Doritos

Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Doritos shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Doritos offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Doritos at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Doritos? Wrong! If the Doritos is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Doritos then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Doritos? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Doritos and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Doritos wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Doritos then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Doritos site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Doritos, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Doritos, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Doritos () is a brand of flavored tortilla chips produced since 1966 by the American food company Frito-Lay (a division of PepsiCo, Inc.). Doritos are sold in many countries worldwide in assorted flavors.

The brand's marketing campaigns have included many television commercials featuring Avery Schreiber, Jay Leno, and Ali Landry, as well as product placement in movies, such as Wayne's World (film) and has also sponsored the presidential campaign of Stephen Colbert (although the funds may not be used to campaign, only to cover the campaign on his show.)

Doritos (which, according to Frito-Lay, is Spanish language for "little bits of gold") Frito-Lay history is made from ground corn, corn oil, and seasoning. It also rhymes with other Frito-Lay brand names Cheetos, Tostitos, and Fritos (which is the Spanish word for fried).

Doritos' logos are different worldwide. In the United States, Doritos logo is nicknamed as "The Shockwave," while Canada uses the pre-2005 American Doritos logo. In Mexico, an updated version of the pre-2005 American logo has been used since 2007.

Recently, Doritos ran a campaign called "Doritos X-13D Flavor Experiment" where black, unidentified bags of Doritos were on the market for consumers to identify and name the flavor.{{Citation | last = Associated Content, Inc. | first = | title = Doritos X13D You Name the Flavor | url=http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/252471/doritos_x13d_you_name_the_flavor.html | accessdate = 2007-07-04--> The only flavor identification on these chips is "All American Classic". The flavor was later identified as cheeseburger.[http://x13d.doritos.com/
