message: I just bought a bag of "Toasted Corn" Doritos, even though the article says they have been discontinued.  Also, the ingredients list " corn, soybean or sunflower" oil, not just corn.  I'm going to update the ingredient section, but am wondering what the deal is with "toasted corn," so leaving alone for the moment.

message: What are these "beeftin enzymes" the article mentions? The reference is not only a dead link but appears to use the word "porcine" rather than "beeftin" (look at the URL). 82.113.148.68 (talk) 10:31, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Arch West 

message: A new book, Taco USA is being published, and the writer is claming that Doritos were invented at Disneyland, and the original provider of the product was Alex Foods.  The Frito Company (and after the merge Frito-Lay) had a company owned restaurant (Casa de Fritos) at Disneyland, that opened in the late 50's, and the story goes that an Alex Foods sales rep told the restaurant how to not just throw old tortillas away, and instead cut them up and make chips out of them.  He also states that Doritos means "little golden things".
Now, Arch West is mentioned in the book, here is small clip that brings the point home, using the Fair Use laws...
http://www.ocweekly.com/2012-04-05/food/taco-usa-how-mexican-food-conquered-america-doritos-disneyland/
>>About a year later, Arch West, marketing vice president for the new Frito-Lay Co. (the result of a merger between Fritos and H.W. Lay & Co. in 1961), passed by Casa de Fritos and noticed customers eating the chips. He asked the Morales family to mass-produce those chips. West presented his bosses with a plan to market tortilla chips for national release, with Alex Foods its makers. Frito-Lay bought all the equipment the Morales family needed to make the chips, which were to be called Doritos ("little golden things"). The snack debuted in 1966to immediate sales.<<
So can anyone add to the history of this comment... is it true, or at least partially true????  — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeorgeKelsey (talk • contribs) 02:34, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The citation link is dead for the 2003 date of the lawsuit. Anyways, 2003 is incorrect. According to the complaint he filed, he ate the offending Dorito in 1993 and filed suit in 1995. This is important as the Dorito he was eating would be from before the redesign. I'm not sure how to properly cite this since I found the complaint behind a paywall. The document has the id number: No. GD95-5934 CV 1995. I think most of the relevant information is available in another court opinion in the case: 789 A.2d 735 (2001).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:240:8101:C780:6DB6:D29E:97D1:4858 (talk) 13:49, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Etymology 
Worth adding?
:The Frito-Lay vice president said that "Doritos" means "little bits of gold" in Spanish, but that is not quite right. The diminutive of "dorado" (golden) is "doradito" and the diminutive of "oro" (gold) is "orito". In the first case Dorito is missing "ad" and in the second case it is missing the D.  Dec 31, 2009. 
:The name Doritos most likely comes from the Mexican/Spanish translations for one of the two following terms; dorar – “to brown,” doradito – “golden brown.” Doradito is the most likely origin and was the most commonly used term to describe the fried tortillas that eventually became known as Doritos.

message: :This has not been officially announced but in North America the Nacho Cheese and Flamin' Hot flavors had both a visible change in their makeup and a definite change in their flavor. The chips now more closely taste of corn and oil and there has been a dramatic reduction in how much "flavor powder" is visible on the chip. Less salt, probably less MSG or something. They just taste like lightly flavored and somehow a bit galling corn chips. Oily, but if you used recycled oil from making a taco shell. Confirmed all over social media but snuck into the marketplace hoping most people consume without noticing their tongue. Future sales will be affected by the most important part of a food: it's taste and aftertaste. Go ahead and delete this because obviously wiki is a tool for capitalism, but hopefully this will exist somewhere in the change log.

thread_title:  Doritos Nacho Cheese and Flamin' Hot Have Bland Recipe Change in 2020 

message: Doritos were actually created by the Mexican American Morales family, through their Alex Foods Co., which made the tortillas and the taco shells used at Disneyland's Casa de Fritos, as well as other food venues at the California theme park.   
From OC Weekly's Gustavo Arellano: 
"One day in the early 1960s, one of the route [Alex Foods] salesman saw discarded tortillas and told the cook to make them into tortilla chips instead of just tossing them in the trash. At that point, tortilla chips weren't part of the Frito family, so the restaurant had no use in offering them as other Mexican restaurants did. The throwaway snack was a hit with guests, so Casa de Fritos put them on the menu—without the knowledge of the Frito Co." Jose Fermoso (talk) 21:45, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
