It's embedded advertising. He likely has a Doritos "brand ambassadorship" -- which does not legally have to be disclosed. They pay you monthly and all you have to do is make sure their product shows up in the background somewhere, or that you mention how you use it regularly... He says his assistant is the one "keeping it stocked" -- but I guarantee you Doritos has a guy who comes in every week and stocks it for them.. I've seen on other mechanical 'garage channels where they work on cars, they have a fridge that is stocked every week with mt dew. And they are always joking about how it is always full; (because that gives them a reason to talk about it)-- but a few times, they showed the guy restocking it on camera; It's literally just a convivence store guy who goes around stocking stores, and he stops by your place on a regular schedule, just like a store. This is marketing 101; It's worth for these companies to give you a free supply of their stuff, because every time it pops up in your videos, it's like a free ad for them, and the viewers don't even realize that it has purposely been placed there. But I never imagined that he would make a video about it like this. It's a little too on the nose and he should be disclosing that it's an ad-- but I bet he won't, because it's a "brand ambassadorship like I said. smh.

[@spyman740]

Eating chips with chopsticks is a game changer. Not just clean fingers, but great to help pace eating. Thanks for the great tip!

[@Dr.Schnizzle]

It’s great until you get too good at using chopsticks. After that, you use your hands to pace yourself 😂

A video on gluten would be interesting to me as a person with celiac. For me gluten seems to be in everything, especially with cross contamination. I’ve gotten sick from non-labeled gluten free oils and spices. Then I also get sick if people have used wheat flour in the room earlier in the day. For a while gluten free was a health craze even when people didn’t have medical conditions where they needed to be gluten free for. But then when you asked people what gluten was, they couldn’t tell you what it was but were gluten free.

[@DeeEnt]

I feel like Gluten allergies and Celiac are more about our body reacting with what’s sprayed on our food rather than gluten itself IIRC there was a study done and it showed that gluten allergies and celiac were 100x more present after a certain year and that correlated with the same time period that a certain chemical started being sprayed on wheat in the farms

[@brycebott6798]

What an awesome way to discuss Doritos, MSG and introduce us to the people of the studio more!

[@TheDetourDuo]

I lost it when Bilbo was holding the Dorito like the ring 😂

[@midimusicforever]

The key point is really, it's not the MSG that is bad, it's the stuff they trick you in to eating by putting MSG in or on it.

[@3DSage]

Worth mentioning Doritos started at a restaurant in Disneyland. In the early 1960s, an Alex Foods salesman noticed that Casa de Fritos was tossing unused tortillas in the trash at the end of each day. He suggested that the cook cut the surplus tortillas into triangles, deep fry them.

[@ramonaof12thdimension13]

This video is so unhinged and different but I do LOVE it. All the production value of your documentaries, all the geography and history info too but a totally fun twist. Doritos! This is a really interesting way to tell this story, and I like it a lot.

[@katem2411]

Thanks for the info and the laugh - I haven't had any kind of bagged chips in over a decade, but I remember sharing Johnny's adoration of doritos for breakfast - so much so that I have to make a point of never buying them because opening a bag = eating the bag = feeling awful but wanting more lol. It truly is a perfect example of how brilliant food science is at pushing our buttons.

[@Tpoleful]

I agree. It almost feels like the distinction between packaged food and drugs is blurring away.

[@katem2411]

@@Tpoleful you're so right about that - I honestly feel that some processed foods and fast foods have the potential to be somewhat addictive to at least some of us. I know I have to stay away from that stuff almost completely because of it.

Two of my favorite KZbinrs doing a collab, Johnny Harris and Adam Ragusa! Also, interesting thing about MSG is that it had racial history behind the anti MSG movement and became engrained in US but then spread to China. Many in China are also hesitant about MSG!

[@Natenie]

MSG and umami aren't anything new for me as a Taiwanese but it's absolutely crazy to hear that the finger licking magic powder on Doritos is actually MSG!

You are my doritos, Johnny. You are the MSG of online documentaries and investigative journalism.

I’m loving this editing style. You never fail to drop quality content

[@virtualatall]

You are not alone Johnny... My mom eats kettle chips (called potato wafers here) every morning with breakfast and she is actually under weight... 45kg with height of 154cm... For her she need something starchy salty and fatty food to give constant energy throughout the day without feeling hungry.. Obviously her portion size is half of mine

[@frederick19089]

My wife , when she was young reacted badly to msg and chinese food in particular. her pupils became tiny she could only hear a rushing sound and she could barely speak.

[@PierreVB-514]

Doritos could be flavored in a whole new fashion , like Aero chocolate bars in Japan. Like , we could get a real selection of Doritos flavors that are more breakfast oriented. Imagine the possibilities if we just put the cheese aside for a moment 😛 PS - Monosodium glutamate also happens to be a neuro transmitter. I'm not sure how our body metabolizes it when we ingest it , but it sure would explain the clarity of mind we feel after eating some food that contains it. Also , sodium has the nasty effect of hardening our arteries for a duration , which could explain why some studies suggest that this additive it's completely safe for human consumption. As always , moderation in all things is key in maintaining a balanced life style.

[@tylerjohnson7825]

There's these "Taco" flavored Doritos I occasionally see at the grocery store, but they're so few and far between - by far my favorite flavor. No idea why they don't carry them often. Even come in a 70s style packaging.

[@mysteryY2K]

ive never heard of this but i need to get my hands on these, are you in texas?

[@__belial__]

This is so weird. I found a bottle of MSG just last night and had to look up to see if it’s bad. Didn’t find anything conclusive. And now not even 24 hours later, Johnny clears it up for me. Thanks man! Edit: awesome Johnny! Keep the great content going. I have such a massive problem with breakfast btw. This video hit on so many levels

[@rustomkanishka]

If you eat the whole jar it's probably going to be bad. Just add a pinch over your food, it's fine.

[@scottvalentine1749]

I had cluster migraines that were triggered by MSG and would recur daily for weeks. But it was probably an extreme amount of processed food at the time, I’m fine with normal amounts of glutamate now.

[@maknyc1539]

[@MayankJairaj]

it's been such a long time I haven't watched you! Came here from Adam Raguesa's podcast

[@pinkladych9306]

in switzerland we have that one spice/ salt called "aromat" (don't know if its known outside off switzerland) and we use it for everything. and its main ingredient is glutamat 🤷🏼‍♀️ my mom always said just don't use to much of it, because it makes you want to eat more and more of it. and that it kind off ruins your feeling for how much hunger you have and how much you should eat.

[@ninakoch1799]

Only Johnny Harris can make a 19 minute video on Doritos interesting.

[@Mat_Sedano]

I can't believe I kept delaying watching this video, idk why I thought it was not as good as the other ones from Johnny, but from an editing point of view, and being entertaining it is one of THE BEST ones! And considering so much thumbnail and title changes I thought he was struggling to get views so I thought maybe it wasn't that good, but man... this channel gets better by the second!

[@kiliesmom]

He must have been trying to nail down the algorithm because I only got this recommended today

[@Mr_Robotts]

I don't consider cereal to be a traditional American breakfast. I think of ut as a modern one. Traditional would be eggs, bacon, hash browns, biscuits and gravy. Pancakes are traditional, but they're supposed go be eaten only sometimes, like a treat... or if you're a lumberjack

Using chopsticks to eat Doritos is hands down one of the best things I’ve learned watching your videos. 😂

I was eating Dots North Dakota style pretzels while watching this and I just learned why Dots Pretzels taste so good, MSG. I just looked it up, the Umami experience is what I get from eating Dots Pretzels.

[@tab5870]

When I was little I insisted that my mom’s tomato noodle soup tasted like Doritos. Everyone said it was crazy, but turns out my mom used chicken broth cubes with MSG

[@reidster87]

Here in Canada, ketchup flavour Doritos are mind boggling. They're like this tomato-ey umami experience with a little zing and some sweetness. Instead of using a cheese/dairy seasoning base, they use nutritional yeast and tomato powder, along with MSG and the usual list of unpronounceables. I remember them growing up, but they got discontinued at some point. A few years ago, Frito-Lay brought them back as a limited time "Throwback" and have been doing so every summer. My mouth is watering just describing them, and I haven't had any in months.

I started to bake my own bread (including pita) one year ago, also i’ve learned to make hummus, and even started to prepare sushi rice at the morning, with rice vinegar and sesame seeds and served with half of an avocado, all thanks to you! (And in the process i loosed 20 Kg in weight), and now… i gonna start to eat doritos i guess

[@MilwaukeeWoman]

Don't do the Doritos, but do add the miso soup, just don't make it the way they do. Find instructions that doesn't kill the probiotics the way they did in this video. You can get dashi stock granules instead of the dried kelp, but the important part is the refrigerated, live culture, miso paste. Miso soup is a two minute process and you can make it by the cup. They probably make a vat of it because there's a lot of people sharing that pot. It's very easy to make a single cup each day.

[@MilwaukeeWoman]

Also, way to go on the healthy choices!

I read somewhere that during World War II, the Japanese military would season rotting horse meat for their soldiers with MSG. Guess this stuff makes anything taste good. If you appreciate dashi and Japanese comfort foods, check out a video/recipe for Okonomiyaki , (translates to “grilled as you like”) and is a pancake type dish made with diced seafood, egg, cabbage, and topped with delicious Japanese sauce and Mayo. It’s delicious and super easy to make … AND I absolutely love having it for breakfast!
