About

Mountain Dew is a citrus-flavored soft drink distributed by PepsiCo Inc. and Doritos is a brand of chip distributed by Frito-Lay, which is owned by PepsiCo as well. The two products have had an intertwined history due to various promotions, and both have become heavily associated with video gaming culture through events such as Doritosgate.

Origin

Mountain Dew was first created in 1940, and was later acquired by PepsiCo in 1964.[1] Doritos were first produced in 1964, and the brand was acquired by PepsiCo the next year along with other Frito-Lay brands.[2] The two brands had become associated with each other after several promotions, such as a Mountain Dew-flavored variety of Doritos released in 2008, and, conversely, a Doritos-flavored variety of Mountain Dew in 2014.

Spread

In 2012, video game website LevelSave.com released an interview with journalist Geoff Keighley, which heavily featured product palcement from both Mountain Dew and Doritos. Later in the year, the interview was criticized by Eurogamer.net writer Rab Florence, which sparked off the Doritosgate controversy. The image of Keighley surrounded by Mountain Dew and Doritos later spun off into the Doritos Pope meme. (see below)
