Creating Doritos
The Process of making Doritos
Juan Gonzalez
Pedegree II teacher: Alana Olson Is it good or bad for health? That's a question many people say to themselves, but the truth is that whether bad unhealthy or not, Doritos has become part of people's daily life when it comes to grocery shopping. Probably when Arch West created the Doritos idea, he never tought that it would become what is now; because from 1990's until now (and counting) are the most famous and most tasty chips in the world. Obviously thisnhas to do with Frito Lay's process of marketing, manufacturing, and organizing in order to develop the final product, this process has been made from many years and they will keep it on the future years, but this process is most complicated than most people think, it requires lots and lots of effort and not to mention the steps that they have to deal carefully with it, for sure Frito Lay works pretty good on all of their products, but this one is way much bigger than the rest and uses the majority of the company resources, the process is more carefully taken, it requires four basic steps. The first step to produce Doritos is making a research about the right locations to sell the product. Frito Lay uses marketing research and investigation techniques which icompanytype of product, price evaluation, distribution channels, service quality, marketing performance and buyer and consumer researches (Beckman, Davison and Talarzyk 552-553). The type of product needs to be evaluated before placing it into one market, then wonder about how much does it costs to produce it, so Frito Lay can consider a price for its selling. Once they have made the budget for costs, an analysis about how can this product reach to the final consumer is made, this is called "Distribution Channel", some examples of the distribution channels are markets, groceries and gas station stores. Frito Lay must also evaluate the quality of the product

    The competition that challenged Frito – Lay was none other than Wise, Pringles, and Chipos. Wise because they had been around since the 1920’s, and Pringles and Chips because these chips were made from mashed or dehydrated potatoes and shaped into a uniformed shape that could be stacked inside of a can or packaged in a box. They had several advantages over the regular potato chips: one advantage was that their packaging made them less fragile, the second advantage was that their packaging was less bulky and easier to ship, and the third advantage was that they could be made and shipped in on location. The main advantage of these two competitors were that they were backed by two product giants, Pringles by Proctor & Gamble Company and Chipos by General Mills, Inc. Frito – Lay also had other competitors in other snack categories, such as Nabisco, Inc. with Mister Salty pretzels and Standard Brands, Inc. with Planters…

    The most effective commercials of the three finalist, and the one I think should win the contest is the “Doritos Dogs”. The “Doritos Dogs” uses the transfer technique which uses something(like a like a animal, etc.) that makes you feel a certain way; to make you feel the about something else(the Doritos). This commercial uses the fact that lot of people like dogs, and people go,“Hey, these two things have nothing in common, but they’re in a commercial together. I like one of them; I must like the other!” Also, the commercial, like most nowadays, appeals to your humor and make you laugh; which can blind your judgement, and leads you to buy something you probably don’t need. Then there’s the fact because kids see it(under 13), and then they're…

    At first it was seen as a simple and innocent creation, but later on took a toll on the children. I was able to discuss the Hot Cheetos topic with my cousin Guadalupe and understand the effects these chips caused her. At first she did not feel any sort of symptoms or pains, but little by little, she began experiencing a pain in her stomach. She began throwing-up everything she ate, right after eating the chips. She would spend sleepless nights getting up and down, just to throw up, because Hot Cheetos irritated her stomach way too much! “As soon as I ate Hot Cheetos, I would feel my stomach begin to burn up, but I did not understand why. If everyone else could eat them, why couldn’t I. Sometimes I wondered if I was the only one.”Clearly she wasn’t the only one, and her stomach pains had a…
