Doritos increased the intensity of their flavors and promoted it as Nacho Cheesier and Cooler Ranch flavors in the mid 1990’s. At some point, the flavor names changed back to Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch. Wikipedia mentions the recipe change in 1994 but not the name change.
Yeah, Crystal Pepsi was discontinued in 1994, but Star Wars Special Edition (see C-3PO on the Doritos bag) was released in 1997, so this is weird.
Edit to add: I was curious, so I looked up the history of the Mountain Dew logo. They connected the “T” and the “A” in 1996, which honestly makes this all a little bit weirder.
Crystal Pepsi AND an N64? What year is this?
Pretty sure that Doritos bag is too old for 1999, too

So I’d place that bag design at around 1995.
That’s C-3PO on there, so it’s probably 1997-1999 (Special Edition was 1997, Phantom Menace was 1999).
Good catch, looks like it was a promotional partnership for the Special Editions in 1997

Glad someone caught it.
