Doritos Smokin' Cheddar BBQ and Black Pepper Jack.


First off, Smokin' Cheddar & BBQ was one of my favorite non-classic flavors. And then it disappeared without warning. I didn't know what to do. Blazin' Buffalo knew only one thing and that was to blaze. I had to learn to move on. No smoke. No cheddar. No BBQ. Don't get me wrong. Blazin' Buffalo is good at what it does. It doesn't pretend to be subtle or smooth. It's just in your face, spicy and demanding. Sometimes I need to have a glass of milk in between handfuls.

But Smokin' Cheddar BBQ is back. It's kind of like when Dylan returned to 90210. So I bought three bags. It is still fucking awesome. Of the expansion flavors, it's one of the few that actually implements every one of the words in its name. Sometimes, it tastes like cheddar with BBQ sauce. Other times it tastes like BBQ sauce with cheddar. Which one is smoked? Sometimes it's the first one, sometimes the second. Sometimes both. There's so much variety in one bag. You never quite know what you're going to get, but rest assured that it will be a good time.


I also bought a bag of Black Pepper Jack which tastes remarkably close to jack cheese. The black pepper is kind of a cop out since pepper jack cheese uses actual fucking peppers, but it's not bad. It's kind of like Toasted Corn in that, somewhere in your mind, you've already experienced the flavor because it's so generic you can relive the sensation on demand over and over again. But it's not bad. It's not something you can snack on and pay attention to, but it's acceptable if you're going to be concentrating on something other than stuffing your face with goodness.
