But the taste really did surprise me a little bit. First of all, the corn chip flavor stands out MUCH more with this than it does in the traditional Doritos Nacho Cheese flavor. I&#8217;m not entirely sure why but I think it&#8217;s because the nacho cheese seasoning is much more salty and savory, and this chip is pretty sweet.<\/p>\n<p>The other surprise is the distinct lack of smoke. Maybe I should have assumed this with a name like Sweet &#038; Tangy, but this relies heavily on the BBQ flavor spectrum of tomato, vinegar, and brown sugar. I didn&#8217;t find it smoky at all, and it was very much NOT like the standard BBQ potato chip flavors you&#8217;d find at the market. There was a crisp acidic tang in the finish and aftertaste.<\/p>\n<p>Overall I found these Doritos to be pretty unique. I think they&#8217;ve managed to hit a BBQ flavor in a super specific way with the sweet acid punch while still delivering a crowd-pleaser. I still prefer the OG Nacho Cheese flavor, but this is a compelling addition to the Doritos lineup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 9.25 oz bag<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Mariano\u2019s<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10 <br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (about 11 chips) 150 calories, 7 grams of fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 190 milligrams of sodium, 18 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 1 gram of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all the chip flavors I&#8217;ve tried and enjoyed, I don&#8217;t believe I&#8217;ve ever had barbeque-flavored Doritos.
