Writer Can’t Find The Origin Of The ‘Doritos’ Name, Makes Up His Own Creepy Backstory

It seems like letting your imagination run wild once in the while is very healthy during this time when health officials all over the world are encouraging people to self-isolate or at least to play by the rules of social distancing. But some imaginations turn out to be wilder than others. At least Chuck Wendig’s certainly is one of the wild ones. Turns out, he recently got really curious about where Doritos’ name comes from. And quarantine seems to be the perfect time to get answers to such existential questions. However, this time the answer didn’t come with a simple Google search, how most of us are used to. Therefore, he dug a little deeper and came up with his own version of origin story that’s hilariously genius.
