Doritos Blazin' Buffalo and Ranch



Price:   $3.99 for a 12 oz. bag

Color / Appearance:  Triangular cut tortilla chips.  Well coated with an orange flavoring powder.

Flavor:   No actual buffalo flavoring could be detected.  There was a heat that built up on your tongue after a few chips.  A slight aftertaste of ranch was barely there.  Have to note that after eating several chips my mouth developed a sort of paste like feeling at the back of my throat.

Chip Quality:   Excellent.  These chips were very uniform in size and crunch.

Overall:  These are not very good chips.  I feel like Doritos are heavily reliant on the flavoring that they put on their chips.  Their chips do not posses a stand alone quality.  So for them to put out a chip that offers heat and very little else.  Makes for a poor snacking experience.  One of the signs to me of a great chip.  Is how many of them I will eat before rolling up the bag and putting them in the cabinet.  Sometimes I will eat an entire bag.  If the chips are good.  This bag is already back in the cabinet.
