DORITOS has discontinued a popular flavor – but fans might get their wish for it to come back.
Oftentimes, major snack brands will test new flavors and see how they do in terms of sales and popularity.

Doritos recently tested out a hot mustard flavor.
One fan of the variety on X tweeted that they were down to the last bag of the flavor.
"Doritos I’m really going to need more please please please," the fan said.
In response, parent company Frito-Lay broke the news the hot mustard variety has been axed and was only available for a limited time – but left hope that it might return in the future.

"We know that’s a big disappointment so we’re sharing with our team all the feedback we receive from our loyal, passionate fans as they may consider bringing it back in the future," the brand said.
Walmart customers online scored the flavor 3.8 stars out of five.
One five-star reviewer said: "If I had known that these were seasonal, I would've purchased 20 or 30 bags for my pantry. Now they are sold out and I can't find them anywhere! Cruel joke Doritos!
And another wrote: "These are delicious! My new favorite! The mustard almost has a wasabi kick. It tastes a lot like the McDonald's hot mustard sauce. I hope they keep them around for awhile!"
