DORITOS has teased a big change to its famous tortilla crisps leaving fans baffled. The creator of one of the nation's favourite snacks has teased a major adaptation that could be seen in bags soon. In an Instagram post the creators of Doritos shared a picture of a square crisp over the message 'the shape of things to come'.
If made, the change to the famously triangular-shaped snack would be one of the biggest in the crisp's history. Shocked fans were quick respond. One said: "Don’t mess up with my triangle!". Another added: "This is an abomination.". A third questioned if Doritos was serious and said: "This ain’t April 1st, come on…".
PepsiCo, the maker of Doritos, has said it will reveal further details later this month. It also shared a graphic showing the dimensions of the new prototype, with each side measuring 65mm - roughly the same as the classic triangle crisps. A spokesperson said: “The news isn’t ready to be shared quite yet, but it's great to know how much interest there is in the shape of our chips.
"As you’ve now seen, square Doritos are something we’re exploring and we’ll reveal more officially later this month.”. Doritos crisps have had a triangular shaped since they were launched in the US in the early 1960s. By 1993 Doritos were the top snack food in America and they were launched in the UK the following year.
