In Amsterdam they sell Doritos that taste like me

Posted by Jul on 12 March 2007

Or maybe they taste like ranch dressing, like my friend Saron said. I didn’t actually try them. I did experience some major super-market envy while walking through her local Albert Heijn, though. It was way bigger than my local Migros, and it offered a bunch of foods I’ve never seen here. And it stays open until 10 PM! Can you imagine? A world where it is possible to have a full-time job AND do your grocery shopping on a weekday. I’d forgotten places like those exist.

  there’s something vaguely un-German about stores open past 8.

  Hey Jul,

  I live in Amsterdam. Although Cool American does taste nice, they’re a bit too strong to have a whole bag of.

  My 2¢.

  Thanks for the tip, Timen. I don’t even actually like Doritos, but I seem to have developed a fetish for photographing them.

  Back in the states they’re called Cool Ranch and you can get them in Switzerland, too (at least in Bern) if you want to pay about 8 dollars for a bag of Doritos.

  Yep, its that time of year again. I started work and find that there is no time to shop for food cos all the food shops are closed when I am finished work. I have resorted to ordering emergency supplied of dried milk from the UK for all those times that I forget to go to the shops at the right time!
