According to Thomas L. Harris's ''Value-Added Public Relations'', "the most-used single video news release of 1995" was a Doritos Super Bowl Commercial featuring recently defeated US state governors [[Mario Cuomo]] and [[Ann Richards]]. The pair were discussing change and the ad ended with viewers aware that the change they referred to was not political, but rather a new packaging for Doritos. The ad generated a great deal of publicity before it ever ran and much discussion afterward. The governors later parodied their ad; when they were interviewed on the [[CBS news]] program ''[[60 Minutes]]'', the two were often seen eating Doritos.<ref name="harris112">Harris (1999), p. 112.</ref> In 1998, Doritos cast former [[Miss USA]] [[Ali Landry]] in a new Super Bowl Commercial. In the ad, filmed in a Laundromat, she plays a sexy customer who catches Doritos chips in her mouth as they come flying helter-skelter. The ad was such a success that Frito-Lay signed Landry, who became known as "The Doritos Girl," to a three-year contract.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Horovitz |first=Bruce |date=February 1, 2002 |title=From zero to hero in 30 seconds flat |url=https://www.usatoday.com/money/covers/2002-02-01-super-bowl-ads.htm#more |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107152102/http://www.usatoday.com/money/covers/2002-02-01-super-bowl-ads.htm#more |archive-date=January 7, 2009 |access-date=November 12, 2008 |work=USA Today}}</ref> For [[Super Bowl XLI#Advertising|Super Bowl XLI]], Doritos launched a contest, [[Crash the Super Bowl]], to allow consumers to create their own Doritos commercial. The general public was allowed to vote for their favorite of five finalists. According to Doritos, the vote was so close that just before the game the company decided to run two of the ads rather than just one. Both commercials finished highly in ratings of commercials during this Super Bowl.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Elliott |first=Stuart |date=February 6, 2007 |title=Thanks to the Web, the Scorekeeping on the Super Bowl has just begun |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/06/business/media/06adco.html?_r=1&adxnnlx=1170866695-JT30AKfez1R%20Csnkn/hHvA&pagewanted=all |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130530175152/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/06/business/media/06adco.html?_r=1&adxnnlx=1170866695-JT30AKfez1R%20Csnkn/hHvA&pagewanted=all |archive-date=May 30, 2013 |access-date=November 12, 2008 |work=New York Times}}</ref> [[Super Bowl XLII#Commercials|The following year]], Doritos sponsored a contest to find a musician to feature in a Super Bowl ad.

This ad featured a man who discovers that each crunch from his bag of Doritos causes whatever is on his mind to become reality (until he runs out of chips). Another popular commercial from the group of finalist included an executive making a presentation to other executives on a new (fictional) Doritos flavor called "Doritos Beer", which, as the name implies, is [[beer]]-flavored Doritos, with each chip containing as much [[alcohol (drug)|alcohol]] as an equivalent of a 16-oz. can of beer. The executive making the presentation, eating the beer-flavored chips, ends up [[drunkenness|drunk]] on the chips and is down to his [[undergarment|underwear]] and a [[Necktie|tie]] by the end of the commercial.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 27, 2009 |title=Doritos Super Bowl XLIII Commercial: New Flavor Pitch |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhgsz5DH7Mo |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100619033712/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhgsz5DH7Mo |archive-date=2010-06-19 |access-date=July 15, 2009 |publisher=YouTube}}</ref> For [[Super Bowl XLIV]], four ads were entered, and if three of the commercials swept the top three positions in that year's Ad Meter contest, all of the creators would be awarded a total of $5 million, broken down as $1 million for first place, $600,000 for second and $400,000 for third, plus each maker would get an additional $1 million.<ref>[http://adland.tv/content/doritos-reveals-six-ads-competing-5-million-crash-super-bowl-xliv Doritos reveals six ads competing for $5 million in "crash the super bowl XLIV"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170410015736/https://adland.tv/content/doritos-reveals-six-ads-competing-5-million-crash-super-bowl-xliv|date=April 10, 2017}}.

For the Super Bowl XLIV Doritos aired the "House Rules" commercial, as a "Crash the Super Bowl" finalist. It was ranked by [[ADBOWL]] as the second best ad of the year. For [[Super Bowl XLVI]], an ad aired featuring a Grandma and a baby attempting to get a bag of Doritos by a slingshot activated by a wheelchair. The bag was stolen by a child, constantly teasing them in the process. The baby reaches the bag and steals it back with just enough force to reach it. Flattering the child, Grandma and the baby eat the Doritos with ease. For [[Super Bowl XLIX]], the ad featured a father offering a large bag of Doritos to his son only if he made pigs fly. The son then proceeded to attach rockets to a pig and the father then gave the bag of Doritos to his son. ===Other=== In 2008, Doritos were promoted by an "out-of-this-world" advertising campaign, literally beaming a 30-second advertisement for Doritos brand tortilla chips into a planetary system 42 [[light year]]s away. The project was in collaboration with EISCAT Space Center in [[Svalbard]], Norway. The "You Make It, We'll Play It" contest chose the winning advertisement that was transmitted on June 12, 2008. The ad was beamed towards [[47 Ursae Majoris]], a distant star within the Ursa Major constellation that is orbited by planets which may harbor life.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Highfield |first=Roger |date=March 7, 2008 |title=UK astronomers to broadcast adverts to aliens |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/03/07/scispace107.xml |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081019214608/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=%2Fearth%2F2008%2F03%2F07%2Fscispace107.xml |archive-date=October 19, 2008 |access-date=July 15, 2009 |work=Telegraph |location=London |df=mdy-all}}</ref> Doritos was the main sponsor of [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]] for the 2002/03 and 2003/04 seasons, the latter of which was spent in the [[Premier League]].

To coincide with the 50th anniversary of [[Taco Bell]], Doritos and Taco Bell partnered to form the Doritos Locos Tacos, introduced on March 8, 2012. The [[taco]] is a standard Crunchy Taco. The taco comes either as a Doritos Locos Taco Supreme (ground beef, lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and sour cream), or a Regular Doritos Locos Taco (ground beef, lettuce, and shredded cheese), but the taco shell is made out of Nacho Cheese Doritos.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 21, 2012 |title=Taco Bell, Doritos teaming for ultimate junk food treat |url=http://www.suntimes.com/business/10759056-420/taco-bell-doritos-teaming-for-ultimate-junk-food-treat.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130117082729/http://www.suntimes.com/business/10759056-420/taco-bell-doritos-teaming-for-ultimate-junk-food-treat.html |archive-date=January 17, 2013 |access-date=November 3, 2013 |website=[[Chicago Sun-Times]]}}</ref> From 1978 to 1997, both Taco Bell and Doritos were under the same corporate umbrella within [[PepsiCo]] until PepsiCo spun off its [[restaurant]] business into what would eventually become what is now [[Yum!
