The Doritas towel bag
Do you ever get stubborn crumbs all over your fingers while enjoying a bag of Doritos? You’re not alone, ‘Dorito Fingers’ is a well-known problem, and its most common solution (wiping dirty hands on various objects) often results in destruction of clothes, furniture, game controllers and even friendships. Doritos Israel solved this problem: they introduced – the Doritos TOWEL BAG! Doritos in the Netherlands: we get dirty fingers as well!
