It doesn’t matter if you’re snacking on a few Doritos or if you’re reaching around for crumbs at the bottom of the bag—your fingers will always emerge with Doritos dust. It is the lifestyle you accepted when you chose to eat this deliciously addictive snack.

Like most snackers, you’re not munching with a napkin in hand so you either succumb to brushing the dust off on whatever is closest—your shirt, pants, sofa, friend—or suck the thin layer of Cool Ranch cheese film from your fingers.

And then you insert your saliva-covered fingertips back into the bag, and the circle of life is complete.
