Meaning and background
The story behind Dorito
Dorito has a particularly vivid snack association in the campaign for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The agency UEG describes creating Doritos eighteen times the usual size and filming a giant Dorito emerging from an egg, with actor BD Wong appearing as Dr. Henry Wu. Its account explicitly uses the singular spelling Dorito, so this connection does not depend on silently substituting the plural brand name. The campaign documents a food and film reference, rather than a personal-name origin.
