Win a year's supply of Doritos for naming X-13D

Posted May 22nd 2007 9:00AM by Joe DiStefanoFiled under: Snacks, Beef, Cheese, Food Oddities, America

I'm an absolute sucker for novel junk-food packaging. Doritos X-13D stopped me dead in my tracks when I was at 7-Eleven the other night. The white panel read "This is the X-13D Flavor Experiment. Objective: Taste and name Doritos flavor X-13D." I felt as if it were my civic duty to name this flavor, so I purchased two bags. I also wanted to win a years supply of the orange-colored treats. Mmm...powdered cheese.I munched on a few on the walk home. They tasted vaguely of something familiar. The front of the package has a line that reads, "All American Classic." After I thought about it for a while I figured out what X-13D tastes like, and it is indeed a classic. It also helps explain why beef tallow and pickle juice are among the ingredients.I went to X-13D with the intention of entering my name for this experimental snack. The jet-black pages, creepy futuristic music and Flash animations including a 3-D rotating animation of the package that displays the name you've chosen led me to believe that is a Web site created by stoners for stoners. I imagine eight-year-olds kids typing "Monkey Poo" and such, laughing their heads off. Don't worry, that's not the name I chose for X-13D. Actually I never officially entered since I couldn't get the dang site to cooperate with my dinosaur of a PC. The contest ends July 14. Can't get X-13D where you live? Worry not, some genius is selling them on eBay for $9.99 a bag. I'm not sure if it's the large size or not. Either way, that's a ridiculous markup.

23. First Few Bites: Cheezberger!
After that: Too much vinegar!!!

After the third chip, the attempt to duplicate pickles/mustard/relish... all I could tasted was the vinegar... Even with a bottomless teenager in the house, the bag is still 3/4 full after a couple of days... I won't be buying them...

25. I am a Doritos fanatic!!! Doritos are my absolute favorite snack in the world! I was excited when I saw that they came out with a new flavor/experiment (the bag was catchy too!). I smelled the bag before I tasted it. And I knew right away it was something with ketchup and cheese. All American- ketchup and cheese- Cheeseburger right? Wrong! I was really disappointed with the flavor. I've NEVER thrown a bag of Doritos away EVER until yesterday. Out of all the 16 varieties I've tried,this is the only one I didn't like! They should name it "GrossBurger"!

29. I think everone for the most part is on track when they say burger or cheese burger. I my personal opinion, Cheddar BBQ would be a better name, it encomapasses all of the flavor of the BBQ

32. Disgusting... that's how they taste!

They knew they are awful too. Why else would they go the mysterious "X-13D Experiment" route with prizes!

33. This is a disgusting new flavor from Doritos. I hope they dont seriously think about marketing this flavor. I mean, whateve happened to the good flavors like White Nacho and Jalapeno Cheddar??? After eating these chips I had a gross pickle flavor in my mouth the entire time.

38. Let's call them crap chips.
They are an embarrassment to the name and legacy of Doritos. I have been a Doritos fan for 30 years and never needed a web site. The web site is even crappier, could not log in and could not leave a message. The corporate Web site is just as bad you have to call during business hours Texas time. Just suppose you had an allergy to one of the products, maybe they put nuts or spice in there that would give Paris Hilton claustrophobia - the newest medical disease that would allow you to drive drunk for three more times before you got sick of the food in jail. In jail they gave her cold cherrios, hot coffee and fruit for breakfast. Guess she misses the croissant and caviar that she probably follows with two finger dessert (anarexia nervosia) With our luck Paris Hilton will escape jail and become the next Donald Trump employee
