Entirely untrue. Any Doritos aficionado knows that sometimes you get a chip that’s like just covered in flavor dust and just a delight and like the yin and the yang some chips then must suffer and be paltry, a plain and bland corn tortilla chip that is not very good if it’s not slathered in a bath of msg.

All things come and go. Balance, the universe, chakras, etc.

(Also slathered in a bath is somewhat literal, they basically spray the flavoring on Doritos)

I came here to say this, but don't believe I could have stated it quite so eloquently. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

Icytrees@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 318d

I had to amend my will because of this.

If my corpse doesn't get shoved into the crematorium slathered in dorito juice I'm gonna screech cosmic truths in the nightmares of my loved ones.

I've had bags that were entirely lacking in flavor dust. Not even at the bottom of the bag, someone else out there got the bulk of my flavor dust. That, or I got a bad run where they decided to cut costs by robbing me of my sodium fix.

I've learned to never trust Doritos or any particular brand of chip ever again.

Dasus@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 318d

Iirc I've never tasted doritos, but all the similar chips have been shit at least.

Plain salted tortilla chips can be nice though, given you got some salsa. But that cancerous yellow dust that people seem to enjoy?

I have never had a bad granny Smith apple.

Meh. When they're a dark green they're incredibly sour. They need to be slightly yellowish, then they're amazing.

NaibofTabr@infosec.pub · 11 pts · 318d (4 replies)

Men ... They need to be slightly yellowish...

You gotta take those lemons, and stuff them down somebodies throat until they see yella

they're incredibly sour.

They are perfect.

Honey crisp apples are where it's at. Have never had a bad one

stopforgettingit@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 318d (1 reply)

Honey crisp apples are amazing, I get the 4lb bag at Costco and they are gone in under a week.

stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de · 5 pts · 318d

Try cosmic crisp. It's a relatively new variety that was bred from the honey crisp

Rusty@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 318d (1 reply)

Red Delicious are also consistent. They are always red and always taste like shit.

Dasus@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 318d

Mine's pretty refreshing, actually.

Got two Red Delicious and one Golden Delicious (looks like Granny Smith but is a bit softer) for the tartness.

Mmm.

unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de · 4 pts · 318d

I can literally only eat Topaz apples at this point. Any other type will just rot in my house until i throw it away. Best variety out there for people that like a lil sour.

CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 318d

Then you ain't eating them often.

aeronmelon@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 318d

I have, but it’s real hard. They’re almost always great.

Zirconium@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 318d

They make me accidentally bite my cheek every time I eat one

MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 318d

Gravenstein on the other hand... they often get heart rot.

I absolutely have. They can be as mealy as the rest of them

Give me fruit or give me death!

Literally, scurvy can kill you

Lag@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 318d (4 replies)

Just get a monthly suppliment bag of Doritos VitaPowder™ it has everything you need.

I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 318d (3 replies)

But does it have electrolytes??

ryedaft@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 318d (2 replies)

Yes, a significant percentage of Doritos is electrolytes

Unfortunately, it's more common to have too many electrolytes rather than too few

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 318d

Why, because y'all are scared I'll get electrical powers?

Anivia@feddit.org · 1 pts · 318d

Yeah, but you don't necessarily need to eat fruit to prevent scurvy.

I don't eat any fruit at all (like absolutely zero), and I'm still alive

CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 318d (1 reply)

It’s why people go eat at chains in the suburbs.

PunnyName@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 318d

Also the only thing that exists in the suburbs.

Broadfern@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 318d (1 reply)

My exception to this is grapes.

The texture of uncooked apples makes me gag 100% of the time though so I’m happy to hand those off to whoever likes them

derekabutton@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 318d

There is nothing worse than a soggy or extra sour grape in the bowl

myotheraccount@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 318d

Sounds like a skill issue: just store the fruit outside the fridge for two months, and it will all taste consistently the same.

thelivefive@startrek.website · 6 pts · 318d (3 replies)

Y'all can't tell when fruit is bad and just not eat it then?

rumba@lemmy.zip · 19 pts · 318d (1 reply)

Talking about mealy apples and artificially ripened blueberries. A lot of it depends on where you live.

I spent a couple years in Florida, all the fruit and produce was absolutely amazing. Most of the stuff grew locally or not far away. But by the tme you get to the mid-atlantic, you can't find a fresh tomato shy of a farm stand and the right month, all our fruit ships from south america. When they have to ship produce a long way, you get the under-ripened / artifically ripend crap. The growing seasons are so marginal that you can hardly get local fresh produce.

thelivefive@startrek.website · 2 pts · 318d

That's a good point. I buy most of my produce at small natural food stores. It's normally better, but more expensive for sure. Yeah supermarket produce can often be a let down.

FridaySteve@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 318d

Not rotten, just bad tasting. You have to taste it.

locahosr443@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 318d (1 reply)

Sure, if you like the texture of fried cardboard

porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 318d

Praising Doritos for being consistently disgusting. Weird flex but okay.

Enshitification has entered the chat. It's only a matter of time.

MissJinx@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 318d

dude there was a kellogs cereal that was amazing, had oats, corn flakes etc and also tiny bits of chocolate to make it sweet. I would eat that stuff everyday. Loved it. Than they started adding more and more oats and less and less chocolat. at the end it was only oats. WHY?!

Doritos will always taste like poison… because they are.
