America, your cries to get a stomachache while you gas up have been heard and answered: now you can get fried cheese that’s been breaded in doritos crumbs. This may be part of the grand doritos plan to get a foot in every franchise that people only eat at when they have two dollars and deep-seated self-loathing, I’m not sure. What I do know is that I don’t feel even remotely hungry looking at that orange plastic molten cheese substitute, and I am generally the sort of person who gets hungry just thinking about pictures of cheese.
Pros: pleasing triangular shape, like a dorito-y grilled cheese, plenty of cheese, who doesn’t like melted cheese?
Cons: 7-11 doesn’t so much sell “food” as it sells “disappointment”, you know that it’s not cheese inside but cheez, this is going to be exactly like that time you thought it would be awesome to make nachos with doritos and subsequently got heartburn so bad that you thought you were dying
I actually would have voted NOM NOM NOM, but I tried these already, and they sucked. Not terrible or anything, but certainly not worth the blow to your self esteem that comes from having ordered them. Just not worth anything.
7-11 does have some good food, though! Sometimes there’s a sandwich that’s almost exactly like a McRib.
I will admit to still wanting to try them…or some fascimile thereof. My e-friend Claire made her own: http://www.xojane.com/diy/make-your-own-7-11-doritos-loaded
I wonder who gets paid to come up with these ideas, and then who gets paid to make these horrible looking Dorito concoctions and test them before they’re sold in public. Can you imagine how many versions they probably came up with and tossed out before they started selling these?? lol
I don’t know, but I want their job.
I’d eat it, but secretly and without letting my kids know.
For shame reasons or for not wanting to share reasons?
