“From introducing new flavors like Tangy Tamarind and Tangy Pickle to collaborating with the record-breaking Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ in one of the biggest cultural moments of the year, Doritos is a brand our fans look to for bold new ideas,” said Stacy Taffet, senior vice president of brand marketing, Frito-Lay North America. “By embracing the unexpected, Doritos After Dark has created another moment of inspiration and experimentation, inviting fans to experience Doritos’ boldest venture yet.”
Doritos After Dark leads fans into a new world of Doritos after-hours eats with globally inspired culinary menu items made with classic Doritos flavors, including:
