Frito Lay recently came out with
three mystery "test" flavors of Doritos Jacked tortilla chips (the "Jacked" line features a bigger, thicker, crunchier version of Doritos) labeled as test flavors 2653, 404, and 855 each with a different label: blue, yellow, and red respectively.
I picked up all three bags for
$1.99 each.
Just because it's easier, let's just refer to each flavor by their label colors.
The Blue ones were sprinkled with a brown powder that appears to be cocoa from the ingredients listed. There's a bit of a chocolate flavor to them as well as a hint of sweetness that mellows into the more familiar savory seasonings and fried corn tortilla taste of Doritos. They're also moderately spicy. I think
these are mole flavored (the sauce, not the animal). They're pretty good as the chocolate notes are light and they deliver a good kick of heat.
The Yellow ones appear to be Mountain Dew or some other citrus-y soda-flavored. There's an orange and lime tanginess to them, as well as a bit of sweetness. It even smells a little fizzy. Underneath the almost sour bite is that standard savory Doritos taste.
The Red ones are really spicy. It's probably about the same level as their "Flamin'" flavors. There's a note of sour cream up front and enough cayenne to cause a coughing fit if you inhale at the wrong moment. Behind the sour cream is what appears to be either a Buffalo wing or enchilada flavor or maybe a combination of the two. I wouldn't be surprised if the flavor turned out to be one or the other although the Doritos Jacked line has already done
Ranch Dipped Hot Wings as well as
Enchilada Supreme.
Overall, I rather liked the Blue and Red flavors. The Yellow? Not so much. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't good either. If I had to choose, I would pick the Blue label. The flavor's more interesting and the moderate heat enhances the taste.
