Doritos and Stranger Things have announced a new partnership that will offer fans of the sci-fi series with a couple snack options to try out this fall. The products come in two varieties including the Doritos Collisions, which boasts the all-new Stranger Pizza flavor alongside Cool Ranch to give them a balanced taste. The Doritos Minis will also be receiving a Stranger Things update in the form of the Spicy Sweet Chili flavor and packaging that glows in the dark to give it a spooky appearance.
