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.
American author, comic book writer, screenwriter, and blogger Chuck Wendig recently got really curious about Doritos’ name

The curiosity got him into doing a little research on the Internet

But sadly, he didn’t find the answers he was looking for

The only thing to do was to.. well, do a little bit more research

And then let his imagination run wild and create his own version of the story

Which is both brilliantly hilarious and just a tad spooky at the same time

Someday we will be eating Chuck’s soul if you think about it, probably soon
Does that mean we are demons fed with souls, demons delusional enough to think we don't live in hell

Ghost bones!! I'm going to start calling Doritos ghost bones!!
soyummy.com explains it, but i like this version better! lol...also, i miss the Smokey Red BBQ
Chuck Wendig's post is hilarious. Changing tone (with apologies): be afraid. Be very afraid. With all the money in their coffers, Doritos will start by killing Chuck Wendig, then erasing every record of his existence. Before you know it, people will hear his name and react with a blank and puzzled look.
Liked this but the author should have put it on Fallons I'm so bored list.
I like @Doritos replies to his posts. ("hand will be forces" hahaha)
That otherworldly conspiracy of what Doritos are made of made me never want to eat another Nacho Corn chip of a baked human soul covered in dehydrated teeth extracted from punished sinners (Doritos) EVER AGAIN! (please help)
Basic secondary school Spanish: Oro = gold; De oro = of gold (literally), d'oro = golden (figuratively); -ito/a = diminutive, conditionally making the term into small (like -ette or -ite, in English & French), and -s = plural for vowel-ending words. So, Doro = golden (thing, or item, by connotation), and Doros = plural; and....Doritos = little golden ones, as in yellow corn fried into a chip or tortilla is 'golden-fried' like some other American foods. FYI, Dorito is a noun, Dorado is an adjective. -Dr M
It's very funny. Tha's all we care about now. The world needs this.
