It's safe to say that those are really exired.

They might also be expired.

Talk about a flashback... it was like looking back in time. For that reason, it was a pretty cool discovery, but it's also kind of disgusting considering this group of grads hadn't cleaned this area for over 22 years!!!

what does the freshness date say? the copyright is only applicable to the bag's design, and doesn't indicate when the bag was made.


edit: looks like may 1, 1999. that's old, but not that old

Wow, I could really go for some 1984 Doritos with extra cheese flavour right about now. If only I had some exired brownie mix to dip them in...

I don't believe they started "freshness dating" chips until the late 1980s/early 1990s.... Plus, I remember that bag design.....just can't put my finger on when they stopped making them.

I'm just thinking they may be a few years newer than 23.

TRUST me when I say I'm not that good at photoshop. You're looking at unedited pics.

After more than 20 years of adding "MORE NACHO CHEESE FLAVOR" I'm surprised they haven't reached a point where they simply sell bags of powdered nacho cheese.

The freshness date just says May 23, then has the price and then under that some serial number which is hard to read

Not accusing you of photoshopping. I just can't believe a bag of chips retailed for $1.99 in 1984. Most weren't more than $1.49 from what I remember in the 80s... I think the 1984 is copyright of the Doritos name or something.

I remember that bag design in the 1990s. They changed it a few times in the mid-late 90s. I would guess that bag could be 10 years old.....possibly 12.

Brings back memories!

Remember they used to make Corn Chips?

My dad loved those!

huh? they still do make corn chips...unless you're talking about something else.

Frito Lay makes doritos and they make fritos - the corn chips also....

feed it to a gerbil or mouse... see if it gets sick

 

[swtethan]

How much MORE NACHO CHEESE FLAVOR can they pack into these things? Did they switch to 45nm process?

 

[SampSon]

Did you try one?

 

[Cody8417]

It's very possible that those things are still crunchy because they are so old that the moisture that would normally lead to staleness is just gone and they're actually just bone dry. that or they're planted

You may be right, but I double checked everything else and could not find any other date. I'll go to the store and check out current bags and see if they have 05 or 06 on them.

At any rate, I don't have an actual memory of doritos bagged in bags like this. I know in the 90's doritos had a reddish orangish bag. Plus, the styling of this bag with it's 1970's reminiscent font is definately an early 80s look.
