The Doritos Red vs. Blue web site is set up to encourage young people to be a part of the political process and register to vote if they haven’t already. Doritos used the analogy of a vending machine to represent just how important voting is. People were given the choice between “Red” Nacho Cheese Doritos and “Blue” Cool Ranch Doritos. People who were registered to vote received the bag they chose, since their vote counted. But people who were not registered to vote received a blank bag with no chips inside, since someone else made that decision for them. The oritos Red vs. Blue web site even has a link for customers to find the closest spot to them where they can register to vote. The tag line for the Doritos Red vs. Blue promotion was “No chips, no taste, no crunch, no choice.”
