Hybrid Snack Feasts

The Doritos Smash Bags at Junked Food Co Boast an Extreme Combo

— March 23, 2015 — Lifestyle
A new late night junk food haunt in Toronto is serving up a delightful and possibly delirious snack option in the form of Doritos Smash Bags. The snack-dinner hybrid takes one's post-bar potato chip indulgence to the next level, infusing chip bags with meat and other embellishments.

The Doritos Smash Bags portion of Junked Food Co's menu features a variety of twists on the dish likely inspired by the Frito Pie. In addition to a vegetarian and poutine option, the Doritos Smash Bags come topped with dark chocolate chicken chili or Dr. Pepper pulled pork. The selection of meat compliments a Doritos bag filled with shredded cheese, lettuce, sour cream, chili sauce, tomato and black olives.

The Doritos Smash Bags are meant to be enjoyed fiercely and quickly, with little time to admire the delicious mess inside the bag.
Trend Themes
1. Snack-dinner Hybrid - Opportunity for food companies to create innovative snack options that combine the flavors of a snack and a full meal.
2. Meat-infused Chips - Potential for chip manufacturers to develop meat-flavored varieties that appeal to carnivorous snack enthusiasts.
3. Unconventional Toppings - Space for culinary entrepreneurs to experiment with unconventional toppings on chips, such as dark chocolate chicken chili or Dr. Pepper pulled pork.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry has the potential to create and market hybrid snack options that cater to consumers' desire for convenience and indulgence.
2. Snack Food - Snack food manufacturers can explore the creation of unique chip flavors infused with meat or other unconventional ingredients to appeal to adventurous eaters.
3. Fast Food - Opportunity for fast food chains to expand their menu options by offering snack-dinner hybrid items that combine the best of both worlds for their customers.
