I have something to show you from my trip to New Zealand that will shake you to your core.

Did they have regular tortilla chips in the store as well?

I don't think I saw any.

While horrifying, it looks like Doritos have given the Kiwis their only way to make a nacho plate at home! Time to break out the Velveeta and Cheezwiz, boys!!! Time for white trash nachos!!!!

okay but why is it not red AHHH New Zealand the opposite of red is gree,n right I get it

Why is it green

It’s New Zealand - the whole country is green

I'm in Greece and about to fill my carry-on with Tzatziki Lays.

My Costco was selling massive bags of those last month.

Greece actually had some damn good chip flavors. I loved oregano flavored chips.

No!...No!!

These are just…tortilla chips?

fuck

😂

why is it a fun green bag if the flavor is "salt"

I had salsa verde flavor Doritos out of green bag almost the same color today, I'm sure they were way better than this

Wild. So they're Tostitos, actually, just maybe didn't use that brand name over there?

New Zealander here. We have tostitos also.

I had to know what this meant so I bought them. They are just terrible, awful tortilla chips. Tostitos would be edible. These really weren't unless you live in a place with no tortilla/corn chips.

Oh yeah I'd be tempted, too. I appreciate your sacrifice for experiencing the non-Dorito.

Why are they that color?

Ay man what's that pink bag with the carrot looking dude

Can't remember. Every country has their own Doritos flavors. 98 percent of the stuff in ours is insanely illegal everywhere else so our flavors only exist here.

That's ok I found them

oh no this is worse than my New Zealand core-shaking food experience (cheese on my McDonald’s sausage biscuit)

Biscuits here are cookies You must have had a McMuffin (English Muffin, not naked cupcake muffin) (Bluesky is filled with people from Aotearoa, you say our name and it's summoning hoards)

Cheese on my what? Sausage biscuit?! Confused kiwi here 😆

must have been called a mcmuffin, i was jetlagged and hangry and it was over 20 years ago so i didn't remember that part. i do remember the cheese. the rest of the trip was lovely though, you have a beautiful country!

Haha yes must have been a Sausage and Egg McMuffin. Glad you enjoyed NZ! I need to try a real American biscuit one day! Sounds similar-ish to what we call a scone.

...what

Yeah. Had a bit of an existential crisis when I saw them without any of the dangerous chemical science that makes a dorito a dorito.

“Without chemicals, life would be boring & impossible.” That’s either Chevy Chase or Akroyd.

Ok but did you taste it

I did. I had to know. They were awful. Just awful salted subpar tortilla chips.

you’ve clearly never had tangy pickle Doritos

Smokin cheddar BBQ was my main food the time it was out
