Something Creative With those Sweet Chili Dorito Stickers
I like Colbert but I don't like the way he shills for Doritos. I know it's all tongue-in-cheek nudge-nudge kind of stuff, but Doritos are trying to buy some street-cred for their shit product through Colbert's connectedness with the youth of America. It's yucky.
Here's the first clip where Colbert creates this wacky marketing ploy to connect his recent Peabody award to Doritos:
Interestingly, his guest on this same Friday was the author of Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations (something close to my heart)
His guest explained that what would really prove the premise of his book, is if people went out and did something unexpected and creative with those Peabody labels that were supposed to placed on the Doritos bags:
I decided to take Colbert up on the challenge. I've re-engineered the labels to have a more appropriate message for affixing to to the Doritos bags:

Please help me spread the word.
jwrayIn very small quantities, glutamate and guanylate are actually good for you. In small doses, the salt and fat in Doritos is harmless. Over the last 10 years, almost everything that previously contained trans fat has been reformulated to have much less trans fat, Doritos included. Having a bag of doritos once a week won't hurt you. Having one every day probably will.

What about all the sodium - can't you get your daily recommended sodium intake in one handful? Who eats one handful of Doritos?
Also MSG is a little different from naturally occurring glutamate as found in seaweed and other foods IIRC - something about the direction of the molecule. IANAMB - just saying.
jwrayIf you buy the vending machine size bag, it literally is just one handful (most of the bag is air).
btw, it's 13% of the maximum daily sodium per bag.

My baked lays have the same amount of salt per calorie.
winkler1Love the stickers. BTW I googled around and it looks like Doritos is not paying for the mentions..it's just a gag taken too far.
The problems with high-calorie mass produced food is it tastes exactly the same each time.. that raises your body's set point (target weight).
