The Doritos x Stranger Things Black Garlic Dip has been announced by the PepsiCo-owned brand in the UK as a snack product that will get fans excited for the final season of the sci-fi series.
The product consists of a rich, creamy dip that boasts the bold flavor of garlic in every bite and has been paired with a charcoal black color to give it a ghoulish appearance. The product is crafted with the taste and texture of Doritos snack chips in mind to encourage consumers to pair it with their favorite flavor of the classic tortilla chips. Priced at £2.50 per 270-gram container, the dip is a limited time offering.
The Doritos x Stranger Things Black Garlic Dip is positioned as a great snack product for fans, but is also expected to be a hit with a wider segment of shoppers thanks to its Halloween-appropriate appearance.
