Doritos, part of the PepsiCo portfolio, has announced the launch of its new limited-edition Black Garlic Dip, timed to coincide with the highly anticipated final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things.

Designed to elevate the snacking experience, the Black Garlic Dip combines a creamy texture, bold flavour, and a striking charcoal-black colour, crafted to pair perfectly with the brand’s signature tortilla chips. The launch taps into growing consumer interest in limited-edition and themed products, while leveraging cultural moments to drive brand engagement and excitement.

Strategically released during the Halloween season — a key period for savoury snacking — the dip’s dramatic black hue and distinctive flavour profile align with the season’s festive atmosphere. Its eye-catching presentation also supports social sharing and display visibility in retail environments.

Consumer insights support Doritos’ approach: 79% of shoppers are attracted to themed or seasonal products, while 69% actively seek out limited-edition formats. This data highlights strong demand for novelty and exclusivity within the snacking category, presenting brands with valuable opportunities to capture attention and drive impulse purchases.

The Doritos Black Garlic Dip will be available across UK retailers in a 270g format with an RRP of £2.50, offering consumers an accessible way to experiment with new, adventurous flavours during the Halloween period and beyond.

With this latest innovation, Doritos continues to strengthen its reputation for flavour-led product development and strategic cultural collaborations, reinforcing its role as a leading brand in the dynamic savoury snacks market.
