\"Doritos<\/p>\n

Waysnack Machine is a series that looks back at discontinued products.<\/em><\/p>\n

You may think you’ve had Doritos 3D’s recently \u2013- you know the ones; thick, triangular, kinda look like a tiny maze? They’re officially called <\/a>Doritos Jacked 3D, and they’re not your grandma’s 3D Doritos. In this case, I am your grandma, because I am old, and I remember the original<\/i> Doritos 3D’s.<\/p>\n

Also, a quick Internet check seems to indicate that Doritos Jacked 3D have ceased to be on store shelves. So we have, yet again, been relegated to a 2D Dorito life.<\/p>\n

But this post is about the OG Doritos 3D’s. Imagine, if you will, a literal 3D Dorito \u2013 like a puffed-up, fully-enclosed Bugle, but significantly thinner. These babies looked like they could actually float.<\/p>\n

They only lasted from the late 90s to the early aughts, but I remember them quite well for several reasons. First off, the idea of a sort of popped, puffy Dorito sounds (and looks) cool, but there was a strange disconnect between putting something with such a large surface area in your mouth, and then crunching down and finding only…air. I’m surprised I never chipped a tooth chomping down too aggressively on Doritos 3D’s. They didn’t have as strong a Nacho Cheese flavoring as regular Doritos, which to me was quite disappointing.<\/p>\n

Second, given their fragility, buying a bag of these was buying a bag of shattered dreams. And chips. Luckily, Doritos found a way around that by introducing a fun plastic canister for them to safely reside in. Actually, I have no idea if the canister was created for<\/i> Doritos 3D’s, but it’s the only time I got one.<\/p>\n

You could also use the cap as a little serving cup. Not a big deal now, but cool as heck when you’re a dumb kid. Plus, you could reuse the can to store things, and all those things would then smell like cheese dust! So many of my trinkets smelled like cheese dust.<\/p>\n

By the way, Doritos 3D’s do still exist, in one place \u2013 Mexico. They seem to be always available for purchase on eBay if you think a shipped bag of popped chips is going to arrive intact.<\/p>\n
