Doritos Cool American snacks

Doritos originated in the United States in the 1960s, created by Arch West at the Casa de Fritos restaurant in Disneyland. It became a global phenomenon after being acquired and scaled by the Frito-Lay division of PepsiCo. The 'Cool American' flavor is the European equivalent of the 'Cool Ranch' flavor popular in North America.

Today, Doritos is owned by PepsiCo, one of the world's largest food and beverage corporations. While the brand is American by origin, production is decentralized to serve local markets. In Europe, the product is primarily manufactured in facilities across the Netherlands and Belgium for the Benelux and Scandinavian regions, as indicated by the regional PepsiCo Nederland and BeLux addresses on the packaging.
