Janna learns to read (eventually)

While at the store, I found some new kind of Doritos called "flavor shots."
They come in smaller lunch-size bags, just right for a snack.
I saw "Atomic Chile Limon" flavor and "Blazin' Buffalo Rush" flavor.

I figured "why not," and decided to give them a try.

So when I got home, I opened up the "Atomic Chile Limon" ones and tried one.

"Weird," I thought, "It doesn't taste any different than the regular Nacho Cheese flavor."

I tried another.
Same thing.

It was then that I noticed a plastic envelope nestled in among the chips.

"Oooh," I thought, "Did I get a prize?"

I picked it out and read what it said.

Finally, it dawned on me.

I noticed the big letters on the front of the bag which said "flavor packet inside," with a picture of seasoning being poured out onto the chips.

The packet contained the "Atomic Chile Limon" flavoring powder that you were supposed to sprinkle on top of the chips in the bag, which were (of course) the regular Nacho Cheese flavor.

D'oh.

Embarrassed at my apparent inability to read directions for something as simple as consuming Doritos, I opened the packet and dumped the orange-colored seasoning into the bag of already-orange chips.

Can you imagine what lemon-lime tastes like?
Can you imagine what cheesy nachos taste like?

If the idea of mixing those two flavors actually sounds good to you, you'd love these.
Imagine spilling lemon-lime kool-aid on a plate of nachos and deciding to eat them anyway because you're so hungry you just don't care anymore.

Actually.... now that I think about it, the "lime" part tastes eerily reminiscent of the Mountain Dew flavored "Dorito Quest" chips I blogged about last year. Those had just lime flavor, no nacho cheese.
These, however, are a bit different.

The "Blazin' Buffalo Rush" ones were slightly better, but still not worth repeating.

Just my two cents.
Er, I mean, my $1.29.
