Every snack brand has a BBQ flavour. It’s practically a legal requirement. Doritos arrives fashionably late with BBQ Sweet Tang, which is exactly what the name suggests: barbecue flavour with Doritos’ signature tanginess woven through.
It’s good. Not revolutionary, not distinctive, but good. The sweetness is restrained, the smokiness present, the tang providing that Doritos character that separates this from generic BBQ crisps.
On a tortilla chip, barbecue flavour works differently than on a potato crisp. The corn base adds its own sweetness, amplifying the BBQ’s sweeter notes. Whether this is improvement or excess depends on your tolerance for sweet-savoury combinations.
A solid if unremarkable addition to the range.
