    Grocery Growth Ray To Hit Ketchup, Chips

    A grocery growth ray is set to hit a popular condiment and several kinds of baked corn with names ending "tos." To push the brands as being good values, Heinz will be selling slightly larger ketchup bottles, and Frito-Lay is adding 20% to Tostitos, Fritos, Cheetos and Doritos - without raising the price. Unlike the grocery shrink ray, you can bet this change will be loudly trumpeted on the package.

    These Doritos Are Going To Last A While

    Frito-Lay has been all sorts of innovative lately—using pumpkin to make snack chips, sticking Cheetos up people's noses—but they've outdone themselves with their latest packaging triumph. Duke writes,

    Hey guys — Just wanted to let you know that with all of this grocery shrink ray action that is going on, it is nice to see some companies doing something to make their product last a little longer. The only question is...what kind of preservatives are in these Doritos so they will last until August 39th???

    We wonder if Frito-Lay has discovered how to add an extra eight days to the calendar, or if they mean August 2039, in which case we think Duke shouldn't eat them—he should sell them on CraigsList as roofing material.

    How About Those Super Bowl Ads!

    Last night's commercials were a tame batch of disappointment. Everybody wanted cutesy animals—squirrels, horses, ponies, pigeons, crickets, dogs, lions, and lizards—to endorse their products. After the jump, the four spots that caught our eye. More »

    Free Doritos In North Carolina

    "A cargo container that apparently fell from a ship washed up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina today and spilled thousands of bags of Doritos brand tortilla chips on the beach. Scavengers collected the chips, which were apparently still fresh due to their airtight packaging. It was unknown which ship had lost the cargo or to what port it was bound." More »

    Happy Memorial Day!

    Happy Memorial Day, everyone! John Brownlee here. After a 7 hour flight from Dublin to Boston magically transmogrified into a 19 hour ordeal, I'm finally in Boston for a couple weeks. Say, when did they change that Doritos package, anyway? I don't approve. There's a Memorial Day Parade going on outside my window. Immediate observation: Malden High School lets fat girls be cheerleaders now. A good move. Those cheerleader pyramids need a firm base. More »
