Doritos Just Launched a New Flavor I Couldn’t Stop Eating
Fans of classic sweet and spicy Korean flavors should prepare themselves for something special: The brand-new Doritos® Flamin’ Hot® Korean-Style BBQ, exclusively available at Walmart locations nationwide starting March 31. I got to try the limited-time flavor before the official launch, and have a sneaking suspicion it’s going to be a huge fan-favorite. According to the company, the new Korean-Style BBQ chips fuse the flavors of sweet soy, savory grilled beef, and that iconic “Flamin’ Hot” heat for a delicious and crunchy “explosion of flavor” in every bite. Did it hit the mark? Read on to find out, and to hear what chips fans are saying about the eagerly-awaited new snack.
Taste Test
Ok, these chips are seriously good. At the first crunchy bite you immediately taste the sweetness, which reminds me of the brightness apple or pear lends to a bulgogi marinade. Then comes the richness of the “meat” flavor, and then a gentle, lingering heat I suspect wouldn’t be so gentle after eating an entire bag. This is the stuff “swicy” dreams are made of—sweet, hot, salty, with an umami savoriness that is instantly recognizable as to anyone familiar with Korean flavors. Is it authentic? Of course not, but you can instantly pick up on what this flavor profile is trying to create, and it’s absolutely addictive.
Exclusive to Walmart
The new Korean-Style BBQ Doritos will be available in two sizes- 9oz for $6.29 and 2.625oz for $2.69. The Golden Sriracha chips were so popular, it was a no-brainer the company would follow it up with this Walmart exclusive, and fans are very excited about the idea of a Korean BBQ-flavored chip. “I love me some Bulgogi and Korean BBQ flavours so I’m hoping this one is a hit,” one Redditor said.
