Bizarre Doritos Marketing Strategy
I recently saw a new type of Doritos, packaged as
though it were some kind of experimental new version. It came in an black bag, labelled X-13D. Normally, I'd jump at the chance to try something new and possibly experimental, but I read the ingrediants list and it looked like they were emptying out their chemical storeroom. Seeing it had beef extract in it was enough to steer me clear of that product. There was a website mentioned on the bag, www.snackstrongproductions.com, but it doesn't work with my browser. I haven't a clue what's on that site, and not enough interest to try harder. Anyhow, I thought it was a weird product. I wonder if it's been introduced everywhere, or whether it's truly experimental and only being tried in a few markets. |

Name it. then refers you to another site (also Flash) where you can name it, make a commercial (write the dialog apparently) etc. looks like it is intended to appeal to teen boys. > Anyhow, I thought it was a weird product. > I wonder if it's been introduced everywhere, > or whether it's truly experimental and only > being tried in a few markets. i haven't seen it here (NH) yet, but i rarely go down the chips aisle in the store either. i've never liked Doritos. lee |

I guess you get the clue if you win the game. I didn't.

It was only out for a very short time. It's the best they've ever made.
