If the rumors are true, your favorite discontinued Doritos may be revived in the New Year. Frito-Lay is reportedly starting up production of 3D Doritos once again, and the beloved '90s snacks could make a comeback as early as Jan. 18.

Though 3D Doritos claimed legions of '90s kids as fans, they were sadly discontinued at the start of a new decade. For those of you who never got a chance to try them, 3D Doritos were puffy triangular hollow shells that came in Jalapeño Cheddar, Nacho Cheese, and Zesty Ranch flavors. (Related: 8 Grocery Items That May Soon Be in Short Supply.)

While the company hasn't officially confirmed the news to the public, too much seems to be known about the re-release of the beloved snack for it to be merely a rumor. According to @CandyHuntung, a popular Instagram account delivering reliable snack news, the snacks are being reintroduced under the name Doritos 3D Crunch, and the flavors are getting an upgrade, too. This time around, you'll be able to enjoy the puffy triangles in Chili Nacho Cheese and Spicy Ranch versions. Spicy!

There's also the rendering of the new packaging, which apparently came from a leaked playbook of future products used by the Frito-Lay sales team. So, yes, we're betting this rumor is highly reliable.

The likely popular move redeems Frito-Lay for discontinuing several popular snacks this year after its production process was streamlined during the pandemic.

These Adbots have gotten smarter. They've learned to rack up thousands of posts before advertising their products now

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

Those sucked

 

[The Last Stand]

So basically Fritos?

Jesus what is it with 30 year olds trying so hard to recapture their childhood?

 

[Archeops]

Eh... I've had 'em before they were discontinued and, like Crystal Pepsi's temporary relaunches, I'll probably try these again just for the sheer novelty of it.

I have a feeling it's something similar to a midlife crisis.

 

[DamageJoy]

Well, whomever invented the limited edition snack/drinks was pretty smart.
They usually rotate, like the old Disney vault just for cheap and unhealthy food items.

Quarter/mid life crisis?

Quarter/mid life crisis?

Thing is they've been doing it for at least ten years.

I remember these not being all that great. They're not horrible or disgusting, but the way some people jizz themselves over them is kind of ridiculous.

I could blame the blurring between childhood and adulthood. With the economy being sick since like 2008 and it only getting more unstable, I guess marketers found a good opportunity to capitalize on the insecurity of people to sell them the products they used to purchase as kids. (or more like their single mom did)

Evil cannot create. It can only twist what already exists. The soulless NPCs who run corporations can't come up with ideas of their own, they have to take old ideas and use them. That's why you're seeing so much 'nostalgia' stuff in Hollywood, without any actual pandering to nostalgia in their products. It's not that they're trying to appeal to nostalgia, it's that they need to parasitically draw off pop culture because they are spiritually incapable of creativity or imagination. Expect every single industry to become like this soon.

If your only memory of a mediocre 90s snack is eating some while hanging out with your friends after school chances are you're not to rational about the quality.

Calm the fuck down nigga we talking about doritos

 

[Disheveled Human]

I remember them they were pretty meh, I prefer the original style.

Quarter/mid life crisis?

Let's be honest, if a 30 year old is longing for Doritos it's probably a two thirds life crisis.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

congratulations nostalgia doesn't even need the advertising boost anymore, consoomers will consoom.

 

[Grundlejungle]

I only got to try these a few times on a vacation as a kid. I remember that they were just ever so slightly better than normal Doritos.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

I have a feeling the 3D Doritos are why I just don't care for regular Doritos even though I was just a little kid and maybe had it only once or twice leeching off a friend. It's weird how I guess making them more puffed up was better to my taste buds to the point I never liked 2D Doritos ever again even though I have vague memories of it (even after looking up pictures).

 

[Archeops]

I’ve been seeing these at one of my local supermarkets and I may have bought a bag of each flavor to test ‘em.

They aren’t exactly like the older versions, these ones are like a cross between Bugles and Doritos and are spicier variants of their nacho cheese and ranch flavors.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

I gotta check if they are available here. I remember they used to be good.
