Doritos Gaucamole!

 

Product circa: 2025

Note: This is a Presumptive Ephemeral Nom.

Akin to most of the "meaty" chips flavors, Doritos Guacamole doesn't actually have any avocado in it.  (Which is funny, because it's the only reason I can eat it, as I am allergic to avocados.)  Instead, it has every ingredient in guacamole except for the avocado.  They really took a "kitchen sink" approach here, with your typical spices and aromatics, but also jalapeno, sour cream powder, cheese powder, and tomato powder.  The taste is reminiscent of ranch flavoring, as many of the flavors are in common with it.  But there is a tanginess on the chip that makes everything else taste light and fresh.  I swear there is cilantro in here too.  For a product that doesn't quite know what it wants to be, it's pretty impressive.

Doritos Late Night Loaded Taco

 

Product circa: 2025

I'm fairly certain that this product was released many years ago, but I can't recall if I tried it back then.

A fairly complicated mix of many different flavors.  There is no meat in the ingredients, but there is cumin, coriander, onion, and garlic, which do a pretty decent job at simulating the flavor of the type of seasoned ground beef you'd find in tacos.  There is tomato powder in this, but I don't taste it.  I do, however, get a bit of the regular cheese powder thrown in here as well.  Very good!

Oreo Thins Tiramisu

 


Product circa: 2024

I love that they are issuing more flavors in the "Thin" format.  It's odd that these don't claim to be a limited time product.

Maybe it's for the best.  These aren't bad, but they barely ring the bell for tiramisu.  There might be a touch of coffee in there, but it's hard to tell.  Otherwise, it feels like a chocolate cookie with buttery brown sugar creme.  Not bad in the least.

Gatorade Electric Flash

 


Product circa: 2025

With no description of what it tastes like, the internet says that Gatorade Electric Flash tastes like the orange and lemon lime flavors combined.  They are right.  And it's delicious.  That's about it.

Doritos Late Night Sizzlin' Cheeseburger

 



Note: This is a Presumptive Ephemeral Nom

Product circa: 2025

Though I never posted it on this site, some 15+ years ago I recall having this same product.  It was a revelation.  Each component of a cheeseburger could be parsed from the taste of the product: beef, cheese, tomato, onion, mustard, pickle, and even lettuce.

While I commend that this product actually has beef in the ingredients list, this still doesn't quite measure up to the older version.  At first bite, the beef, cheese, and pickle immediate produce the cheeseburger "vibe".  Aside from the additional onion, and perhaps mustard, that's where this product stops.  It's still delicious, though.

Powerade Sour

 


Note: This is a Presumptive Ephemeral Nom.

Product circa: 2024+

These were a lot of fun.  They tasted great, and the sourness is a great addition to the sports drink genre.  I would buy these regularly if I see them regularly
