jalapedia:

March 2010, I fell in love in North Carolina. You know when you like a person for ages and finally finally you kiss and then no matter how long you guys are together after that nothing quite recreates that first kiss thrill?

Since I had Doritos 1st Degree Burn Blazin’ Jalapeño flavour I’ve been chasing that feeling.

These babies were created as part of a little gimmick where Doritos brought out chips rated first, second (buffalo) and third (habanero) degree burn. The idea was you eat them and drink the special Pepsi Max Cease Fire. God bless America, right? 

I couldn’t find any of the special Pepsi but went for the chips anyway, because I’m a total badass. Oh my goodness they tasted EXACTLY like eating from the bowl of extra jalapeños you’ve requested at the mexican restaurant… Which I’ve obviously never done because that would be gross.

Just like with real jalapeños you have a feeling where your mouth burns but each bite brings a new sharpness, cutting through any discomfort. BUT IT’S CRISPS, can you imagine?

Genuinely did have a dull ache in my stomach for like about two days after I ate these Doritos, although it might be unfair to blame that entirely on the Doritos, given the mass amounts of food I was eating in America.

I went straight out and got a pack to bring home for my brother.
