Food Review: Doritos Late Night Tacos After Midnight

Oh these are just weird. Good, but weird. You open the bag, and what you smell is lettuce. You take a bite, and your first thought is lettuce, followed by, 'I think I just ate a whole taco.' They taste exactly like tacos. You've got the lettuce, the tomato, the taco sauce, the meat, and the shell all in one handy little chip.
I'm not quite sure when you're supposed to eat them, though. These aren't just something you would eat along with your sandwich. They taste too much like a meal in themselves. And yet, they are not a meal in themselves, so you'd be awfully hungry if they were all you ate. I guess the best time to eat them would be, like they claim, after midnight, for a snack while you're studying for finals or something. But seeing as I don't so much have those anymore, I'm just left confused.
These chips are good, so I recommend them. But please, if you do try them, let me know in what context I should eat them. Thank you.

Weird. They remind me of the gum on Charlie & the Chocolate Factory that tastes like an entire meal. Hopefully you don't turn into a taco or something after eating these...

Uh oh. What if it always goes wrong right after you taste the tomato?

I'm intrigued, and want to try them, but I really don't want to have to buy them. Ask Chip Man to hook me up.

I keep forgetting that I need to buy them.

Ok, so I bought them, and here are my thoughts. They taste just like a taco. If you eat them very slowly (which is what you're supposed to do), you taste lettuce first, then tomato, then shell, then meat, then taco sauce, and you're left with a taco sauce taste in your mouth. Very intriguing (and yes, they stole Wonka's idea) and tasty. However, I don't think eating should require so much thinking.
