Fast Food Afternoon Romp: Doritos Locos Tacos Doritos (And Beyond)

This week, the Doritos Locos taco comes full-circle

I did a double-take when I opened up the box Doritos sent us earlier this week. Inside were two bags of what appeared to be Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch...only they were so much more. They were limited-edition Taco Bell Doritos Locos Tacos-flavored Doritos. ::head explodes:: How do we feel about that? We're not mad at it. Details after the jump.

Adam Melonas admits that the most difficult part of his job was to fix something that many did not consider was broken. Children don’t think it’s broken. Adults don’t think it’s broken.

They were fun, and while those days are pretty much behind us, I thought I'd shout out a few things I used to trade for when the black market opened around noon every day.

Ad Snacking: The One Where Lay's Gets Lazy And Solicits Your Chip Flavor Ideas

For one ad agency, the well has run dry
Oct 4, 2012 4:31 pm

Lay’s has made my job here very easy with this train wreck of a commercial to promote their million-dollar "name a flavor” challenge. The ad is so jam-packed with out-of-date cameos, awful character clichés and re-used viral video tricks, it may be hard to unpack all of the crappiness in one edition of Adsnacking.
