<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not much of a gambler. I\u2019ve been to Las Vegas once, a couple of years ago on a work trip, and I played (and lost) $5 in the hotel casino slot machine just so I could say I did it. It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t like risk; I will skydive or play basketball with brittle 40-year-old man knees or scream obscenities at a bull in Pamplona any day of the week. What I don\u2019t like about gambling is the part where I am forced to part with money (mostly) due to things outside of my control.<\/p>\n
But what about gambling with food? I do plenty of that, actually. I\u2019ll eat pizza that was accidentally left out on the counter all night and slather my sandwiches with mayonnaise well north of its expiration date. As a young man brimming with virulent stupidity, I once ate a chicken tender from a trashcan on Bourbon Street. So is an extremely hot Cool Ranch Doritos any worse? (Well, okay\u2014 it\u2019s undoubtedly safer than Trashcan Chicken, that\u2019s for sure.) Let\u2019s discuss.<\/p>\n
The original Doritos Roulette chip \u2014 of the nacho cheese ilk \u2014 debuted in the US in 2015. (It\u2019d been available abroad the year prior.) To the delight of spicy snack fans, they resurfaced last year in their original nacho incantation. But with the recent advent of Flamin\u2019 Hot Cool Ranch Doritos, it seemed fated that Frito-Lay would eventually try its hand at Cool Ranch Roulette. So is it worth the gamble?<\/p>\n
If you like Cool Ranch Doritos and don\u2019t mind hot, you\u2019ll like these chips. But how hot do they get, you\u2019re wondering? Pretty hot. Like, really pretty hot, but not, \u201cMy nose and eyes are leaking, and I\u2019m rethinking some of my life\u2019s decisions, and why did I put off meeting with that guy about the living will. He said that the consultation was free unless they actually drafted paperwork\u201d hot. Fresh jalape\u00f1o hot, but not 7 Pot Douglah hot. (It\u2019s a pepper, look it up.) The heat is intense and lingering, and it is almost immediate.<\/p>\n
![\"Doritos](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dorroucr2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&ssl=1\" "\\"dorroucr2.jpeg\\"")
<\/p>\n
The first chip I had was a regular Cool Ranch, and as I reached for a second, I wondered, how many hot chips are there in this bag? Is it like, 1 out of 10? 1 out of — and then as soon as I bit the second chip, my lips were burning, followed almost immediately by my tongue. Alarming as this was, it didn\u2019t hold up statistically. I ate five or six chips before I got another hot one. (You know, just enough time for your mouth to begin feeling sort of okay again.) And really, that seemed to be about the ratio -\u2014 one out of every six or seven chips was burny.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also worth noting that just because you liked the Flamin\u2019 Hot Cool Ranch Doritos, it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you\u2019ll like these. The FHCRD are a bit tangier and have more of a hot sauce burn, if you will, while this is much more of a pepper-based heat. Another reason that I enjoyed these more? If you have a kid who can\u2019t yet read, it makes for a cheap laugh. (And it may also deter them from stealing your precious snacks.)<\/p>\n
