Should we remove the Fritos stuff from the history column? (I'm talking about the "casa de Fritos" bullcrap) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.12.69.107 ( talk) 22:47, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
I reinserted the list of flavors that was removed yesterday. It may be without sources, but outright deleting all that data (the vast majority of the article!) is totally inappropriate. Someone (or some people) spent a lot of time compiling all that data and it doesn't make any sense to just delete that foundation instead of building on it. -- Stereoisomer 09:35, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
I just inserted the official list of flavors listed on the "flavor lab" on the doritos site. I didn't miss any. How can i legally cite this so it won't be deleted? —The preceding

The current version of the article lists over 200 flavours across the world. Only 10 of them are sourced (to the Canadian Doritos page) and the rest are enirely unsourced, with at least some clear vandalism in there. Given that the previous section discusses the history of the brand and notable flavours as they were introduced, the article does not benefit from having a sprawlingly unreadable and possibly untrue list in addition to it, per WP:IINFO. I've cut it again. -- McGeddon ( talk) 16:20, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

I just bought a bag of "Toasted Corn" Doritos, even though the article says they have been discontinued. Also, the ingredients list " corn, soybean or sunflower" oil, not just corn. I'm going to update the ingredient section, but am wondering what the deal is with "toasted corn," so leaving alone for the moment. Ktanzer ( talk) 23:07, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
What are these "beeftin enzymes" the article mentions? The reference is not only a dead link but appears to use the word "porcine" rather than "beeftin" (look at the URL). 82.113.148.68 ( talk) 10:31, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
while the products in europe probably list additives by number, this article needs to list the US ingredient names first, as its a US product primarily. also needs citations for the ingredients. Oh, which i just did. Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 05:06, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
OK, can we now give him his own article, now that he is dead and is getting written up? Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 05:42, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
A new book, Taco USA is being published, and the writer is claming that Doritos were invented at Disneyland, and the original provider of the product was Alex Foods. The Frito Company (and after the merge Frito-Lay) had a company owned restaurant (Casa de Fritos) at Disneyland, that opened in the late 50's, and the story goes that an Alex Foods sales rep told the restaurant how to not just throw old tortillas away, and instead cut them up and make chips out of them. He also states that Doritos means "little golden things".
Now, Arch West is mentioned in the book, here is small clip that brings the point home, using the Fair Use laws...
>>About a year later, Arch West, marketing vice president for the new Frito-Lay Co. (the result of a merger between Fritos and H.W. Lay & Co. in 1961), passed by Casa de Fritos and noticed customers eating the chips. He asked the Morales family to mass-produce those chips. West presented his bosses with a plan to market tortilla chips for national release, with Alex Foods its makers. Frito-Lay bought all the equipment the Morales family needed to make the chips, which were to be called Doritos ("little golden things"). The snack debuted in 1966to immediate sales.<<

OK, ended up at the Book Signing of the "Taco USA" by Gustavo Arellano, he is a nationally known reporter, a professor at Cal State Fullerton, and has written multiple books, and clearly has done a lot of research to the history of "Doritos", so I think some serious proof is needed to show that Disneyland is not the origin of "Doritos". For those who are interested in the History of the Fritos Company, he addresses that in the book, but I have not looked at it in detail, or tried to find a secondary source to back his claims yet (other than Doritos).

The History section states that a "John C. Dorito" invented them. This rather fishy claim is unsupported by the citation. 2602:306:CC83:FE0:456F:45F1:68F0:A7AD ( talk) 01:59, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
It may be worthwhile to add a gallery to this page showcasing the various logos employed by Doritos along with the years they were employed. This could be placed in a Logos subsection of the History section, along with some detail on the history of the logo, such as factors that motivated the changes. Just a thought. allixpeeke ( talk) 12:34, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
The citation link is dead for the 2003 date of the lawsuit. Anyways, 2003 is incorrect. According to the complaint he filed, he ate the offending Dorito in 1993 and filed suit in 1995. This is important as the Dorito he was eating would be from before the redesign. I'm not sure how to properly cite this since I found the complaint behind a paywall. The document has the id number: No. GD95-5934 CV 1995. I think most of the relevant information is available in another court opinion in the case: 789 A.2d 735 (2001). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:240:8101:C780:6DB6:D29E:97D1:4858 ( talk) 13:49, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Doritos were actually created by the Mexican American Morales family, through their Alex Foods Co., which made the tortillas and the taco shells used at Disneyland's Casa de Fritos, as well as other food venues at the California theme park.
From OC Weekly's Gustavo Arellano:
"One day in the early 1960s, one of the route [Alex Foods] salesman saw discarded tortillas and told the cook to make them into tortilla chips instead of just tossing them in the trash. At that point, tortilla chips weren't part of the Frito family, so the restaurant had no use in offering them as other Mexican restaurants did. The throwaway snack was a hit with guests, so Casa de Fritos put them on the menu—without the knowledge of the Frito Co." Jose Fermoso ( talk) 21:45, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
As part of the low carb movement, Doritos Edge was released in/near 2004. I can't find much on the internet about them. This is important information in the historicity and legacy of Doritos. Does anyone have any concrete info that can be added to this page?
