Doritos, after 70 years, say it ain't so! In this crazy, wild, wacky world, you were the one thing we could depend on! The Mike & Carla Morning Show revealed that after all this time, Doritos is changing the shape of their chip!

Can't believe this is happening...or is it? Could this just be a ploy to have people start talking again about the tasty snack? Or are they ramping up to pull off a prank during the BIG GAME?

According to a recent article in the Daily Mail, a very conspicuous post on Instagram left fans guessing. That the brank was "exploring" different shapes for the chip.

Doritos: After 70 Years, Might Be Changing Their Shape

Well, fans are not to happy about this, whether it's a joke or not! We're guessing you can joke around about a lot of things, but when it comes to the shape of Doritos, you've crossed the line.

Mike O'Brian voiced his displeasure with the decision...if it's true. "No way!" claimed Mike and if they do, that is the end of civilization as we know it!

On the other hand, Carla Rea really didn't care either way...as long as they don't change the taste of it! But you have to hear what some listeners had to say about the chance of Doritos "exploring" different shapes.

People are serious about this! We count on certain things as humans to stay the same. To keep an even keel and to reassure us that we are going to be okay. Hot Dogs, French Fries and Apple Pie...the constants in a slice of Americana that keep us grounded.

If they change the shape of this chip, where do you draw the line? What next...dogs living with cats? But again, if this is just a marketing ploy ramping up to the BIG GAME, then bravo Doritos, you've sucked us in!

Loaded Potato Skins

These are a budget-friendly option that can be made with ingredients that you probably already have on hand. It's a more effortless appetizer made with the crispy skins of a baked potato filled with bacon, cheese, sour cream, and chives. To make it more of an appetizer, you can opt for smaller potatoes.
