Doritos blazin buffalo and ranch chips are officially my new favorite food. Hot and spicy and Dorito-y and quite possibly the perfect chip.
I also noticed that there is a new Three Musketeers out, now. With mint! Anyone try it yet?
What new and wonderful junkfood have you recently discovered?

New…new 3 Musketeers? With mint?
_head explodes_
Those Doritos aren’t bad, either. It’s like they mixed a bag of ranch and a bag of nacho, though.
Edited to add: goddammit! Now I want some Doritos!

When we were in the States in May, we discovered crunchy flaming hot Cheetos with lime. Oooweee! We tried to stock up to take them back, but we couldn’t find any in the grocery store before we came back to Canada. ☹ Maybe someday we’ll get crunchy flaming hot Cheetos with lime here - we have crunchy Cheetos - no reason we can’t have the good shit.

Yeah, the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are pretty good… They remind me of the wings I used to get at a place just off campus, in college.
Another good new thing is the new varieties of Sun Chips they’ve come out with. The Garden Salsa is especially good, and uses a lot of veggie-ish flavors you don’t usually find in junk food.

I’m a freak who loves the “mystery Doritos.” I do. It’s like a sickness, only with onion.

I like the Doritos X-13D too. It’s pretty clear to me that their flavor is fast food cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, onion, and pickle.
Most people don’t like them, though.

Yep. They taste like a quarter pounder.
I took a bag to work and everyone thought they were at least edible. There was no shrieking and bolting for the door, anyway. 😃

Hey, if you want to pay for postage, I’m sure we’ll have a lot of Ameri-Dopers (myself included) that’ll be happy to send you up some of them.

Hmmm, wonder what the postage on a big box of them would run…It wouldn’t be awfully heavy, but it would be _big_.
I dunno - spending mucho dollars to get junk food - that probably isn’t a good sign, is it? 😃

Hanover’s Buffalo Wing Sauce Covered Pretzel Pieces
They Rock. Period.
I purchased them out of curiosity in Miami two weeks ago, and I’m glad I discovered them!

Wow, I’ve missed a lot on this side of the coast. My favorite newish junkfood obsession is paprika flavoured pringles. Yum.

Someone brought those to a party we held a month ago. The unanimous verdict was “yuck”. Strangely enough, however, nobody could stop eating them. Like moths to a flame, were we drawn.

I recently discovered the **World’s Greatest Snack Food Combination Nobody Ever Thought Of Before:** Cool Ranch Doritos and Major Grey’s chutney. Sounds ill, I know, but the flavors combine into a symphony of artery-clogging delight. Best with the 3D Cool anch Doritos, but they don’t seem to carry those around here anymore, so the regular ones will do.

I don’t know what a Mallomar is. Okay, I’ve looked it up. I have had similar cookies (called Viva Puffs), and they are not my preference. I’ve never had a Moon Pie, either.

Saw 'em once at a 7-11 but wasn’t able to make a purchase at the time. I had just come from the dentist and they’d have melted before I got a chance to eat 'em.

Oh, wait, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos with lime? I don’t think I’ve ever seen those. They sound like they’d be pretty good (possibly even better than the regular Flamin’ Hot Cheetos)… Are they only test-marketing them now?
