I don't think it's astroturfing to talk about what food engineers have figured out about human taste preferences.
A lot of people spent a lot of time and money figuring out what drives people to mindlessly eat. Then the ignored the health ramifications and started selling a lot of products that are just different textures of salted sugar fat with glutamate.
Same reason you'll absentmindedly eat a basket of bread if you have cinnamon butter, or cinnamon rolls.
We can use the food science to predict that there's probably a mild aged cheese that would be great on a cinnamon roll.
So what do you hate about doritos?
Too salty for my taste, the cheese ones make me feel awful and every other flavor tastes like gym bag smell.
Oh, and the dehydration mixed with salt blowing out your taste buds makes water taste off, so you're just dehydrated longer.
Are you actually thinking that a joke image where someone isn't overly impressed with doritos is viral advertising? On a platform with negligible traffic? With shills who call the product unhealthy?
That's so weird I might not even be able to finish my Crystal Pepsi ®.
