It's the '80s Again as Doritos Releases Special 'Stranger Things' Flavor Actorsvaultpro

The conclusion of Stranger Things is right around the corner. While saying goodbye is definitely bittersweet, it also feels like a perfect opportunity to revisit the era that the show beautifully portrays. It’s the fashion, the music, and even the food in the show that brings a little nostalgia and makes us remember the ’80s. As Netflix promotes the release of the final season, they’ve teamed up with another brand to make the experience… crunchier. Doritos is also going back in time by releasing some limited-edition flavors with the coolest packaging you can imagine. If snacks can make you think of the past, then “Doritos Collisions: Stranger Pizza x Cool Ranch” must be added to your grocery list.

As reported by Fangoria, Doritos is changing its packaging this fall to celebrate the release of Stranger Things Season 5. Their usual flavors, Nacho Cheese, Spicy Sweet Chili, Cool Ranch, and Sweet & Tangy BBQ are now in stores with the retro packaging. “Doritos Collisions: Stranger Pizza x Cool Ranch” is a limited-edition flavor that mashes the classic flavors that were popular in the ’80s. Tina Mahal, a PepsiCo Foods marketing representative, expressed her enthusiasm for the release of the limited-edition Doritos:

“Our fans have been asking us for a pizza-flavored Doritos for some time, it’s one of our top requested flavors and the launch of Stranger Things Season 5 felt like the perfect time to deliver.

“The new Doritos Collisions Stranger Pizza x Cool Ranch mash-up in its retro ’80s bag was designed to fit perfectly into 1987 Hawkins where pizza is a part of fan lore and Doritos Cool Ranch would have been one of the hottest new snacks.”

If you’re lucky enough to buy one of these limited edition Doritos, you might want to save a few bags for the biggest TV event of the year. The series officially ends in 2025 with Season 5, an epic reunion for most of the show’s characters, as they try their best to defeat Vecna once again. The synopsis for Season 5 reads as follows:

Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.

Season 5 of Stranger Things will be exclusively released on Netflix in three parts at the end of the year. Four episodes will stream on November 26, the following three episodes on Christmas Day, and the finale will be available on New Year’s Eve.
