Doritos dip disaster

61 replies

I went to Sainsbury's to get the ultimate combo of blue Doritos with sour cream and chive dip but they didn't have any dip.

No worries, I went to my corner shop and they also didn't have any.

What they did have was some minging looking guacamole Doritos dip instead.

I went to Sainsbury's online. The sour cream and chive dip is no longer listed. Went to Tesco - not listed there either.

What is going on?? Surely it can't be discontinued. New Year's Eve ruined!

No! That's a pale imitation of the real thing!

I seem to be plagued by a thing whereby a product that I like is instantly discontinued.

It all started with peach Barcardi Breezers.

The correct dip to have with blue Doritos is Mild Salsa.

Ahhh that’s stuff in jars? In that case, YABU, what is that? 😂

BarrelOfOtters · 28/12/2023 19:35

That stuff is rank. Buy soured cream and some chives….

This. They have discontinued it to save you from yourself.

Just buy a nicer fresh version not some processed questionable cream coloured goo in a room temp jar.

Hellocatshome · 28/12/2023 19:40

YABU as everybody knows the best dip is the 4 in 1 packs from the chiller section where one of them is always basically thousand Island dressing and the other 3 taste pretty much the same as each other.

Philistine! The correct Doritos to have with Mild Salsa are the orange ones.

But it's delicious.

Unlike other posters I agree with you that that combination is delicious!

I hadn't seen the dip myself for a while so I got aldi's version which is a fraction of the price and looks the same. I can't say if it tastes the same yet- as we haven't got round to eating it yet!

Where are you? I've literally just bought 2×big blue doritos and 2 x sour cream doritos dip. If you're in SW London I can tell you where to get the good stuff

Theredfoxfliesatmidnight · 28/12/2023 19:44

The rest of the year I have 0 fat natural yogurt and other virtuous things to dip my doritos in. At Christmas I allow myself jarred sour cream. Which is as repulsive as it sounds but also oh so delicious.

Nowhere near, I'm afraid! I'm pleased to see that you're stocked up with the correct combo though!

You're half right, the only acceptable way to dip blue doritos is to dunk first in the mild salsa, then doubly dunk with sour cream.

If you're having Doritos anyway, surely you might as well go the whole hog with the dip? Natural yoghurt?!

Omg this has literally never occurred to me and now I may never get the chance to try it. Xmas Sad

I know! I don't know what I was thinking. I think I was under some sort of illusion that natural yogurt negated all the big fat crisp calories.

Oh no that weird jarred stuff is so grim! The universe is telling you that the best combination is blue Doritos dipped in fresh sour cream and chive dip (from the chilled section) rather than some fake jarred cream monstrosity!

I don't want my dip chilled. I want it room temperature.

I don't like chilled drinks either, would rather buy a drink off the shelf than out of a fridge!
