Super Bowl LX Commercial

AI Highlights
  • - Doritos didn't announce a Crash the Super Bowl contest this season.
  • - Super Bowl LX is under two weeks away and a flavor-swap ad was hoped.

Hi, I'm writing this message to clarify that I'm upset at the moment. The reason is that Doritos didn't announce another Crash the Super Bowl contest this NFL season when they were supposed to last fall, and Super Bowl LX is less than two weeks away.

Not to mention, Doritos just brought back the Crash the Super Bowl contest last NFL season! I was also expecting a Super Bowl commercial featuring Frito-Lay's flavor swap lineup.

I don't want Doritos to miss out on a commercial this Super Bowl because they've never missed a commercial since 2000 or 2001. Please think of something by Super Bowl Sunday, thanks.

User's recommendation: Doritos should make a Super Bowl commercial every year

SHRINKAGE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Party bag same size as regular bags; Fritos scoops smaller and curled.
  • - Paid $8 for a 15-ounce bag; notes inconsistency among bags.
Frito Lay - SHRINKAGE

I want this company to own up to the fact that their so called party bag is the same size as the regular bags AND theyre making the Frito scoops smaller. I buy these every week because theyre amazing with chicken salad!

I am going to start boycotting your products because its absolutely bull that I am paying $8 for a bag of FRITOS That day 15 ounces on them! Do you think your customers are dumb? Did you think we wouldnt notice the scoops are smaller and most are curled? No consistency in the bags at all.

I buy 3-5 bags a paycheck! This will be ending!

Youre disgusting! Stop you GREEDY ***

Pros:
  • I like them
Cons:
  • Company greed

Preferred solution: I would like all the money back I’ve been spending on them! STOP being greedy and STOP shrinking the packages and the FRITOS SCOOPS!

User's recommendation: Don’t bother it’s a bag of air

AI Highlights
  • - All 12 bags of Cool Ranch Doritos were unseasoned.
  • - Purchased from Sam's Club on May 28, 2025; box was sealed.

Dear Doritos Customer Service,

I am writing to report an issue with a recent purchase of a Frito-Lay variety pack that I bought from Sam's Club on May 28, 2025.

All 12 bags of Cool Ranch Doritos in the box were completely unseasoned. They appeared to be plain tortilla chips with no Cool Ranch flavoring or seasoning at all. This was quite disappointing, as we were looking forward to the distinct taste Cool Ranch Doritos are known for.

The box was properly sealed and not damaged, so it seems the issue may have occurred during production or packaging. I have retained the packaging and can provide photos or additional details if needed.

I would appreciate it if you could look into this matter and advise on how it can be resolved. A replacement or compensation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Loss:

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

Disappointed in the potato chips

AI Highlights
  • - 85% of chips in family/party bags are 1-1.5 inches and mostly broken.
  • - Large chips are thin and break into 3-4 pieces, hindering dip scooping.

85% of chips in family and party size bags are in 1-1 1/2 pieces. All broken.

The few large chips that were in bag were so thin you couldnt even scoop chip dip, as they would break into 3-4 pieces. Very frustrating and irritating - will find another brand

User's recommendation: Buy another brand

Haven't heard back. It was probably the rubber from inside the top that broke off during Processing.

Just will not buy product again.

Not going to worry about it. Thank you.

Food poisoning

AI Highlights
  • - Two boxes of variety bake chips bought Feb 20.
  • - Two bags of Cheetos from one box had mold.
  • - ER visit after consuming moldy chips; I am very sick.
Frito Lay - Food poisoning
Frito Lay - Food poisoning - Image 2

All I have to say is, my mom purchased two boxes of variety bake chips from one of our local grocery stores on Feb. 20th.

I ate two bags of Cheetos out of one of the boxes and ended up with mold and mildew mixed with chips. Which caused me to go to the E.R. I called the company and the lady asked me questions. She was empathetic to the situation.

However, I dont wish this on my worse enemy. Im extremely sick with a various amount of symptoms from these nasty smelling, looking chips that I consumed.

Pros:
  • Amazing products
Cons:
  • Must be exam at all times before consuming

Preferred solution: I’m looking for someone to take accountability! I’m also looking for an apology, Full refund as well as medical bills paid and some kind of compensation.

User's recommendation: Smell and exam before consuming them!

How old are you?

Consumer’s are entitled to safe and fresh food. This isn’t just a Dorito problem.

Also grocery employees don’t necessarily have consumer welfare as a priority. An example: outdated (expired) chicken is often used in deli products.( chicken salad) Chicken covered in bar-be-cue sauce is a dead giveaway.My son was a bagger while in H.S.

and said labels were changed and in stocking new food was added on the shelf pushing the older products further back. We trust the FDA when we shouldn’t.

Guest

Thank you for informing people. I eat Cheetos all the time, but do look at the product inside...if it looks questionable, email or call for a replacement. Get well soon!

If you are telling the truth you are only entitled to medical bills. No other compensation. Nice try though.

Guest

None!

Guest

This is ridiculous, after one WHIFF close the bag and return it.

She can't since she is lying to get them free.

Guest

I have to wonder why you would consume anything that smelled bad and had mold on it. If you think the company is going to pay you for your stupidity you are sadly mistaken.

The consumer has a responsibility to pay attention to what they eat. Looks to me like you are just trying to get money out of them.

Wow are you kidding me? Look @ the photo.

You're a real joy. SMH.

WHY would someone go to ALLLLL that trouble for a lousy bag of junk? You're welcome.

Guest

I too often buy cheetos and particularly go in for the giant piece of green mold. And, 3rd grade was my senior year.

Guest

You didn't notice GREEN MOLD? I call BS on this.

Guest

Sorry to hear about your needing to go to the emergency room! This is a good reason for safety regulations.
