Of all the intensely flavored and unnaturally colored chips on our beautiful blue planet, I have always found Doritos to be the most satisfying. When you really take a second to appreciate how bold and out of the ordinary the flavor of a Cool Ranch Dorito is, you realize just how far we’ve come from foraging for nuts and berries and drinking only water and fruit juice. Whether that is magnificent or completely hideous is debatable, but Doritos persists nonetheless, inventing and reinventing potent flavors in powder form to coat our beloved little chippies. I’m thrilled to let you in on the news that they’ve done it again: Doritos will be launching a new Flamin’ Hot Korean-Style BBQ flavor that’s set to hit stores later this month.
Not just Korean BBQ…Flamin’ Hot Korean BBQ?! How many flaves can they fit on one chip?
Apparently the robust, layered flavor of Korean BBQ wasn’t enough for the Doritos scientists behind this new variety. Nope. They decided to make these Flamin’ Hot chips, too (yes, the same Flamin’ Hot you know and love from its work with Cheetos, Fritos, Lays, and other Doritos). According to the brand, the new Flamin’ Hot Korean-Style BBQ chips will have flavors of “sweet soy, savory grilled beef, and [a] kick of Flamin’ Hot heat.” I would say I’m hesitant to believe the soy and beefy flavors won’t be overwhelmed by the heat, but I have a lot of faith in Doritos, so my hopes remain high for a chip with unbelievable depth of flavor. Don’t disappoint me, Doritos.
When and where can you buy Korean BBQ Flamin’ Hot Doritos?
The new Flamin’ Hot Korean-Style BBQ Doritos will be available exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide starting March 31. You can snag a 9oz bag for $6.29 or a 2.625oz bag for $2.69. While there is no clear end date, we do know this is a limited edition flavor, so set your alarms for the 31st to see if these new Doritos will delight or disappoint.
