Doritos X-13D
by Doritos
Gone, at least by name. It went national in May 2007 and Frito-Lay pulled it when the sweepstakes ended that July. A cheeseburger Doritos later turned up under the Late Night banner, but X-13D itself never came back.
A Doritos flavor sold in a plain black bag with no name on it, and the customers were asked to name it. Most guessed cheeseburger. Six weeks later it was off the shelves, exactly as planned.
π§Ύ One more thingMore than 150,000 people played and sent in over 43,000 names, and it sold about three times as well as a typical limited edition. A Frito-Lay manager said his favorite suggestion was 'Big Mac Attack.'
