Chip Niche

Just yesterday, while I was working at the library, a middle-aged Korean woman told me that I'm a very handsome man.
And it got me to thinking...Maybe it's all these Doritos I've been eating.
They have so many varieties and each type has different health benefits. About a week ago, I had "Spicy Sweet Chili" Doritos. I've been told this has the same nutritional value as a bowl of chili.
Today, I enjoyed a bag of "Late Night Last Call Jalapeno Popper Doritos." Okay, they were mediocre, but I was surprised that I was able to eat them in the middle of the day. The convenience store on the corner makes them available 24 hours, contrary to the label. There is also "Late Night Tacos at Midnight Doritos," which should be at least applauded for rhyming (how many words can you think of that rhyme with "night" besides "midnight?" I sure can't come with any). I hope they taste like carne asada, because that's what I expect from Frito-Lay.
I'm not the first person to honor Doritos. It shouldn't be a surprise that he beat me to it:

What new flavors can we expect from Doritos in the future? Here are a few ideas:
1. Green Tea Torque
2. Loads n' Loads n' Loads of Chipotle
3. Startlin' Soy Sauce
4. American Cheddar (in support of our troops)
5. Collisions: Sweet Ginger/Paprika Pow!der
6. Crab Leg Onion
7. Jamaican Jerk
8. Thousand Island
9. Flamin' Fondue
10. Mountainous Mushroom

  1. I'm holding out for the apple pie a-la-mode doritos. Or the crispy bacon doritos.

    And instead of having women tell me how handsome I am, I more frequently have women get on my bus, see that the seat next to me is the only one still open, and decide that they'd rather stand.
