Conflagration.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, scraping the bottom of the barrel, but I guess they would work. <\/p>\n<p>What am I doing? I\u2019m coming up with new spicy Doritos flavor names using my computer\u2019s thesaurus. As you can see, we\u2019re going to run out of names soon. <\/p>\n<p>But that issue is for the future. Today is today and today we have a new spicy Doritos flavor \u2014 Blaze. <\/p>\n<p>On the back of the bag, it says Doritos Blaze is like licking a volcano. After I read that, I wasted about an hour or so wrapping my head around what is quite possibly the dumbest thing ever printed on a Doritos bag. Are we talking active or dormant? If it\u2019s dormant, it going to taste like the Earth. If it\u2019s active and you\u2019re trying to lick the lava that&#8217;s pouring out of it, I\u2019m pretty sure your face will melt off, along with your tongue, before you can do so. Yes, this is what I spent an hour thinking about.<\/p>\n<p>The next hour was spent wondering why I don\u2019t like Doritos Blaze. <\/p>\n<p>Its aroma reminds me of bell peppers. It also has a sweet and spicy smell that makes me think of Panda Express. Inhaling the air in the bag also gave me clues that these chips were going to burn.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had spicier chips, but these are packing some decent heat. The first chip isn\u2019t so bad, but eating more will cause the heat to spike (Doritos Spike?). At a point my mouth begins to feel like I&#8217;m playing out a scene from a Game of Thrones fan fiction focusing on dragon erotica. There you go, the person who came up with the \u201cIt\u2019s like licking a volcano&#8221; line, a line that&#8217;s dumber than yours. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Doritos-Blaze-2.jpg?resize=599%2C429&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Doritos Blaze 2\" title=\"Doritos Blaze 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"429\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After consuming a few chips I had to stop eating them, but not because the heat was getting to me, even though it was and I had to grab some water. Instead, I had to stop because I didn&#8217;t care for their taste. Along with the heat, there\u2019s an underlying sweet, peppery flavor, but it doesn\u2019t make me want to eat more. Although they\u2019re Doritos, there isn\u2019t a cheesiness to them. I wish there was because they might\u2019ve been better tasting.<\/p>\n<p>Doritos Blaze is one of the most disappointing varieties of the popular tortilla chip I\u2019ve ever had. It&#8217;s definitely spicy, but it doesn\u2019t have a flavor that makes me yearn for it. Maybe its new name should be Doritos Bummer.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; about 12 chips &#8211; 140 calories, 7 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 180 milligrams of sodium, 17 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, less than 1 gram of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.49<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 9.75 oz. bag<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Walmart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 4 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Spicy.
