As Stranger Things comes to an end this fall, everybody’s getting in on the fun to send the series off with a bang. Doritos is one of them, having just announced a new collection of limited-edition flavors and retro packaging inspired by the ‘80s setting of Netflix’s biggest series ever, available in stores now.
The star of the new collection is their new Doritos Collisions: Stranger Pizza x Cool Ranch, which mashes up two flavors inspired not only by the ‘80s but by one of Doritos’ most iconic flavors, which was all the rage in the late ‘80s. Available in stores now, the new treat retails for $6.29USD for a nine ounce bag or $2.69 for a 2.6 ounce bag.
Limited-edition Stranger Things themed packaging will also be coming to four classic Doritos flavors, including Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, Sweet & Tangy BBQ, and Spicy Sweet Chili, plus on their mini versions of Spicy Sweet Chili, which will also come with special glow-in-the-dark details.
“Our fans have been asking us for a pizza-flavored Doritos for some time, it’s one of our top requested flavors and the launch of Stranger Things Season 5 felt like the perfect time to deliver,” said Tina Mahal, SVP of Marketing at PepsiCo Foods US. “The new Doritos Collisions Stranger Pizza x Cool Ranch mash-up in its retro 80’s bag was designed to fit perfectly into 1987 Hawkins where pizza is a part of fan lore and Doritos Cool Ranch would have been one of the hottest new snacks.”
This new collab arrives ahead of the final season of the hit Netflix series, which will be releasing in two parts this winter. The synopsis for Season 5 is as follows:
It’s the fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.
Doritos’ new Stranger Things collaboration is available in stores now.
