I think Disco Elysium said it best:
One may dye their hair green and wear their grandma's coat all they want. Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead…
So you’ve effectively done what they wanted OP - and I wouldn’t be surprised if this turned out to be some lowkey marketing effort or something tbh.
The spirit’s flavor “opens with umami and tangy aromas of nacho cheese, moving to the deeper, corn-forward flavors of the chip to finish on a soft salty note,” the company said.

It’s just a publicity stunt.
And OP either fell for it, or is an advertiser.
What? It seems like that is the peak.
Albert Einstein, an Australian living in the Tasmanian outback, splits the atom with a chisel in an attempt to carbonate beer. He also invents the electric guitar, rock and roll music, and his beer carbonation device is converted into a bomb by Marie Curie’s boyfriend. Albert Einstein takes a steam boat to France and then diffuses the bomb with the literal power of rock and roll, saving Paris and falling in love with Curie.
This was the opening paragraph of an essay I wrote for my European History class. I did not get a very good grade.
I guess we’ve had a plateau since then til now!
It’s not at it’s peak because shit like this still exists. Captain Picard, where art thou?
You folks saying it’s a publicity stunt are only proving my point.
I’m sure I saw someone do this before…

The fact that you posted it here means they’ve accomplished their goal. Literally the only reason this exists is for people to buy it ironically as a joke. Smart alecks across social media as we speak are buying this with a smug sense of superiority so they can talk about how stupid it is. A Doritos executive somewhere is laughing all the way to the bank.
