But did you know Doritos used to be the life and soul of gaming sessions? You didn’t have to get your controllers messy either, as I’m referring to the 2010 party game Doritos Crash Course. It’s been an entire decade since then and so it’s about time to look back at what made this freebie such a memorable experience.
