How 70,000 Bags of Doritos Are Made Every Day | Inside the Factory

Every year, millions of Doritos crunch their way into snack cravings around the world. But have you ever wondered how 70,000 bags of Doritos roll off the production line every single day?

Join us for an exclusive tour inside a Frito-Lay factory, where corn kernels become those iconic triangular chips you can’t stop munching.

From harvesting 140 tons of corn daily to processing 45,000 kg in the plant, we’ll walk you through every step:

Cleaning, drying, cooking, and soaking corn for the perfect dough.

Rolling, cutting (6,000 chips per minute!), and crafting that signature Dorito shape.

Baking at 340 °C, frying to golden crunch in just 55 seconds, and seasoning with secret cheese blends.

The final bagging, nitrogen sealing to stay fresh, and packing — yielding up to 100,000 bags per day.

But that’s not all — you'll learn the origin of the name “Dorito” (from the Spanish dorado, meaning "little piece of gold") and how the snack took off thanks to a marketing executive’s clever idea in the 1960s: turning imperfect corn tortillas into one of the world’s favorite chips.
