I work at a University. We were cleaning out a grad student area and lodged behind an old TV was a bag of Doritos, with chips still in them, FROM 1984!!!!! Whoa!!! Talk about a flashback... it was like looking back in time. For that reason, it was a pretty cool discovery, but it's also kind of disgusting considering this group of grads hadn't cleaned this area for over 22 years!!!

That is AWESOME!

Brings back memories!

Remember they used to make Corn Chips?

My dad loved those!

I didn't dare eat one, but I thought this was ironic too!! The chips are still crunchy btw!!! I smashed a few just to see.

Wow, I could really go for some 1984 Doritos with extra cheese flavour right about now. If only I had some brownie mix to dip them in...

HAHA I remember when the bags looked like that! They also had, around the same time or a bit after, that Salsa Rio flavor which I'm STILL PISSED that they discontinued! Check out the old-school nutrition labels on that thing.

I don't believe those are really from 1984. I notice the date on the bag....but a few things don't add up to me. I don't believe they started "freshness dating" chips until the late 1980s/early 1990s.... Plus, I remember that bag design.....just can't put my finger on when they stopped making them.

I'm just thinking they may be a few years newer than 23.
