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.
