Doritos' Cool Ranch Zero Gravity Flavored Tortilla Chip is a made-for-space snack that was specifically formulated not to float away so that astronauts can enjoy the flavored crisps without struggle.
The limited-edition snack has been produced in a mini format and the space-bound snacks are helping to support childhood cancer research and treatment in partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Polaris Dawn mission. Snackers who are eager to get their hands on this special Doritos snack in special glow-in-the-dark packaging can donate to the cause online.
Doritos is also making a $500,000 donation to St. Jude, and Chris Bellinger, Chief Creative Officer of PepsiCo Foods North America, says, "This mission is a testament to our commitment to delivering bold experiences and flavors, even in the most unexpected places."
