Ramsviews: Flavors!

July 4th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Welcome to the first edition of Ramsey Reviews (or for short, Ramsview). Today’s review:

Doritos Quest

Doritos: The Quest


I love a good twist ending. I could be watching the worst movie in the world (The Village), and so long as it has a twist ending (like the one found in The Village) it will completely redeem itself for me in the last few minutes. It is through this tortured logic that I purchased a bag of Doritos: The Quest when all I wanted was a bottle of water.

Me Eating a Dorito
Yes, I actually took a picture of me eating the mystery chip for the website.

 Like last summer’s X-13D, Doritos: The Quest dares you to figure out what flavor it is putting in your mouth. With this product, the concept of freedom is completely gone. You want Nacho Cheesier? Too bad. Doritos tells you what you want.

Not only do you not know what flavor you are getting before you buy the bag, you really don’t know after you buy the bag. It’s not printed on the inside of the bag, or on the chip. Instead, you have to search on Google, find my dumb blog and then read this post. Answer: they taste like those “Hint of Lime” chips from Tostitos, but with more citrus. Basically, Mountain Dew.

Reaction
The Dorito turned me into Jim Halpert!

So, should you buy these chips? As far as I can see, there are two reasons for you to do so. #1, you want to prove me wrong by saying they don’t taste a thing like Mountain Dew, or #2, you hate freedom.

2.5/5

    if you stare at your heads long enough, the heads that don’t have heads get optical illusion heads.

    I just wasted 10 minutes trying to confirm what varley said and it isn’t true!

    Do they have dairy? I’m allergic to dairy. Also freedom.

    the quest to fool xiao is fulfilled.

    As far as I can tell, Sir Ess, Mountain Dew is freedom; sweet hyper-caffeinated, shit-tasting freedom.
