Do you have any fond memories of any particular foods from your childhood?
As strange as it may seem, I really liked those hockey puck hamburgers from my junior high school. You remember the ones, two buns, the hockey puck burger patty and mustard, that’s it. They had a very distinctive taste to them, none of which would be recognizable today as a delicious burger. Knowing me though, I bet I would still like them today.
Another food or snack from my childhood was recently brought to my attention by a couple friends–the original Taco Flavored Doritos are back! Remember these?
Well I called upon whatever will power I possessed to keep me from tearing into the bag of chips that my friends gave me, just long enough so I could snap a photograph of the bag for this post. Once I opened the bag, I took a bite of my first chip and it was just like I remember them. Even the look of the bag was as I remembered it.
Another friend of mine was looking for these chips at his local market, but was unable to find them, I think he mentioned they were sold out. The bag does say “Limited Edition” in the upper left corner, but it’s unclear if this means the retro packaging is a limited edition or the taco flavoring is a limited edition.
If anyone has seen the Taco Flavored Doritios in their local supermarket, kindly leave a comment where you saw them, for others to see.
Thanks, and enjoy the memory!

I remember those hamburgers, and you’re right, they were a distinctive taste. I did like those, too funny!!
I live In San Antonio and I have bought both the retro bag and the new one. And I can say that they tasted different. The new bag had no taste like the old style and the retro bag was alot closer to the original but not quite there. Now the ones I ate like 30 years ago had alot of powder spice on them and the bottom of the bag was a gold mine. I really hope they stay around forever.
I thought the retro bag tasted pretty close to what I remember as a kid, but my memory from that long ago is fading fast. I hope they keep them around too, although I haven’t seen them at my local market lately. Thanks for the comment!
