A Food Singularity

Your parents and grandparents probably never thought they'd live in an age where there would be computers the size of a coin or the interweb or any billion other achievements that time and technology have brought.  And just so, did our modern generation never expect the Doritos Loco Taco...but that's just the start.

In a nice little reciprocal marketing move, Frito-Lay is going to be offering Doritos in a Taco Bell  flavor.  Yes, they're reconstituting their chips to taste like a combination of nacho cheese and taco flavors, which, I assume is as simple as mixing in a packet of meat seasoning (paging Lawry's for a corporate three way).  You won't have too wait too long - this spring, we'll see if the flavor fancy goes both ways.

Of course, it's just a matter of time before we see Doritos Locos Tacos made from Taco Bell Taco flavored Doritos, right?  This will undoubtedly create a diarrhea paradox for all eaters, and prompt the chicken (taco) and egg question about what flavor begat which item.  Very meta - though the internal cramping and bleeding may not be.  And perhaps I'm burying the lede a little too, but there will be Cool Ranch flavored Doritos Locos Tacos coming...
