It seems that nostalgia is not dead. I did a simple online search and all of a sudden find a zillion forums where people have expressed their love and fond memories of Sour Cream and Onion Doritos. One major problem though. Frito Lay discontinued them around 25 years ago! On one forum, someone wrote that when contacting Frito Lay, they flat out denied their existence. Yet clearly all the people on these forums remember these chips just like it was yesterday. Most comments about the chips are quite similar, as these folks keep saying that the Sour Cream and Onion flavored Doritos were their favorite. Heck, they were my favorite too! I wonder if the folks at Frito Lay ever visit these forums to find out what people think of their products. If the recipe/formula to Sour Cream and Onion Doritos still exists, then bringing back these wonderful chips would be most logical. After all, how could Frito lay argue with all these folks on deozens of forums? After doing a little research, I discovered that it seems the Sour Cream and Onion Doritos may have only been a regional product. They seem to have been sold primarily in the midwest ststes of the U.S. They came out around 1979. The TV commercials were quite memorable as well. Comedic actor Avery Schreiber was the official spokesperson of this product. His goofy antics certainly must have helped sell this flavor. Sadly though, within two or three years time, Sour Cream and Onion Doritos completely vanished. Nothing new with big companies, as they're always discontinuing products all the time. But according to these forums, it seems that this was Frito Lay's biggest goofup! There have been a couple of feeble attempts by Frito Lay to bring back this flavor including a flavor called Sonic Sour Cream. But the general consensus from true chip officionados have confirmed that this was quite inferior to the original. Others have expressed the opionion that even if they brought back Sour Cream and Onion Doritos, that they wouldn't taste the same due to different ingredients used today to make Doritos. Whether or not Frito Lay ever decides to ressurect the Sour Cream and Onion Doritos, one thing is clear and that is that dozens of people will never forget the impact this flavor had on their taste buds. Sure, it may sound silly but this very flavor inspired these folks to run to their local grocer to buy a big green bag of Sour Cream and Onion Doritos! Sadly, Avery Schreiber is now gone and so is this particular flavor but for those of us who remember, our memories will never die.

I do remember at a young age (I'm 41 now) they had sour cream and onion doritos they were the bomb! I would love to see these come back into existance, and yes frito lay they did exist. I remember when I took money out of my dads coin bank to buy these, I was addicted! I would love love for these to come back and have tried to find someone who sells them. I lived at the time in Hoopeston IL, I bought them at the A&P store and I believe at that time the bags were maybe a little more than 1.00 for a bag of them!

I can't say that I remember SC&O Doritos, but I know for sure I'd buy some if they came [back] out today. Come on Frito-Lay!

Oh gosh! I loved those! There hads got to be some place to get these! Did they sell the recipe or discontinue it completely.

I remember them and wish they'd bring them back! What a blast from the past! They were so good! I remember the green bag as well!

i'm on the east coast and i remeber sour cream and onion doritos like it was yesterday and i have been trying to find them again. they were by far the best doritos!!!!! please help bring them back ! i'm writing frito lay and asking them to put them back into circulation!!

I remember those Doritos so well. I loved the green flecks of green onion on them. I could inhale a bag in one sitting. They were so addictive. I would ask my mom to get a bag every Thursday when she went to the grocer's. I would get in trouble in my fourth grade class for sneaking them out of my lunch bag before lunch time! It was definitely worth it!

I don't know how accurate your research is about the chips only being sold in mid-west states. I am from Central Pennsylvania and remember eating sour cream and onion Doritos when I was a small lad.

I really miss these too. For some reason they dropped all but Nacho cheese until cool ranch came along.

I remember Sour Cream & Onion Doritos from when I was a kid in the late 70's, early 80's, I loved them, I bought them whenever I had a chance. It was Nacho cheese, then Taco flavor my next choices. If Frito/Lay's are denying they made Sour Cream & Onion Doritos, then the person who denied it doesn't know what they are talking about. Also it wasn't regional as what was thought, we had them in Connecticut also. If Frito/Lay's could bring back Nacho Cheese Cheetos that came out around the same time & brought it back in the 90's, they can do the same for Sour Cream & Onion Doritos.

I remember these when I was in elementary. It was a green bag that was a cellophane kind of material, it had a big green onion and a window where you could see the chips. I ask people all of the time if they remember these and they look dumbfounded all of the time. I thought maybe it was in my imagination until I saw this site. Too cool!

OMG,I'm so glad so many other people remember these! I have never been able to find one person who remembers them, thought maybe I was going crazy. I grew up in Mass, only about 25 miles outside of Boston, and we had them there. I wish they'd bring them back!

Hilarious! I just googled Sour Cream & Onion Doritos and got this link! I got stitches in my forehead because I couldn't get my Doritos out fast enough and ended up hitting a wall. Fond memories of me in the hospital getting stitced and eating my Doritos!! I am from Georgia and they were here!!

Oh my gosh! What a blast from the past. I am 42 now and I am from Austin, Texas from the west side of town. Those green bags of chips were only 25 cents at the Mini-Mart 1 block away from our house. I absolutely loved those chips and every now and then you would find a CLUMP of sour cream and onion down at the bottom of the bag. They had a very distinguishing taste and I wish to God companies would think long and hard before discontinuing every I like. You know? Like Lemon flavored jolly ranchers and banana and chocolate flavored BOMB POPS and oh let's not forget the WOW-WEE orange Harmonica sold at Halloween time. You could acutally blow it and it kept a tune and then chew on it with that ever so sweet taste til the taste left and wax became sooo hard. I tell ya....seems like the Good Ole' Days are in RETRO-LAND forever. Here's to YESTER-YEARS!! The 70's and the 80's. There will never be a decade like that one!

I am from Pennsylvania i am 18 years old and these chips havent been discontinued for 25 years when i was in 4th grade ! hmm do the math ...

I remember riding in my Mom's car and passing a Frito-Lay delivery truck in the early 1980's. On the side of the truck were pictures of three flavors: Nacho Cheese, Corn & Sour Cream & Onion. I never saw them in the supermarket, but I never forgot that truck. Ever since then I've wanted to try this mysterious flavor. From reading the other postings it's nice to know that I wasn't seeing things. - Delaware -

I can't believe other people remember that favor. I just got off the phone with a Frito-Lay Rep about the new Quest product and I asked her about the sour cream and onion favor. She was not aware of that favor. I told her they should bring that favor back. I was born in the 70's in Mississippi and I remember the chips being in a green bag. They were my favorite.

From that YouTube commercial linked above, I see that the front of the bag says "Artificially Flavored" boldly on the face of the bag. Who knows, maybe the ingredients were found to cause cancer? Maybe the ingredients ended up on an FDA ban list for having addictive drugs :D ? Leslie. Are you sure you're thinking of the right chips? I don't remember ever seeing Sour Cream & Onion Dorritos, and I grew up in the '80s and '90s. I know of Pringles Sour Cream and Onion chips. Esther. I live in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, and our local "Mini Mart" carries chocolate and bananna ice cream flavored "Bomb Sticks." I think they are what you refer to as "BOMB POPS."

I'm 27 and I remember sour cream & onion flavored doritos like it was yesterday I've always wondered What the heck happened to SC&O flavored doritos they were my favorite!!!!!

I am 45 and my kids thought I was making up the sour cream & onion flavored doritos until we looked up this site. They were by far the best Doritos and the first ones I ever tried. Wish they brought them back again. I had to laugh when I read the comment about the orange wax harmonicas that used to come out at Halloween time. I almost forgot about them. They were far better tnan the wax lips. Bring back Sour cream & onion Doritos!!!!!!!!!!!

Truley the best of all chips...I haven't had them since the late 80's....I found them selling in Hawaii on vacation in the late 80's early 90's and remember bringing back a couple of bags because they no longer sold them in southern california....another great flavor was the Taco flavor which is gone as well.....I hope that some Frito CEO with a cutting edge for change will bring back the old flavors at least for a trial run....I'm missing the flavor and those Green Bags!!

I don't remember them...I must of missed out, they sound good too.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION DOREITOES WERE THE BEST. I TRULY BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE BROUGHT BSCK OUT. THEY WOULD BE A NEW TREAT FOR TODAY, AND SOME SERIOUS MUNCHAGE FOR US WHO REMEMBER THEM. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK....

I was addicted and would do anything to have these again!!! Love isnt a strong enough word. Snack night was once a week---my Mom never had to ask what I wanted. Makes me wonder how much weight I would gain:).

Hey, thanks for the info everyone. I never heard of this flavor before but I have heard of the Pizza Hut and the Taco Bell flavors. I didn't like the smell of those-blech! I know I would get hooked on this flavor too because I love sour cream and onion flavored chips.

Thanks for confirming Sour Cream Doritos existed. I live in CT and would have been 7-9 years old when they were on the market back in the late 70's/early 80's. These were my favorite snack back then and I remeber buying the small green bags. This was 25 years ago, but I would say they closely resembled cool ranch in flavor. I have asked a number of people over the last 10 years and no one remebered them.

OMG I totally remember these! I too was about 7-8 when I had them...they didnt last very long huh??

holy crap! those sour cream & onion chips were a piece of heaven...seriously, WTF? why can't they bring them back, they ere so wickedly awesome:O)I grew up in MA and they were popular t/o the 80's as I recall.......

I remember them when I was a kid....still, to this day, the best-tasting doritos of all time!!!! Green bag with a plastic see-through window!!

I remember Sour Cream & Onion Doritos-they were my favorite flavor by far and I miss them!!! The Taco flavor was my other weakness. I remember them from the late 70's to early 80's and I lived in the Deep South. We used to buy these two flavors and take them on camping trips.

This is hilarious! I'm 40, and I thought I was the only weirdo that had imagined eating these as a kid!! I'm glad to see that they were in fact real (despite what the wise folks at Frito Lay might claim). I grew up in Silver Spring, MD and was addicted to buying these from a little store called Ertter's Market next to Montgomery Blair H.S. Wish they would bring them back. They were awesome. Spicy Nacho Cheese is a good consolation, though. :)

I am 42, from Nebraska, and I definitely remember Sour Cream & Onion Doritos. They gave you the worst dragon breath, but were oh so yummy!

Omg.... I loved these as a kid... Im 35 now and I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin... I remember the bag, the smell and the taste... but yet know one seemed to remember these awesome chips when I ask about them.... I just watched the old sc&o dorito commercial on you tube and it brought back memories cuz i rember that commercial... I really wish they would bring them back.....

I loved the Sour Cream & Onion Doritos. I wish they would bring them back.

This was my absolute FAVORITE snack EVER. I was very sad when they were discontinued..How do we get it back? I did save myself about 100 pounds having this discontinued!

Oh my God do I remember, as a matter of fact, I contacted Frito Lay today and talked to their marketing department trying to convince them to bring them back. They told me they'd pass the info along and see what they could do, Wow if they bring them back I swear I will clean the store out. What can we do to convince Frito Lay to bring them back?????

I grew up in Nashville, TN and I definitely remember SC&O Doritos! They were almost green in color and my mother refused to buy them just because of the way they looked!!! Not many of my friends remember seeing them.

They were the best. Nothing out here now comes close to how good they were. I don't see why it would be so hard to make them again. They should look back at how people treated Coke after they changed.

I know they sold them in Pittsburgh PA, I use to watch the steelers game while eating sour cream and onion dorito's. They were the very best chips ever...nothing will ever compare!!!!! I say we all keep calling Frito Lay until they break down and start making them again...I'll go as far as to call the head of Frito Lay and hire some sort if lobbyist to state our opinions...I have to have theses chips again, they are like a little slice of heaven!!!

Sour Cream & Oinion Doritos was favorite corn chip. I emailed Frito Lay in sept.2008 they replied back saying that due to low sales that the product was discontinued. Im 36 living is Seattle, WA I remember walk into corner store looking for the 35 Cent bag of Sour Cream & Onion and had to leave with Nacho cheese... that was B.S.

I waited on a man that works for Frito Lay so I asked him, whatever happened to sour cream and onion doritos? He looked at me like a was crazy? He said they never made Sour cream and onion...I knew for a fact that they did. i live in Michigan, I'm 39 years old and remember walking to the corner party store for a bag of doritos, a pepsi (in a glass bottle) and a reesce cup! those were the good old days.

Wow,i was sitting in the dining room with my 19 year old son just a few minutes ago, and he didn't believe me that these were ever made. So we jumped on the computer to search them up, and i find this site. I was shocked that this was actually a forum...and i was even more shocked when i found that the last person who talked about this, talked about it just a couple days ago. Overall...Frito Lay, you need to bring these chips back. They are amazingly good.

I remember the sour cream and onion doriotos and they were GREAT!!! It ws the first time I ever tasted sour cream and onion anything . . . I have asked many people if they remembered these and everyone thinks I am crazy and says they never made a sour cream and onion one - BRING 'EM BACk!

I actually went looking for these chips just now to find out the exact name of them. I was in highschool when I found them but according to people posting it seems like maybe they just did a regional release of them since I was in highschool in 2000. Our school store sold them and they had the same flavor described above. In fact, I believe the bag shown above is the picture from the bag released around 2000 as their newer bag design.

What a site. My wife thinks I'm nuts for even going to the Internet to read about others eating Sour Cream & Onion Doritos. I told her to leave.

I grew up outside of Philadelphia and specifically remember these. I used to ride my bike to the local grocery store and buy and finish a bag of these with my allowance. I can not for the life of me figure out why they would not want to bring these back. I'm sure they would be a huge seller.

No way, BARRY HOFFMAN - they woudln't be a huge seller because this is such an 80s flavor! Don't you know Sweet Chipotle is the new Sour Cream & Onion of the 21st Century???

I have been telling friends about these for years. I MISS THEM SO MUCH! They WERE the ABSOLUTE BEST flavor. I have never understood why they had to get rid of them. Well, I also didn't understand them CHANGING the taco flavored ones! Remember the original ones from around the same time as the SC&O? They were SPECTACULAR and my SECOND favorite flavor. The flavor collisions Zesty taco and ranch something are close, so I have to console myself with those. I fully intend to contact Frito Lay and BEG ON BENDED KNEE for them to bring back the SC&O Doritos. Maybe if we all set a day to call them and make the request they will have so many at once they will be convinced? Anyone game?

I remember these and I DID contact Frito Lay about why they don't bring them back. They claimed they weren't a good seller. I loved these things to death!! They had tht best flavor that was zesty and robust and I'm remembering this from like 1979 when I lived in Vermont (I'm 37 now)! I also have a gripe with Kraft who I can't convince to bring me the FATTY version of their Sour cream and onion ranch dressing!!!! What are these people thinking???? I guess all of the sour cram and onion freaks like me don't stand a chance :(

A a child in the late 70's, I used to save up my allowance every week and walk to the store and buy a big ole bag of them, along with a lemon coolIE (COOL,COOL,COOLIE LEMON TRUELY - COMMERCIAL LYRICS). Those were the days my friend's.....

Like alot of others that commented, I grew up in the 70's and 80's and totally remember these. My pops and I would go to the Holiday Station Store on Friday's for snacks. I would always pick out the SC&O Doritos. They were the absolute best flavor ever. Every once in a while while eating the cool ranch flavor, I get a hint of how SC&O tasted. Frito Lay, bring back that chip! Does anyone else remember the Salsa Rio flavor that was around in the late 80's, early 90's?

I remember Sour Cream and Onion in the green bag. Use to get atleast 1 bag per week in the early 1980's. I also remember Taco flavored was good, and think that died out right around when Sour Cream and Onion came along. I tried the Taco at midnight flavor the other day, and it wasn't the same.

I too was a fan of the Sour Cream & Onion Doritos. From the late 70's through the early 80's I bought many bags of em'. The bags then were white with green lettering and a big cheese block on the front.

Actaully, buy the Cool Ranch Dorito's they have today. they taste exactly like the Sour Cream and Onion ones of the past. I'm not sure why they changed the name of them, but they are just as good. It's a blue bag now, not green anymore.

Actually, I don't think the Cool Ranch ones taste anything like the Sour Cream and Onion Doritos. They were the best! When I was a teenager (and skinny!) I could eat a whole large bag in one sitting. The newer flavors just don't compare at all.

wow didnt beleive it myself. Friend just asked about them. I didnt even realize they existed.

I don't recall the sour cream flavor, but boy was I addicted to the Salsa Rio flavor. I really wish they would bring these back! If any one remembers these, and knows of a current flavor that comes close, PLEASE let me know! I am in serious need of a SALSA RIO FIX !!!

Boy do i remember being a kid eating those Sour Cream & Onion Doritos. They were my favorite. I just don't remember the bag being that bright. However these were the best flavor in my opinion of Doritos, and they need to bring them back. Was it discontinued 25 years ago? Wow that is a long time, but is doesn't seem that long.. WOW

FINALLY! PROOF THAT I'M NOT CRAZY AND MY FAVORITE DORITO OF ALL TIME TRULY DID EXIST! I too wish they would bring back the classic taste of SC&O Doritos.

When I saw all these comments, I just had to laugh. I was just sharing with my co-workers the story of how I would walk about a mile and half to the store when I had the money to buy a big bag of the SC&O chips. By the time I got home, they would almost be gone. Thanks for bringing back such wonderful memories. I've talked about these chips with my family and friends and it's great to see so many others have great memories as well. Bringing back the way they were orginally would be great, but I doubt they would ever get the flavor right. It's nice to dream!

Me and my best friend eric would cut grass or any yard work to have enough money to buy two mountain dews and a big bag of sour cream and onion doritos. I`m now 44 and thinking about those doritos makes my mouth water. FRITO LAY BRING THEM BACK! LET ME RELIVE THOSE MEMORIES!!!!!

I can't believe that so many people have the same story!! I LOVED Sour Cream and Onion Doritos when I was a kid...my grandma would always have them at her house and we would have them while watching TV. Every time I ask anyone if they remember them...nobody believes they ever existed. The only other flavor that I liked half as much was the recent White Nacho Cheese...but they discontinued that also. Bummer. BTW Cool Ranch is NOTHING like the SC&O...Cool Ranch is disgusting!

I WAS MORE THAT ADDICTED TO THEM I WOULD BUY THEM 3X A WEEK AND COULD'NT STOP EATING THEM AND WHEN THEY STOP SELLING THEM I STOP BUYING DORITOS SO IF YOU VALUE MONEY MAKE THEN AGAIN THANKS

Frtio Lay Co. BRING BACK MY SOUR CREAM AND ONION DORITOS!

Yes, I remember sour cream and onion doritos they were the best they made. Not sure why they stopped making them they should bring them back.

OMG!! I am not nuts after all!! I LOVED those Doritios, especially with my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They were the bomb!! No one I have ever mentioned this to believes me! Not even my husband and now thanks to your forum here I have been vindicated!! Thank You!

Late 70's - early 80's, Barrington, Illinois. Sour Cream and Onion Doritos. Good to go. Bring 'em back~!

I LOVED the Sour Cream & Onion Doritos. And apparently I lived not too far from JWD. I wish they would bring them back.

I remember getting these out of a vending machine while vacationing at a "dude" ranch in Parksville, NY, back in the early 80s! We loved them so much, we kept buying them all weekend until the machine was empty. I called Frito Lay in 2000 or so to ask if they still made this variety and the woman I spoke with said the flavor had been discontinued in the mid-80s and the closest flavor now was "Taco," which I think has since been discontinued.

omg they were my fav dorito also and like others people thought i was crazy, green bag why doesnt someone copy the link to this page and email it to fri to lay lol maybe they make them instead of those stupid flavors they have been making, ohio here i got my sc&o in randolph mass when i was 10

these doritos were my FAVORITE all time...please,bring them back!it takes me back to my childhood days when my dad would go to grocery store and buy a bag for me

Sour Cream & onion Doritos were and are the BEST flavor ever!!! OF coarse I love the other flavors but nothing quite like the good ole Sour Cream & onion! Please bring them back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they were the BEST snack ever & no one I ever mention them too remembers them!!! I wish they would bring them back :)

I too absolutley LOVED the Sour Cream and Onion Doritos!!! I just spent almost $4 on a big bag of Collisions Doritos with Cheesy Enchilada & Sour Cream in it only to find that it was NOT THE SAME!!! If they can make the sour cream why can't they just add the onion and make a bunch of folks beyond happy!!!! Those little green onion flakes were the BOMB!!! And licking your fingers once the bag was done was the BEST!!!! AHHH...MEMORIES!!!

The Sour Cream and Onion were the "Very Best Dorito to Date"!!! I just got an Email from Frito-Lay, and they will not be bringing them back. It makes no sense to me at all why they would'nt bring back a product that the people want. They would sell like crazy off the shelves! I don't think that the CEO ever has checked out this sight! "Bad Move Frito-Lay"

Holy Cow I do remeber them now that you said it, All the bags use to be like clear and u could see the chips and i do remeber them NOW wow holy cow

I just bought the Flavor Collision of Cheesy Enchiladas and Sour Cream. Came home and pick out the ones that were Sour Cream. Damn! -they don't taste anything like the Sour Cream and Onion I remember. Ok there is enough of us. We have got to get a campaign going to have them bring back Sour Cream and Onion Doritos. I loved them with a bottle of Sprite. Please Frito Lay- listen to the people!!!

Wow! I can't believe so many people are still talking about the Sour Cream & Onion Doritos, after so many years (and 2 1/2 years on this thread!). I was just talking to my wife about them while eating some Cool Ranch. She doesn't remember the SC & O, but it's good that she knows it's not a figment of my imagination. I loved loved loved them...I do remember them coming out when I was in about the 1st grade, about 1979-1980. Around that same time they had the Taco flavored Dorito's (which I would liken to the Chili Cheese Fritos). Hey, didn't they also have a salsa flavor sometime about 15-20 years ago? I wouldn't give up all hope since Retro seems to be a good way for corporations to cash in on recyled ideas, but it's strange that they discontinued some well-loved flavors that obviously made an impression, and yet have stuck with the Cool Ranch for nearly 25 years. "New ideas?" Not so sure, that.

OMG! I LOVED Sour Cream & Onion Doritos. When I was a little girl I remember my mom making a sandwich and we would stop by the store to get SC&O Doritos and then I would go ride ponies with a few of my friends. Great memories.. I'm so glad to know others remember this flavor and want it back too!

OMG! Every so often I think about the exhilariting flavor. This was my Saturday morning, early afternoon meal while watching cartoons. I was SO disappointed when they vanished! Some say that Cool Ranch is comparable --- I say ABSOLUTELY NO WAY! There was a kick of flavor in every bite. Your fingertips were covered with the powdery residue that you washed out in your mouth! They have so many trendy flavors, but Somebody start a petition and I'll be the FIRST to sign it to bring it back like it was.

totally need to bring these back - maybe like a flashback dorito

Man when I was a youngster my Grandmother in San Diego CA. stayed by this store that sold Sourcream and onion Doritos...Best chips hands down they where 25 cents a bag and the bag was stuffed with them...They should bring them back in the summer months or around Super Bowl they would make a killing.....

I knew I wasn't crazy!! I live in Indiana, and none of my friends remember these. They were the best!! Bring them Back!!

I remember them, too! I live in Massachusetts and I loved them. Good to see a) I'm not crazy and b) other people have great taste, like I do. I'd love to see them bring them back.

I used to eat these when I was a kid in Florida. With all of the stupid new flavors they keep coming up with (what the heck is "late night" flavors all about?!?), I can't understand why they won't bring back even a limited run of the old sour cream and onion. Dangit.

Check out the SC&O Doritos fan page on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=86927703767&ref=search&sid=832768488.1011953153..1

I remember these chips. I bought a bag on a whim back in the 70s and I was in love with them. I am in NC and they sold these chips here. I used to beg my dad to buy the big 99 cent family bag. I was a kid but I could eat the whole bag. I wish Frito Lay would bring them back. I missed that big green bag of doritos especially with a Coke.

I KNEW I wasn't crazy!! They did exist!...I miss them. Bring them back for a limited time and just see how well they do.

When I was growing up, Doritos Sour Cream & Onion was my favorite all time snack. I couldn't get enough of the Doritos. I grew up in Hawaii so I really don't think it was regional. Doritos or now Lay's should just be kind and at least release a limited edition.

Almost every afternoon when the school bus dropped me off, in 6th grade, I would walk to the 7-11 store and buy a bag of Sour Cream & Onion Doritos and a soda in the glass bottle. I'm 44 now and WISH they would come back they were the BEST!

WOW!!!! I lived in upsate NY and ate sour cream and onion doritos like they were gonna stop making them. Oh wait, they did! Cheers

I wonder if the fact Frito Lay dismissed they ever existed as one person here commented, if it is because there was a health danger ingredient in them & they don't want to get sued for past consumption & then took them off the market quickly & quietly. That is just a possible speculation though. OR, they have their own secret reasons why, or maybe they just didn't have the sales available to support continued distribution.

It's so funny that I have read this today! I went to Wal-Mart today and they had these doritos that have two flavors in the bag - one of the flavors was SOUR CREAM! They are so good - not exactly the same as they use to be but close!

I miss these chips, they are one of the best chips ever made, and I am a chip freak. Please bring them back.

I remember those Sour Cream & Onion Doritos like yesterday. I used to get a bag everyday. And they were only .49 cents a bag. I think about those chips almost everyday. I saw that they had brought out anotha Sour Cream & Onion but it wasnt the same. Nope not the same. And I wish they would read this site and try to make a replica of them or something. I told my husband about them and he was like "WHAT?" Im obsessed with those chips.

I miss these soooo much. .. The lime green color of the bag and the see-through window so you could actually see the chips inside. They were the best chips ever. They discontinued them to make Cool Ranch Doritos-they're ok but no comparison to Sour cream & onion.

i asked my friends about the green doritos bag and they thought i was crazy... finally people who understand my sorrow. please bring back that great chip! and if anyone can find a good quality picture of the bag, please post it. i thought there was another bag design after the one posted

I have asked my husband as well as others if they remembered sour cream and onion doritos and they had no idea what I was talking about. I was telling my 13 year-old daughter how good they were and was trying to describe how good they taste. The ranch doritos are as close as they get, but nothing can compare. I used to buy them from a corner store on the way to school @ 56th & market in west philly while waiting for the 31 bus. Wow, what a thing to eat so early in the morning, but they sure were good!!! I surely would love to see them back in the stores again and that would be to stay!!!!
