Update, January 4, 2021: To know any pickle-flavored chip is to love it, and with the added texture and chip-to-dust ratio that comes with a Dorito, it's no shock that tangy pickle Doritos have been a huge hit ever since their release this past summer. At the time, they were pretty hard to find at most mainstream grocery stores, but it seems the first launch was so successful and the chips are now popping up at major retailers across the country.
@Frontpagefoodfinds posted a photo of the chips on Instagram, explaining that they were pretty exclusive to stores like Dollar General and Circle K. Before then, they were only available in other countries like Canada. Now, though, the tangy pickle-flavored Doritos that blend dill and vinegar flavors can be found in bags at stores like Wawa and Stop & Shop. This is hopefully a hint that they'll be available for purchase at all major grocery stores soon enough. Nothing like some good news to start off the year!!
Original Post, June 15, 2020: Attention pickle lovers: No longer do you have to venture to Canada to get pickle flavored-Doritos. A version of the chips has finally hit shelves in the United States, so you can consume handfuls of them all day long.
Instagrammer @theimpulsivebuy shared a photo of the popular crunchy triangle chips in a pickle variety and revealed they'd found them at a Dollar General store. “Now we have them, and I can enjoy the buildup of pickle-flavored Doritos dust on my fingers,” the Instagrammer wrote in the caption. The account also pointed out that the ‘i’ in pickle is replaced by a pink lightning bolt on the bag. "That right there makes me forgive Frito-Lay for taking so long to bring pickle Doritos to the U.S.," the account continued.
Half of the people in the comments raved about the chips. "I'm eating Taco Bell rn, imagine a pickle Doritos taco," one person wrote. "Lays makes a damn good pickle chip," another person commented. The other half of commenters seemed to be speechless and simply tagged another Instagram account, presumably one of their friends, to share the news.
The pickle-flavored Doritos that were previously available in other countries were called “Intense Pickle.” Considering the one out in the U.S. is called “Tangy Pickle,” it probably has a little more sourness and oomph to it. If you don't happen to live near a Dollar General or can't find the snack in any other stores, you can always devour Pringles’ Screamin’ Dill Pickle chips in the meantime.
