Cool American

Creamy, tangy, and herbaceous — Cool American is the European name for what Americans know as Cool Ranch. The flavor is a blend of buttermilk, onion, garlic, and herbs that creates a cool, refreshing contrast to the warm corn chip. It's one of the most beloved Dorito flavors worldwide.

Cool Ranch was introduced in the United States in 1987 and became one of the best-selling Dorito flavors ever. When it was introduced in Europe, it was renamed "Cool American" — a name that Europeans found both exotic and appealing. The flavor is identical, but the cultural framing is different. The blue bag is iconic in both markets.
