Attention all Doritos lovers, get ready for a possible change to your favorite crisps! The iconic triangular shape that we all know and love may soon be replaced with a new, square shape. That's right, after 61 years of keeping the same shape, Doritos is experimenting with a different shape for the very first time.
Since their debut in 1964 in Southern California, Doritos have become a fan-favorite snack and were the first tortilla chip to be sold nationally in the US. Two years later, they made their way across the pond to the UK and have been a beloved snack ever since. While the brand has introduced new flavors and variations over the years, the iconic triangular shape has remained consistent.
But now, all of that may change. A recent social media post by the @DoritosUK account has teased the possibility of square-shaped Doritos hitting the shelves in the near future. The post featured a photo of a square-shaped crisp with the caption "The shape of things to come." While many fans have liked the post, some were skeptical, wondering if it was an April Fool's joke.
Some fans were more vocal about their opinions, with one user stating that "Doritos without a triangle aren't Doritos" and another warning the brand not to "mess with my triangle." Despite the mixed reactions, the launch of square Doritos has not been officially confirmed by parent companies PepsiCo and Walkers.
A spokesperson for Doritos did confirm that they have been "exploring" the idea of a new shape and that more information will be revealed later this month. So, what do you think about the possible change to square-shaped Doritos? Share your thoughts in the comments.
This potential change comes after Walkers recently made a change to their crisp packets for the first time. The crisp giant has added a special claim to some of their better-for-you products, highlighting that they contain 0.0% alcohol. This will be featured on packets of Walkers Baked crisps, Walkers Less Salt, Snack a Jacks, Pop Works, and SunBites.
There is also a new commercial featuring actor Danny Dyer serving up crisps in a pint glass at a pub, playing on the idea of "going dry" during Dry January. This campaign, launched by parent company PepsiCo, is meant to be reminiscent of beer advertisements.
