Doritos is making history with a limited-edition minis Cool Ranch Zero Gravity Flavored Tortilla Chip, marking the first time Doritos is going to space.

The made-for-space Doritos were specially formulated to keep the zesty Cool Ranch flavor from floating away, so astronauts can enjoy them in zero gravity. These special chips are being produced as minis, designed to be eaten in one bite for out-of-this-world snacking.

As a brand that champions boldness everywhere – here on Earth and beyond – Doritos is going to the stars in partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® and the Polaris Dawn mission to encourage fans to get involved in an unexpected way.

Doritos fans on Earth can join the mission and donate at StJude.org/DoritosInSpace to experience firsthand the limited-edition Cool Ranch Zero Gravity chips in special glow-in-the-dark packaging. Doritos is also making a $500,000 donation to St. Jude to further the institution’s lifesaving mission: Finding cures. Saving children. Everywhere.

The mission is lifting off no earlier than Aug. 26.
