What’s in a Dorito? (Hint: MSG and more fun stuff)

The other night, my friend Ken opened a bag of Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos, and insisted I taste how “epically sweet and spicy they are.” I tasted one and it was a done deal. Not since sweet, sweet South Park have I been so elegantly addicted to something. Half-jokingly, I glanced at the ingredients, presuming to find nicotine. What I found was MSG (basically nicotine), and many, many more goodies. I love how the list just gets more and more disgusting as you scroll down…
