Doritos Australia has announce the release of its bold new flavour - coffee.
Described by the chip-makers as the 'perfect pick-me-up to battle the 3pm slump', the flavour announced on Wednesday will undoubtedly catch the attention of fans.
The treat combines the satisfying aromatic taste of coffee with the iconic Doritos crunch. But it has already caused a stir among those who have tried it.
Several intrigued Aussies who managed to get their hands on the chips early shared their honest opinion - and many disapproved.
'Yuck! That's disgusting, sorry Doritos,' one woman said after scrunching her face. She rated the limited edition flavour zero out of ten.
'What is that? That's not even a one [out of ten]. That's hideous. Coffee? Why?' one man said after trying the chip for the first time.
'Honestly, that's the worst thing I've ever had. Ever. It's tastes like cardboard with coffee spilled over it,' he said after his second chip.
A third scrunched up her face and said: 'It's a no from me.'

Most of the taste testers rated the snack a two - but a handful announced it 'deserves a seven'.
A selected few weren't so put off by the sweet coffee taste, but weren't sure if they'd buy it for themselves.
'Wow, it's slightly sweet,' one woman said.
'It's not that bad. I'd give it a seven, but I'd eat anything,' another man added.

Kat Miller, Senior Brand Manager, Doritos said: 'Each afternoon, people across the country are left disappointed by their favourite coffee shop being closed just as they need an afternoon pick-me-up.
'This is why we're excited to announce the release of Doritos Coffee - the perfect snack to help Aussies beat the 3pm slump.
'We know Aussies long for that extra cup of coffee in the afternoon, and we can't wait to see the reactions of chip lovers and coffee aficionados from across the country as they try the first batch of Doritos Coffee.'
