From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doritos (IPA: /dəˈriːɾoʊz/) is a brand of flavored tortilla chips produced since 1966 by the American food company Frito-Lay (a division of PepsiCo, Inc.).^[1] Doritos are sold in many countries worldwide in assorted flavors.

The brand's marketing campaigns have included many television commercials featuring Avery Schreiber,^[2] Jay Leno,^[1] and Ali Landry,^[3] as well as product placement in movies, such as Wayne's World^[4] and has also sponsored the presidential campaign of Stephen Colbert (although the funds may not be used to campaign, only to cover the campaign on his show.)

Doritos (which, according to Frito-Lay, is Spanish for "little bits of gold")^[5] is made from ground corn, corn oil, and seasoning. It also rhymes with other Frito-Lay brand names Cheetos, Tostitos, and Fritos (which is the Spanish word for fried).

Doritos' logos are different worldwide. In the United States, Doritos logo is nicknamed as "The Shockwave," while Canada uses the pre-2005 American Doritos logo. In Mexico, an updated version of the pre-2005 American logo has been used since 2007.

Recently, Doritos ran a campaign called "Doritos X-13D Flavor Experiment" where black, unidentified bags of Doritos were on the market for consumers to identify and name the flavor.^[6] The only flavor identification on these chips is "All American Classic". The flavor was later identified as cheeseburger.^[7]

Doritos officially sponsored the "Hail to the Cheese Stephen Colbert's Nacho Cheese Doritos 2008 Presidential Campaign Coverage." [5] The money given to Colbert could not be used to directly fund his campaign, so he used the money to fund The Colbert Report. He claimed that he would not use his show to plug Doritos, but plugged the chips during these claims. After the campaign flopped, Colbert joked that "his body will stop producing orange waste."^{[citation needed]}
