What is your socially unacceptable guilty indulgence? (self.asklemmy)

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 8 months ago* (last edited 8 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 2 points 8 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 8 months ago (4 children)

They actually sell those!

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

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

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Blasphemy

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 8 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 8 months ago

At least here i remember them being in blue bags

[–] pisstoria@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Facky@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

The UK? That checks out.

It's a European thing lol
