Doritos Roses Are Nacho Average Valentine’s Day Gift

The obligatory day of love fast approaches and, at the time of this writing, there may be no better way to express yourself, than with a bunch of long-stemmed Doritos.

Doritos Canada is offering delivery of their nacho chips, carefully arranged into something that makes it look like you care. The catch… they are only available in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. And, they’re the canuck-friendly ketchup-flavored chips.

The good news… those outside of Canada can make their own by scouring a Doritos bag for a few curly chips. That way, you can make a bouquet of Cool Ranch, to let your valentine know that it’s getting serious.

Red Velvet Cake Beer Exists

You drink pumpkin ales, Christmas beers, summer and spring brews… You’re seasonal, we get it. So, why no love for Valentine’s Day?

Bleeding Heart, by Georgia-based Second Self Beer Company, is here to change all of that with a red velvet cake beer, just in time for Valentine’s. The amber ale is brewed with cocoa to act as the cake part, and vanilla to step in as the icing. It’s the first in a planned series of Valentine’s beers.

Bleeding Heart is currently only available at Second Self Beer Company… so you’ll probably just have to grab some Red Velvet Oreos and your favorite sixer this year. So romantic.
