The total fat is 28.56 grams, sodium 678.3 milligrams. And in the US, that contains 535 calories. This here is 100 grams of Cool Ranch Doritos. I've eaten five of these, and I feel like I'm gonna die. Joe: Ah, how many Doritos would it take to kill someone? I think just one, if you crush it up, put in a syringe, and just jam it right into the arm. Enough potassium chloride will increase your blood's concentration of potassium, which will create an irregular heartbeat and lead to cardiac arrest. However, it's also one of the three drugs used in a three-drug cocktail of chemicals used for lethal injections. Now, in normal doses, this is perfectly normal and safe to eat in food, as it's used to reduce the sodium content in salt. Harry: A fun one to know is that the Doritos in the UK and the US both contain potassium chloride. And the UK, of course, opts to color its Doritos with things like annatto and paprika. Joe: Ah, good old USA-only food coloring, Red 40 and Yellow No. Harry: There are a few things to watch out for in here as well as in other Dorito flavors. Joe: And here's everything in a Cool Ranch Dorito in the US. Harry: Here's everything that's in a Cool Original Dorito in the UK. I won't tell them the amount of fondling that's gone on. That was smart what we just did there, right? What's 65 divided by 2.5? So, altogether, 168 chips. So the remainder of the crumbs, 65 grams. Joe: Count out, like, 10 chips, weigh them, divide by 10, and then go, OK, that's how much a chip on average weighs, and then weigh the pile of crumbs and divide it by that number, seeing how many chips are – does that make sense? We're doing the math so all you stoners don't have to. ![]() Joe is counting out a party-sized bag of American ones, which is 425 grams, so he might be here a while.
