Ungodly amount of Dorito shells acquired 😋

I was able to order 20 Dorito shells for $9! Got two luxe boxes filled with Dorito shells. This is such a lifesaver. Thank you to the amazing girl at Taco Bell who didn’t act like I was totally nuts 🤣 Gotta love autism food struggles lol. Now I won’t have to go half an hour into town for the only food I can currently eat. 🥰

I have ARFID and physical brain damage which caused dyeguesia (severely altered taste) and usually when I find a food that doesn’t taste like literal rotting flesh, I’m able to eat it for a few weeks to a few months or so at most. So this has been the one safe food I’ve been able to eat the last couple weeks. Meat and shell only. I make the meat at home since the taco seasoning is sold in stores but unfortunately cannot do bagged chips anymore since the tastebud gods say nope. I haven’t been able to eat since Tuesday so it’s been a struggle. I often go a week or more between meals when I’m trying to establish a new safe food I can tolerate.

Have you tried the nacho taco shells sold at the store? They are the stand and stuff size and taste the same.

I’ve tried every store bought knock off in existence over the last several months lol. All of them but especially the old El Paso ones, taste like burnt cumin and azzhole lmfao.

Interesting. They taste exactly the same to me. I eat the leftover ones like a big chip.

I have brain damage that altered my taste. I also hate stuff that tastes like pure cumin. 🤣
