cite news |last=Shapiro |first=T.

In 1966, Doritos became the first tortilla chip available nationally in the United States. The initial flavor was simply toasted corn, followed by taco in 1967, and the now-ubiquitous nacho cheese in 1972.<ref name="Maxim" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=History |url=http://historyofdoritos.weebly.com/history.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210603041547/https://historyofdoritos.weebly.com/history.html |archive-date=June 3, 2021 |access-date=May 30, 2021 |website=A History of Doritos (a history project)}}</ref> Now, the chips are available worldwide in a wide variety of flavors, differing regionally.

Doritos has also gained notability for its marketing campaigns, including ads aired during [[Super Bowl]]s. The Doritos brand is also used for similarly seasoned products, like Doritos 3D and taco shells at [[Taco Bell]].

== History ==

The term ''dorito'' is a contraction of Spanish ''doradito'' (little fried and golden thing), which is a diminutive of ''dorado'' (fried and golden thing).{{cn|date=May 2025}}

The original product was made at the Casa de Fritos (now Rancho Del Zocalo) at [[Disneyland]] in [[Anaheim, California]], during the early 1960s. Using surplus tortillas and {{Citation needed span|taking inspiration from a traditional Mexican snack known as [[totopo]]|date=September 2024}}, the company-owned restaurant cut them into smaller pieces, fried them, and added basic seasoning. [[Arch West]] was the vice president of marketing of Frito-Lay at the time, and noticed their popularity. He made a deal in 1964 with Alex Foods, the provider of many items for Casa de Fritos at Disneyland, and produced the chips for a short time regionally, before it was overwhelmed by the volume, and Frito-Lay moved the production in-house to its [[Tulsa, Oklahoma|Tulsa]] plant.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gustavo Arellano |date=April 5, 2012 |title=How Doritos Were Born at Disneyland |url=https://www.ocweekly.com/how-doritos-were-born-at-disneyland-6421662/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180628195340/https://www.ocweekly.com/how-doritos-were-born-at-disneyland-6421662/ |archive-date=June 28, 2018 |access-date=October 22, 2012 |website=OC Weekly}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Gustavo Arellano |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mbUwNDfOBxQC&q=Taco+USA%3A+How+Mexican+Food+Conquered+America |title=Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America |date=2013 |publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]] |isbn=9781439148624 |pages=208–209 |access-date=15 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230715054936/https://books.google.com/books?id=mbUwNDfOBxQC&q=Taco+USA%3A+How+Mexican+Food+Conquered+America |archive-date=July 15, 2023 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Doritos were released nationwide in 1966, the first tortilla chip to be launched nationally in the United States.<ref name="Bashin">{{Cite web |last=Bashin |first=Kim |title=The Psychological Secrets Behind Nacho Cheese Doritos |url=http://www.businessinsider.com/nacho-cheese-doritos-brand-2012-12 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150221204750/http://www.businessinsider.com/nacho-cheese-doritos-brand-2012-12 |archive-date=February 21, 2015 |access-date=January 17, 2015 |publisher=Business Insider}}</ref>

According to Information Resources International, in 1993, Doritos earned $1.2 billion in retail sales, one-third of the total Frito-Lay sales for the year.

The company was sued in 1993 by Charles Grady, who claimed that his throat had been damaged while eating Doritos. According to his lawsuit, the shape and rigidity of the chips made them inherently dangerous.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Grady v. Frito-Lay |url=https://cases.justia.com/pennsylvania/superior-court/e02007_01.pdf?ts=1396142159 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211208051011/https://cases.justia.com/pennsylvania/superior-court/e02007_01.pdf?ts=1396142159 |archive-date=December 8, 2021 |access-date=September 28, 2020}}</ref> Grady attempted to admit into evidence a study by a former chemistry professor that calculated how best to safely swallow the chips. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court later ruled that the study did not meet scientific standards and could not be presented as evidence.<ref name=collier/>

In the costliest redesign in Frito-Lay history, in 1994 the company spent $50 million to redesign Doritos. Roger J. Berdusco, the vice president of tortilla chip marketing, said a primary reason for the change was "greater competition from restaurant-style tortilla chips, that are larger and more strongly seasoned".<ref name="collins">{{Cite news |last=Collins |first=Glenn |date=November 3, 1994 |title=Pepsico Pushes a Star Performer |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/11/03/business/pepsico-pushes-a-star-performer.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130120192843/http://www.nytimes.com/1994/11/03/business/pepsico-pushes-a-star-performer.html |archive-date=January 20, 2013 |access-date=November 12, 2008 |work=New York Times}}</ref> The design change was the result of a two-year market research study that involved 5,000 chip eaters. The new design made the chips 20% larger, 15% thinner, and gave each chip rounded corners, making it easier to eat and reducing the scrap resulting from broken corners. Each chip was also given more seasoning, resulting in a stronger flavor. The redesigned chips were released in four flavors beginning in January 1995.<ref name=collins/>

In the United States, Frito-Lay eliminated [[trans fat]] from all Doritos varieties in 2002. The same year, the Doritos brand began complying with the [[Food and Drug Administration]] labeling regulations, four years before the regulations became mandatory.<ref name="collier">{{Cite news |last=Collier |first=Gene |date=January 7, 2004 |title=An Expert Weighs in on the Dorito Case |url=http://www.post-gazette.com/columnists/20040107gene0107p1.asp |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201124230/http://www.post-gazette.com/columnists/20040107gene0107p1.asp |archive-date=December 1, 2008 |access-date=November 12, 2008 |work=[[Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]] |location=[[Pittsburgh]]}}</ref>

In 2005, sales of Doritos in the United States fell by 1.7% to $595 million. To increase sales in 2006, the company launched several new flavors, a new label, and more bilingual advertising. Frito-Lay vice president Joe Ennen described this as "the most significant rebranding and relaunch in Doritos' 38-year history."<ref name="vanriper">{{Cite news |last=Van Riper |first=Tom |date=January 9, 2006 |title=PepsiCo to Zest Up Doritos Campaign |url=https://www.forbes.com/markets/emergingmarkets/2006/01/09/pepsi-frito-lay-0109markets09.html |access-date=November 12, 2008 |work=Forbes}}{{dead link|date=January 2022|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

==Ingredients==
The original plain chips (Toasted Corn, a discontinued US variety as of 2019, but available in the UK branded as 'Lightly Salted') are made of ground corn ([[maize]]), vegetable oil, and salt. Other ingredients vary across the flavored chip varieties. Doritos made for the US market generally do not use pork-derived animal [[rennet]] in the making of the cheese flavorings used on the chip.<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 18, 2012 |title=U.S. Products Made Without Pork (Porcine) Enzymes |url=http://www.fritolay.com/your-health/us-products-made-without-porcine-enzymes.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130116071222/http://www.fritolay.com/your-health/us-products-made-without-porcine-enzymes.html |archive-date=January 16, 2013 |access-date=October 22, 2012 |publisher=Frito-Lay |df=mdy-all}}</ref>

In 1996, ''[[The Onion]]'', a satirical newspaper and website, featured an article with the headline "Doritos Celebrates One Millionth Ingredient", lampooning Frito-Lay for the sheer number of ingredients found in Doritos.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 14, 1996 |title=Doritos Celebrates One Millionth Ingredient |url=http://www.theonion.com/articles/doritos-celebrates-one-millionth-ingredient,19914 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120821172424/http://www.theonion.com/articles/doritos-celebrates-one-millionth-ingredient,19914/ |archive-date=August 21, 2012 |access-date=October 22, 2012 |website=The Onion}}</ref>

==Flavors==
Doritos are sold in many countries worldwide in assorted flavors. They launched nationally in the United States in 1966,<ref name="Bashin" /> with only one flavor: Toasted Corn.<ref name="Maxim" /> The product proved successful, but additional market research revealed that many consumers outside the Southwest and West considered the chip to be too bland and not spicy enough for what was perceived as a Mexican snack. Frito-Lay therefore developed taco-flavored Doritos, which also became successful after they were introduced nationally in 1967.<ref name="Maxim" /> National distribution of nacho cheese-flavored Doritos began in 1972, and they were also popular.<ref name="Maxim">{{Cite web |last=Edwards |first=Gavin |date=January 31, 2012 |title=The Legend Doritos: How One Snack Came To Rule Them All |url=http://www.maxim.com/entertainment/legend-doritos |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201112031915/https://www.maxim.com/entertainment/legend-doritos |archive-date=November 12, 2020 |access-date=March 9, 2017 |publisher=Maxim}}</ref> In 1978, Sour Cream and Onion flavored Doritos were introduced, but were discontinued in the early 1980s. A Sesame seed flavored chip was also available for a short time during 1978-79.<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 4, 2007 |title=Doritos Sour Cream & Onion commercial |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24IQlY8ONmc |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211114/24IQlY8ONmc |archive-date=2021-11-14 |access-date=October 22, 2012 |publisher=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Around 1985, the original taco flavor recipe was altered to include a sour cream flavoring. In 1986, Cool Ranch Doritos made their debut and also became popular.<ref name="Maxim" /> Cool Ranch Doritos are sold under the name "Cool Original" in the UK and are called "Cool American" elsewhere in Europe, as [[ranch dressing]] is less common in those places.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lapetina |first=Adam |date=January 20, 2015 |title=In Some Countries, "Cool Ranch" Doritos Are Called "Cool American" |url=https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/cool-ranch-doritos-are-called-cool-american-in-europe |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200508034459/http://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/cool-ranch-doritos-are-called-cool-american-in-europe |archive-date=May 8, 2020 |access-date=May 8, 2020 |website=Thrillist |language=en}}</ref>

In the 1990s, in partnership with parent company PepsiCo's fast food brands, two new flavors of Doritos were introduced, [[Taco Bell]]'s Taco Supreme (incorporating a "beef" flavoring that was quite different from the original 1960s "Taco" incarnation) and [[Pizza Hut]]'s Pizza Cravers. After PepsiCo [[Yum! Brands|spun off its restaurant division in 1997]], the flavors were simply renamed taco and pizza, respectively, with the pizza flavor discontinued in some markets. At around the same time, due to the popularity of Frito-Lay's [[Tostitos]] brand the unflavored Toasted Corn was briefly discontinued, then brought back. In 2008, the Taco Bell (complete with the brand name attached) flavor was temporarily re-released under the "Back by Popular Demand" label along with Four Cheese.

In 1990, Jumpin' Jack Monterey Cheese flavored Doritos were introduced. This flavor was later discontinued. In 1995, Chester's Cheese Doritos were available for a limited time. This flavor introduced the familiar Cheetos flavor cheese on the typical Doritos tortilla chip.<ref>{{Cite web |date=November 7, 1995 |title=Most cheese lovers with love new chips |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19951107&id=KKspAAAAIBAJ&pg=3164,4248741 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220319073524/https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19951107&id=KKspAAAAIBAJ&pg=3164,4248741 |archive-date=March 19, 2022 |access-date=November 20, 2013 |website=Deseret News}}</ref> In 1997, Spicy Nacho was introduced.

For a brief period in 2004, Doritos introduced new shape and form called "Rollitos", which were [[corn chip]]s shaped into small tubes, like a regular triangular Dorito was "rolled" up. Rollitos flavors included Nacho Cheesier, Zesty Taco, Cooler Ranch and Queso Picante. In 2013, this idea was reintroduced and rebranded as "Dinamitas", or little sticks of dynamite. There are two varieties, a chili lime combo (similar to [[Takis Fuego]]), and the Mojo Criollo (Creole magic), a lemon-lime and garlic flavored rolled Doritos. Dinamitas differs slightly in style than Rollitos. Rollitos had the chips baked, the tube formed with an oil-submersible box press to fry. Currently it is rolled into a tube before the baking and frying, a much simpler process.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wooba.com – Doritos Rollitos Review |url=http://www.wooba.com/reviews/rollitos/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130116071401/http://www.wooba.com/reviews/rollitos/ |archive-date=January 16, 2013 |access-date=November 1, 2012 |website=wooba.com}}</ref>

Six versions of "Doritos Collisions", which include two different flavors in the same bag, have been produced. Those varieties of Doritos Collisions are Hot Wings/Blue Cheese, Zesty Taco/Chipotle Ranch, Habanero/Guacamole, Cheesy Enchilada/Sour Cream, Pizza Cravers/Ranch, and Blaze/Ultimate Cheddar.<ref name="collisions">{{Cite web |title=Collisions page at Doritos.com |url=http://collisions.doritos.com/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071212153714/http://collisions.doritos.com/ |archive-date=December 12, 2007 |access-date=July 15, 2009 |publisher=Collisions.doritos.com |df=mdy-all}}</ref>

In 2007, Doritos ran a campaign called "Doritos X-13D Flavor Experiment" where black, unidentified bags of Doritos were on the market for consumers to identify and name the flavor. The only flavor identification on these chips was "All American Classic".<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Helm |first=Burt |date=25 June 2007 |title=O.K.

Reincarnations and relaunches of taco-flavored Doritos, including the 2008 "Back By Popular Demand" campaign, were different from the original taco flavor (a sour cream flavor had been added to the recipe around 1985). The taco chips included in the Zesty Taco and Chipotle Ranch "Collisions" bags were thought by customers to be closer to the original, but were later discontinued in most of the United States.<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 13, 2000 |title=Endangered and Extinct: Taco flavored Doritos |url=http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/286559 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120815033919/http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/286559 |archive-date=August 15, 2012 |access-date=October 22, 2012 |publisher=Chowhound.chow.com}}</ref> In late 2010, the modified taco flavor recipe introduced in the mid 1980s returned in a limited edition "retro" styled bag incorporating the original Doritos logo, and in early 2011, Frito-Lay announced that this incarnation would remain in the permanent product line-up.<ref>{{Cite web |date=December 22, 2010 |title=Snack Chat: Feeling Retro?

In 2008, Doritos debuted a "mystery flavor" Quests with prizes being given as puzzles were solved. The mystery flavor was [[Mountain Dew]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Koski |first=Genevieve |date=June 17, 2008 |title=Taste Test: Mountain Dew "Quest" Doritos |url=https://www.thetakeout.com:443/taste-test-mountain-dew-quest-doritos-1798214290/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090427220152/http://www.avclub.com/articles/taste-test-mountain-dew-quest-doritos%2C2344/ |archive-date=April 27, 2009 |access-date=July 15, 2009 |publisher=A.V.

They also modified the X-13D Flavor as All Nighter [[Cheeseburger]].

2010 saw the release of three successively spicy "Degree Burn" flavors (Blazin' Jalapeño/Jalapeño Fire, Fiery Buffalo and Scorchin' Habanero), cross promoted to "cool down" with [[Pepsi]]'s lime "Cease Fire/Max Citrus Freeze", and the [[wasabi]]-flavored Mr. Dragon's Fire Chips. 2010 saw the introduction of Doritos to New Zealand and with it flavors including Nacho Cheese, Cheese Supreme, Salted, and Salsa.

In the spring of 2011, a [[Tapatío hot sauce|Tapatio]] hot sauce flavor was released. In February 2011, Doritos Canada ran a competition to write the end of a commercial for two new flavors ("Onion Rings n' Ketchup" and "Blazin' Buffalo and Ranch"), and to vote for which of the two flavors would be taken off shelves when the contest ended.

===Super Bowl===
For many years, Doritos [[Super Bowl commercials|advertised heavily during the]] [[Super Bowl]]. According to Thomas L. Harris's ''Value-Added Public Relations'', "the most-used single video news release of 1995" was a Doritos Super Bowl Commercial featuring recently defeated US state governors [[Mario Cuomo]] and [[Ann Richards]]. The pair were discussing change and the ad ended with viewers aware that the change they referred to was not political, but rather a new packaging for Doritos. The ad generated a great deal of publicity before it ever ran and much discussion afterward. The governors later parodied their ad; when they were interviewed on the [[CBS news]] program ''[[60 Minutes]]'', the two were often seen eating Doritos.<ref name="harris112">Harris (1999), p. 112.</ref>

In 1998, Doritos cast former [[Miss USA]] [[Ali Landry]] in a new Super Bowl Commercial. In the ad, filmed in a Laundromat, she plays a sexy customer who catches Doritos chips in her mouth as they come flying helter-skelter. The ad was such a success that Frito-Lay signed Landry, who became known as "The Doritos Girl," to a three-year contract.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Horovitz |first=Bruce |date=February 1, 2002 |title=From zero to hero in 30 seconds flat |url=https://www.usatoday.com/money/covers/2002-02-01-super-bowl-ads.htm#more |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107152102/http://www.usatoday.com/money/covers/2002-02-01-super-bowl-ads.htm#more |archive-date=January 7, 2009 |access-date=November 12, 2008 |work=USA Today}}</ref>

For [[Super Bowl XLI#Advertising|Super Bowl XLI]], Doritos launched a contest, [[Crash the Super Bowl]], to allow consumers to create their own Doritos commercial. The general public was allowed to vote for their favorite of five finalists. According to Doritos, the vote was so close that just before the game the company decided to run two of the ads rather than just one. Both commercials finished highly in ratings of commercials during this Super Bowl.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Elliott |first=Stuart |date=February 6, 2007 |title=Thanks to the Web, the Scorekeeping on the Super Bowl has just begun |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/06/business/media/06adco.html?_r=1&adxnnlx=1170866695-JT30AKfez1R%20Csnkn/hHvA&pagewanted=all |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130530175152/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/06/business/media/06adco.html?_r=1&adxnnlx=1170866695-JT30AKfez1R%20Csnkn/hHvA&pagewanted=all |archive-date=May 30, 2013 |access-date=November 12, 2008 |work=New York Times}}</ref> [[Super Bowl XLII#Commercials|The following year]], Doritos sponsored a contest to find a musician to feature in a Super Bowl ad.

For [[Nannerpus|Super Bowl XLIII]], Doritos relaunched the fan-created commercials, with the winning vote going to the "Free Doritos" ad, which featured an office worker (portrayed by comedian Steve Booth) with a [[snow globe]] (believing it to be a [[crystal ball]]) "predicting" that everyone in the office would get free Doritos, then subsequently throws the snow globe into a [[vending machine]] selling nothing but Nacho Cheese & Cool Ranch Doritos.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 27, 2009 |title=Doritos Super Bowl XLIII Commercial: Free Doritos! |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPhabSD02X4 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120213021013/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPhabSD02X4 |archive-date=2012-02-13 |access-date=July 15, 2009 |publisher=YouTube}}</ref> The commercial was ranked by the [[USA Today Super Bowl Ad Meter]] as the best ad for the year, earning the creators of the ad&nbsp;– Joe and Dave Herbert&nbsp;– a $1 million prize.<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 16, 2009 |title=null |url=http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090418214424/http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp |archive-date=April 18, 2009 |access-date=July 15, 2009 |website=Editor and Publisher |df=mdy}}</ref> They again aired two ads during the game ads and the second place ad also placed in the top five according to [[USA Today]].

Another popular commercial from the group of finalist included an executive making a presentation to other executives on a new (fictional) Doritos flavor called "Doritos Beer", which, as the name implies, is [[beer]]-flavored Doritos, with each chip containing as much [[alcohol (drug)|alcohol]] as an equivalent of a 16-oz. can of beer.

For the Super Bowl XLIV Doritos aired the "House Rules" commercial, as a "Crash the Super Bowl" finalist. It was ranked by [[ADBOWL]] as the second best ad of the year.

For [[Super Bowl XLVI]], an ad aired featuring a Grandma and a baby attempting to get a bag of Doritos by a slingshot activated by a wheelchair. The bag was stolen by a child, constantly teasing them in the process. The baby reaches the bag and steals it back with just enough force to reach it. Flattering the child, Grandma and the baby eat the Doritos with ease.

For [[Super Bowl XLIX]], the ad featured a father offering a large bag of Doritos to his son only if he made pigs fly. The son then proceeded to attach rockets to a pig and the father then gave the bag of Doritos to his son.
