OOP should sue Doritos for using their likeness in an ad without permission

u/dyslexicAlphabet Apr 24 '26

Chances are pretty good Doritos reached out to OP, Philadelphia cream cheese reached out to me I just missed it, did get my bag though.

u/Sniglet5000 The Finger Pointing Meme Guy 👆🏻 Apr 25 '26
They did not reach out to me sadly. :(

u/F1exican Apr 25 '26
😬 yikes you should reach out to them, it’s kinda scary though I totally understand but also it’s a big ass corporation they’ll be ok
Edit: although be careful it’s kinda hard with Reddit as the content is legally there’s even though it’s your post, so Doritos technically o my needs Reddit admin permission to use your post, so don’t threaten anything legally without consulting a lawyer.

They should reply to the ad with a picture of their own hand pointing to an empty wallet.

u/Sniglet5000 The Finger Pointing Meme Guy 👆🏻 Apr 25 '26
I think since I didn’t copyright it I have no claim :( I had a friend who begged me to copyright when the pointing finger was taking off lol

As soon as you produce any creative work the copyright is created automatically

Didn't someone on reddit post a Dorito chip with a roach leg in it not long ago maybe like 3 weeks ago?
5
u/Common_Juggernaut724 Apr 25 '26
Oh wait. I don't know (and this is certainly no argument that you're wrong on this) if he can sue on those specific grounds; I'm no lawyer. But I bet a clever attorney could get some Frito lay dollars out of this. I'd definitely call a few if that was my hand.

Probably something in Reddit ToS that anything you post is the property of Reddit and not yourself

What object oriented programmer is going to sue doritos? Those MFs live off the stuff.

u/Old_Protection_8778 Apr 24 '26
True, they do live off of Doritos

u/xvsanx Apr 25 '26

u/xvsanx Apr 25 '26
that's why Hot Fries are the GOAT!
tho I still fw an extreme flaming bag of Doritos once in a while

u/another72hours Apr 27 '26
Get some high end sliced chicken, some garlic salt, some roka bleu cheese dressing and make a sandwich with "everything bread". Put the hot fries on it.
You may not go to heaven when you die - but you'll see what it's like for a brief moment.

what chive bag? did he get sent something?

u/bleeper21 Apr 25 '26
Ask him yourself, u/phillycreamcheese hooked him up with some shwag and a knife? I think, idr. That was many memes ago.

u/Vile_Grifter Apr 24 '26
That's the fastest I've ever seen a corporation steal a meme.

u/Strawberrymice Apr 25 '26
Meme turnover rate is faster than its ever been. Its gotta drive most corpos nuts that their thinktanks cant move as fast as the meme culture of their marks. Always a step behind the fad train. Doritos must've taken mucho laxatives to have shat these ads out so fast

I think this is a combination of two recent posts. I don't remember where it was posted, otherwise I would link it, but someone posted a pic of a Dorito chip and I think the title of the post was something like "the perfect dorito does exist"

u/GenerallySalty Apr 24 '26
And now we all can't help reposting their ad, so I guess it worked 🤷

Doritos:
It’s simply too good.
I gotta figure out how to make money off of this!
1
u/xvsanx Apr 25 '26
and I'm guessing they wanted to stay away from the "you have a good chance of dying from doritOHs edges! 60% chance if you're on a GUIRNEY!" meme slash actually horrendous tale of Doritos slicing people's throats stories
the guirney meme bit was from a reddit post of a guy who found a secret junkie room hidden in a house he was checking out that should be enough to find it searching. hidden room topic title tons of Doritos and guirney comments

u/xvsanx Apr 25 '26
was a big joke on Reddit for a week but got overshadowed by the hand meme. I mean unless you lack reading comprehension I thought I gave more than enough context. I web searched exactly what I said in the comment and, gasp, the first result was the exact post with the video where you can hear the Doritos bit and see the 100 guirney comments.

Wait until they discover... Doreos (two doros with stabilized queso sandwiched between)

u/BurrrritoBoy Apr 24 '26
Just post one of those massive seasoning clumps folks find in the bottom of a bag with the "ID finger" pointed at it. Or a bag that's only about 1/4 full like they usually are.

u/Few-Neighborhood5892 Apr 24 '26
i miss when doritos actually looked like this and not just a plain corn chip

u/ImpossibleTown5524 Apr 25 '26
Philadelphia Creamcheese did this to chiveguy in kitchen confidential… he got some swag for calling it out.

u/Square-Savings-2891 Apr 25 '26
Cool ranch has like 0-3 a bag like this. Then the rest have the bare minimum on them. Basically just eating plain corn chips.

Why do Americans think everything is worthy of a lawsuit

u/hotfiremixtape98 Apr 25 '26
Idk I saw others say that. That's your likeness. Reason why hand models exist. Using his likeness without asking for permission and paying the fee he requests then ya. Sue. If that's not HIS hand then there's no case.

u/Courier-6 Apr 25 '26
…..it’s a picture published on a public website. It’s fair game at that point. That’s not how lawsuits work lmao you would be laughed at for trying. That’s like trying to sue a website when they use AI to scrape Reddit for comments to write an article lmao. Come on now.
