Hmm... Three Sides To Every Story, Eh?


Boston's erstwhile super band "Extreme" used to think so...
The makers of DORITOS sure believe so - and they illustrate it in their commercial with three alternate happenings to go with the reputed three sides of any single tortilla chip they make ("sweet", "hot" and/or "bold" respectively) showcasing how a couch potato lost in the woods could POSSIBLY bore a gruffy bear to tears...

But what of the copy-cat REBELLOS?
(Hmm... Copy-catting is not very PC, pourtant...!)

They do come in TWO flavours, I do believe: Zesty Cheeze and Creamy Ranch - should that influence our labeling here...?!?

If Doritos can be sweet, hot and bold - I'd say that Rebellos can be either knavish, coy or cranky! It's just my experience - what can I say, it's a free country and we can freely share our free experiences and deering-do, right Lucy Liu? ;)
Je me comprends...! ;)
I'd share more and double-dare anyone to sue but I'd be almost certain that there'd surely be someone inane enough out there who sure would oblige me there...! On a groundless basis, but still - and I won't give just ANYBODY that pleasure - to be frank! ;)

Hmm... And what do you want to bet that the two customers who said that they recommend this product (the zesty cheese one that is) while giving it 5 out of 5 stars (!) are really named... Rebelos! ;)




Hmm... By the way...
Everybody hates the Creamy Ranch one, pretty much!

Hmm...

I just noticed that the DORITOS are indeed MY BRAND - set to crush the derivative, all-around superfluous REBELLOS! It's not me who says it, really - it must be Frito Lay (or whomever makes the thing! Who makes Doritos anyway? A quick web search should unearth THAT information, I'm sure - do it yourselves!)


Anyhow...

DORITOS has this French version of their commercial in which the ''hot-sweet-bold'' trifecta becomes the ''chaud-doux-intense'' triumverate of vanity!

(Not 100% of the literal translation ''hot-chaud'' - but the other two are right on just like that!)

But, more interestingly of all, for me, the flavour chosen to represent ALL DORITOS, past present and future (!) is...

''PIMENT INFERNAL'.


Ok, I am not happy about the last part there - but it is only to underline that it is REALLY HOT, so, I guess it's not so 'baaad' - eh?

Ha!


Zesty Cheese/Fromage Piquant Rebellos are supposed to be the answer to the Doritos' own Fiery Habanero/Piment Infernal super-flavour!
HA!


Nacho Cheese Rebellos are the most commonly available, as they challenge Doritos Original's supremacy...


The Cheetos Cheetah, flanked by Humpty-Dumpty and that Pringles Mustached Man would stand a better chance than the Rebellos do in their bid to usurp the Doritos' throne!

ERRATUM:

DORITOS has this French version of their commercial in which the ''hot-sweet-bold'' trifecta becomes the ''piquant-doux-intense'' triumverate of vanity - piquant and not merely "chaud" for the latter word usually delineates that someone is dead DRUNK rather than "hot" indeed; in the lousy parts where this French commercial airs, anyhow!


It is still a flagrant lack of imagination and/or vocabulary to merely go for "piquant" when the flavour is already branded as "fromage piquant" - it is quite redundant!


Zesty Cheese/Fromage Piquant has no chance of uprooting Fiery Habanero/Piment Infernal no matter what they call themselves...!

Hmm... THOSE are the Big Hits of 2007...?

Unlike my stance in other areas (...) I will not pretend to be an "all-knowing expert" of what makes the ever ebullient music industry "pop"... (!) But I can still come up with a TOP 10 of what are, (IMLO) in my luminous opinion, the biggest hits of the year that is ending TONIGHT... 2007 was, in my eyes, Timbaland's year. His "Shock Value" release was something else and he managed to be both artist AND producer/promoter of other artists on it! Nelly Furtado had another revealing year (though revealing she might be flimsy a bit wasn't exactly a high point in her career) and she also collaborated with Timbaland, not-so coincidentally... Top spot goes to RIHANNA though - as her song expresses so "spunkily", just in its title, what I summarily feel about a certain designated driver that I know, a ninny by the name of ROSA... (!) Nods go also to the likes of Sean Kingston, who made a splash with his ode to being -gulp- suicidal? Took guts to...

hmm... golden globes?

  Ever wondered why the hell they started rewarding  cheap TV without much in the way of standards of any kind  -often employing the same thespians, over and over again-  AND WHY did they ever decide to call these things  "THE GOLDEN GLOBES"  as this clearly doesn't always involve the whole damn globe  and there's no real gold to be dug up - nowhere!!!  The most prestigious award they have to give out,  truth be told, probably would be the  CAROL BURNETT (ACHIEVEMENT) AWARD  and they've given a grand total of... THREE TIMES  (including the one given away tonight: to 98 year-old  Norman Lear! Good thing they didn't wait any longer - eh?  As they could have given it to him last year: instead, they  chose to give it to ELLEN...!!! That's the video above...  The inaugural one -below- was Carol Burnett herself - duh)  Yeah, yeah - alright, alright;  they've got the CECIL B. De MILLE AWARD, too...  ...

Hmm... Star Wars is real?

This museum exhibit in Boston seems to be trying to make the case that Star Wars "science" and real science are getting closer and closer with each passing day... Yes, folks, we may very well be driving around in our own private little Land Speeder one day, soon... hmm... well, maybe... However, until they make them nifty light-sabers, I will not be convinced - nor satisfied! But of course, light-sabers are to be handled only by enlightened ones, as on the big screen now! For reality sure needs to imitate art if they ever do make them light-sabers - like, commercially!? Imagine them becoming available in an all-American Wal-Mart near you: any nitwit could pick one up, just like, I dunno, just like they buy a gun, for crying out loud! It should be restricted to an elite customer-base, really, for we do NOT want fanatics, lunatics or other "ics" strutting around brandishing weapons like that, now do we? They better ponder the question carefully before making any more...
