Doritos Is Releasing Zero Gravity Chips Fit for Space Travel — Here’s How to Get Yours
ure, going to space is cool and all, but is it really worth it if you can't enjoy some Doritos Cool Ranch while you're in orbit?
Freeze-dried ice cream is so Apollo 11. Now, Doritos has finally made snacking in the stars possible with a new chip made for space.
Doritos' limited-edition "Doritos minis Cool Ranch Zero Gravity flavored tortilla chips" are designed specifically for consuming at zero gravity. The chips not only consider how to keep that delicious cheese dust from floating away but also take into account how one might eat chips in space — they're bite-sized, so you can eat them in one bite and don't have to worry about crumbs polluting the cabin.
The chips are scheduled to make their debut on SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission later this month. That mission aims to take advantage of Falcon 9 and Dragon's maximum performance and hopes to fly higher than any Dragon mission to date, with the goal of reaching the highest Earth orbit ever flown — seems like something that will totally be possible now that they have the right snacks on board.
For the release of the chips, Doritos has partnered with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. As part of the partnership, Doritos is making a $500k donation to the hospital for its mission of the non-space variety: "Finding cures. Saving children everywhere."
