As exciting as winning the lottery....kinda!


This is my big find from the Grocery Store this weekend. I always get excited when I find something vaguely American. It made me laugh Doritos Cool American, what flavor is American?
Turns out it's Cool Ranch....so now the Germans are going to think American taste a lot like Ranch flavoring! You don't even want to know how much I paid for this little gem of a find. It's not even a regular size chip bag, not quite as small as a lunch size but it's a wanna be regular size chip bag. Needless to say Katelyn had some friends over and it was gone in seconds flat.

Cool Ranch Doritos are #1 in our house. I can only imagine what you'd do for a bag of Twizzlers.

Ranch is the unofficial new ketchup.

Nice of you to share, I would have polished them off in the car.

Reminds me of a packet of potato chips i found in India, "Aussie Flavor," and the spices they'd used to make it "Aussie" was something this Aussie had never heard of :)

In the UK those ones are called Cool Original flavour.

OH! You are so lucky, the closest to 'Cool American' that I have been able to find in Japan is 'Taco' flavored.

This post reminded me of the time I saw Dr. Pepper and neglected to buy it...it was the last time I saw it too...last August...
