Yeah, why were these discontinued??? I've been craving these for over a decade - by far the best Doritos ever made

Just like The Dude said these were the best Doritos ever made. I personally bought enough to where they should have never been discontinued. I dont know what happened.

I have been feeling the same way these guys do about S.R BBQs. I really don't think any of these chips will ever compare. Is there any chance they might come back?????
Elissa - October 25, 2008 - Report this comment
God damn I miss these chips. They were like the Tbone of chips. I dont like regular doritos. Im going to email them and see why the hell they are denying me the right to awesome smokiness and amazing bbq goodness that was the Smoky Red BBQ Dorito.

I miss you Awesome flavor and red finger tips! Even more than those crazy drinks with the gel balls inside!
Amanda - October 14, 2009 - Report this comment
I miss these like crazy. They completely spoiled me for BBQ chips; nothing else will ever come close again. Dorito always does away with the awesome, original flavors and goes back to making Nacho Cheese/Cooler Ranch variations. Blazin' Buffalo Ranch is my current favorite. I've created a stockpile of it for when Doritos inevitably gives it the axe!

I wish they would bring these back too! Best Doritos I ever had and I still miss them!
Elissa - December 14, 2009 - Report this comment
It has been a year since I posted and still yet-no Smoky Red BBQ Doritos. I have yet again emailed Frito Lay. Will I get an answer? Who knows Maybe there was lead in the Smoky Red dye they used to color the chips. Honestly-I don't care. I will, for the rest of my life, purpose to bring these chips back into the mouths of America-Nay-THE WORLD.

They still sell them in canada, you can buy them for a rather inflated price out of a company in north dakota that imports them from canada. they are on ebay.

Randy Cone - July 08, 2010 - Report this comment
@charlie: LOL, I thought that I had consumed enough of them to keep the company in the black. Absolutely my all time favorite chips.
Leda Romero - September 12, 2010 - Report this comment
I used to buy these chips all the time, now you can't find them anywhere?? They were the best ever!! I wonder if you can buy them online, does anyone know why they stopped selling them?

I just found an old empty Dorito bag while metal detecting... apparently it is a smokey bbq fume flavoured. I think I'll keep it.

BRING SMOKEY RED BBQ BACK PLEASE!!!!
Eric brinovec - July 26, 2017 - Report this comment
The bbq heatwave has resurrected cherished memories of these chips from the 90s. I guess it's the closest thing and it's pretty damn good. But they should bring back the Smokey Red barbecue which I initially thought were spicier barbecue but I guess I must be getting forgetful in my old age 20 years after the existence of this amazing chip! It was hands down the best flavor I've ever tasted.

Lets do a petition to ask for them back
Mr X - March 25, 2018 - Report this comment
The Smokey red bbq Doritos can still be found in the bbq munchies, I buy them solely for those little delicious morsels, the frustrating part is that means they are still being made but u can’t buy just a bag of them by themselves, wich is bs...
Greg - October 08, 2019 - Report this comment
I still have some of the original shopping cart ads featuring Ali Landry and the Smokey Red BBQ chips that were never used on shopping carts. I used to install the shopping cart ads in my hometown back in the 90's and these ads were left over so I kept them.

So I’m sitting here eating lunch with my wife. And we are talking about these chips at this Mexican restaurant. And for some reason we go down the rabbit hole of chips we love. And I tell her the best chips to ever hit my lips were the Smokey Red BBQ’S. She never had them so has no idea what I’m talking about. She asked me how long ago they were out. And I say idk maybe 10-12 years. Jesus I’m getting old. It’s been 24 years since I had the best chip ever made. Sitting here reading these comments made me laugh. She was like no freaking way there is a forum for these chips and people are still talking about them. I’m all for starting this petition and getting these bad boys back in all our mouths. I’m gonna start a FB dedicated to the return of the Smokey Red BBQ.

I'm eating some "Bold BBQ" Doritos from Canada, but its just not quite the same. These have a much stronger onion flavor and not enough smokey. I hope one day the Smokey Red BBQ Doritos show back up...

THEY'RE BACK!! Hallelujah!! It's a black bag "sweet and tangy" and they taste just like I remember! :')
