Advantages: quiet cheap, taste good, they come in different sizes, good for a quick snack.

Disadvantages: don't look attractive, quiet a lot of fat, leaves your mouth stinking of cheese.

I remember back in the days when I used to hate these Doritos crisp. Why? Well first of all they were not attractive to the eye and were just not my kind of food.
It's mainly the original flavour that put me off. But I however decided to munch on the tangy cheese, that's when the whole world turned around and smiled at me, because they knew there was no turning back after your first bite of Doritos tangy cheese.
From that day onwards I began eating Doritos tangy cheese flavour, I now got to like the original flavour but not as much as the tangy cheese.

Of course everyone must know walkers as a company after all they have over 50% of the crisps and snack market followed by KP whom only own just below 25%. This is shockingly true but the U.K eats over 5 billion of walker's products every year.
I definitely know that I contribute a lot to that number as I by their products quiet a lot.
Walkers' is a good company and they do try to help the environment and their farmers etc though this does not change their main objective which is to maximise profits and satisfy their customers.


____Cost & Packaging___
The Doritos tangy cheese comes in an orange packet as shown in the picture above.
They don't really cost a lot nowadays a 40g bag only cost around 40p and the biggest bag around £1.30. However, these prices could change in time, and can be different depending were you buy them. The Doritos tangy cheese flavour are however likely to be cheaper in supermarkets rather than local shops or vending machines for the reason that supermarkets buy the Doritos in bulks thus making it cheap.

If you are lucky you could find these Doritos on special offer e.g. buy one get one free or buy two for certain amount etc, these offers are mainly on the big packs of Doritos.
Another good way of getting Doritos cheaper is via buying them in packs. The 40g packets are the ones you mainly going to find in packs of either six or twelve and are mainly sold in supermarket.
I however buy mine from Iceland as they always have offers on their crisp, and there hasn't been a day I've been there seeing the Doritos Tangy cheese flavour not being on special offer. For that reason it could be best if you try Iceland first before you wonder off somewhere (it is always a good idea to save your pennies).


____Nutrition___
As I said before, walkers have really tried to make their products as healthy as possible. This is however proving to be hard as their products are still classed as junky foods. However, it would not kill you if you have a few Doritos a week. I usually buy the 40g bag which is the smallest packet of Doritos you can get.
Other sizes of Doritos are 140g and 245g packets.

The 40g packets of Doritos are good for snacks and are quiet good for you health as they have quiet a lot of protein (3g) more than I've found in a 40g pack of crisp, a lot of carbohydrates (23g including 1.2 sugars) coming from the wheat and corn. The carbohydrates do give you loads of energy, though it is crucial to balance your diet. Nevertheless, the fat does pull it back from being one of the healthy snacks in the market, as the Doritos have a huge 10g of fat in a little 40g packet.
Overall a 40g packet of Doritos has 200 (10% of your daily intake) calories so do your maths and figure out how many calories are in the other size packs.


_____Taste & Smell etc_____
Unlike the original flavour that smell of corn, these tangy cheese Doritos smell of cheese. The cheese has this salty smell, that you could thought to put you off eating the Doritos, but no it doesn't, the smell gets me drooling before the crisp hits my tongue. That is just how strong the smell is, the smell of the crisp truly pull you over, and urge you to eat the Doritos.

Once these Doritos converge with you tongue, there is no going back. I tell you that you will keep eating these till you are full, because they have this mind-boggling taste that makes your whole body shake. The tangy orange looking cheese on these corn crisps is high-quality and gives this unique taste that is way different from their Walkers cheese flavour crisp.
In short I am saying that these Doritos tangy cheese flavour taste amazing. I give praises to those who prepare the corn and cook them the Mexican way.

_____Advantages____
---You won't be hungry after eating these

---They have 80% less saturated fat

---Can be bought in major supermarket and local shops etc.

---Not too expensive and can be bought in many shops.

_____Disadvantages_____
---They live your mouth and fingers stinking of cheese

---A 40g packet is just not enough, as they will leave you craving for more.

---Will leave you thirsty for a cold drink.

---Not very attractive to the eye, so might put you off.


___Recommendation___
Yes, I would definitely recommend these crisp to everyone who like cheese flavours. If you have never eaten these before because they look unattractive to your eyes, then you better have mercy and give them a chance.
I really like these Doritos and they do wonders every time I eat them. They do make me forget about what is happening around me, as I gobble them.

______Note______
---Doritos are crisps made from corn. They corn is grinded and made into a soft dough. After adding some of the ingredients, It is then shaped into Doritos looking shape, lightly toasted and quickly fried before being seasoned with the tangy cheese.

happen to be vegetarian.

---it's best you store these Doritos in a dry place, as they will lose taste if you expose
them to moisture etc.

---You might not want to consume these Doritos if you are allergic to Corn, Milk,
Wheat or cheese.

lightly salted etc.
