Doritos Australia has announced the launch of a new range of chips that are sure to please fans across the country.
The new Doritos XXL are 30 percent larger and crispier than standard Doritos chips.
This tasty treat will be available from Wednesday 24 July in four different flavours: Ultimate Cheddar, Inferno Chilli & Lime, Smokehouse BBQ and Tangy Salsa.
The latest offering is said to be a “bolder snacking experience” and fans can purchase the snack for $4.80 at Coles stores and independent retailers.
Kat Miller, Senior Brand Manager, Doritos ANZ, PepsiCo said: ‘Doritos XXL is all about delivering an extraordinary snacking experience. We want to offer a snack that is not just satisfying, but exciting too.
‘This new range combines everything people love about Doritos with bigger XXL chips, a great crunch and even more powerful flavours.
“We are confident that this new range will deliver the intense snacking experience that chip lovers are looking for.”
This came after the brand launched the striking coffee flavor on July 3, which led to divided opinions.

The chip makers describe the coffee flavour as ‘the perfect pick-me-up to beat the 3pm slump’ and the taste is sure to catch the attention of fans.
The snack combines the satisfying aromatic taste of coffee with the iconic Doritos crunch. But it has already caused a stir among those who have tried it.
Several curious Australians who managed to get their hands on the chips early gave their honest opinions – and many disapproved.
“Yuck! That’s disgusting, sorry Doritos,” one woman said after frowning. She gave the limited edition flavor a zero out of ten.
‘What’s that? That’s not even one [out of ten]. That’s horrible. Coffee? Why?’ said one man after trying the chip for the first time.

“Honestly, that’s the worst thing I’ve ever had. Ever. It tastes like cardboard with coffee on it,” he said after his second chip.
A third said with a contorted face: ‘No, from me.’
Most taste testers rated the snack a two, but a handful said the snack “deserves a seven.”
A select group wasn’t too keen on the sweet coffee taste, but they weren’t sure if they would buy it themselves.
“Wow, it’s kind of sweet,” one woman said.

“It’s not that bad. I’d give it a seven, but I’d eat anything,” another man added.
