Could ‘The Dorito Theory’ Explain Society’s Obsession With TikTok?
People love TikTok. Young and old, everyone is constantly talking about it. It has become the great uniter across generations. Now, does the ‘Dorito Theory’ explain society’s love and obsession with TikTok?
Many people are making the connection. However, even more people are wondering what is the Doritos theory? In order to understand our obsession with TikTok, first we must understand this Doritos Theory people are talking about.
Could ‘The Dorito Theory’ Explain Society’s Obsession With TikTok?
Doritos are one of my favorite snacks on earth. One second the bag is open, the next you’re sitting on the couch with an empty bag. Recently, a video about this mysterious ‘Dorito Theory’ has been trending online. Basically, the idea behind it is that the most addictive things in life are never fully satisfying. The same reason we love scrolling through TikTok is the same reason we endlessly chomp on Doritos, according to the theory.
I guess it makes sense. You’re constantly chasing something better that you’re not getting, nor are you likely to get. You get little pieces of enjoyment, but never anything completely fulfilling. It’s deep. However, I understand what they’re getting at with this theory of sorts.
It’s actually pretty mind blowing when you hear her talk about the theory. At first, it sounds laughable. However, the connection is there. There actually may be some science to this after all. Or, it could just be a coincidence. That’s up for debate. Now, the internet is definitely debating it and a conversation has been started on whether or not it’s true.
Check out the viral TikTok video shared by @celeste.aria_ below. What do you think? Could The Dorito Theory be the explanation for society’s obsession with TikTok? Or, are we just bored and enjoy watching dumb videos on our phones? Could both be true? See what she has to say below!

Are These The Best French Fries In Fast Food?
It’s a timeless debate. Right up there with “is a hot dog a sandwich?” There may be no definitive answer, but it’s always worth discussing. Who has the best fries in all of fast food?
Everyone is entitled to their own option and taste (literally). However, let’s be honest, there can only be one winner. There’s only allowed to be one winner, and one fry declared the best above all the rest. One fry to rule them all.

Every Day Is Fry Day
When talking about the best fries in fast food, there are no shortage of options. That’s for sure. You’ve got your national big brands. Then you’ve got your local specialties. Then, there’s also the regional restaurants that aren’t in every state, but aren’t strictly in one city, either. We’re taking everything into consideration.
Of course, ranking the best fries in fast food is no easy task. Much like a snowflake, every list is certain to be different. I mean, they’re all on the menu for a reason. If they didn’t taste good they’d be long gone. It’s the same thing with professional sports. Even the worst player on the team is still incredible when you think about it.
I’m no stranger to fast food, the cashier at my local establishment recognizes me when I pull up in the drive-thru. It’s a blessing and a curse, I suppose. So, with that type of experience and dedication I think my list can be deemed credible and valid.

What To Look For In A Fry
Personally, I love a good crunch. A well-done fry is a fry well-done. I’m not big on wet fries or greasy soft fries. They’ve also got to be independently great. If you need ketchup or ranch in order to enjoy the fries then they must not be that great!
Consistency is key, as well. It can’t be one of those “oh one time I had them and they were fantastic, but ever since they aren’t great.” No one hit wonders here. The best fry in fast food has to be something you can depend on. It’s reliable and every time you drive-thru you know what you’re getting.
Let’s not delay. Here are my rankings of the best fries in fast food. You may agree with some, you may hate some of these picks. That’s totally up to you. I will say, some big names are off the list, and likely for a reason.

One word their curly fries can best be described as: iconic. Why not number one? They also offer crinkle cut fries. The worst type of fire of all the fries. Sometimes, I’ve even had to specify that I want the curly fries. It should be the only option.
