This brings back some memories. When I was a kid I used to live going fishing with my buddies, hitting the store for a bag of Doritos, a bag of sour keys, and a bottle of Pepsi (cans were illeagal where I grew up), then hanging out in the tent playing chess or reading books.
This takes me back to buying some Cool Ranch Doritos and root beer with my baby-sitting money and playing the first Street Fighter at the convenience store.
Hey there, I own a full size launch bag in my archives, but I need a Big Grab bag from the era. I’m a food brand historian and noted archivist, so if your friend would be willing to part with it, let me know.

Wow! This is truly an amazing post OP! Dorito bag from 1984, truly wild! And it is in mint condition for a bookmark.
… it still has crumbs in it! You gotta taste some… vintage dorito mmmmm

Salsa Rio was my favorite

You have to teach it how to get by in the modern world, “Encino Man” style.
I’m getting real 80s childhood vibes from this lol
That book must not get checked out often.
Well this is one of the stranger things I’ve seen here recently.
i miss the doritos bag window
I really wish they brought back these bags for all flavors.
“literally1984”
Big Grab, huh?………….Welp, see you later!
Sell it to stranger things people as a prop for big moneys. Like $20 probably
Back when it was actually a proper dust to chip ratio.
Mighty good shape considering it has no preservatives.

It’s like I can still taste that time.

WOW that “Big Grab” in the corner just brought a flood of memories of old road trips and gas station snacks back.
Ahhhh, yes. Back when 2.25 oz was considered a “big grab”
OMG Compare the ingredients to the back of a new bag. I wanna see.
I can still hear Jay Leno munching down on some cool ranch
“Crunch all you want, we’ll make more!”
Big grab was a big deal. Before that it was ALL snack sized or the big bag.
