dorito selection 

Scanning the depths of an open bag of Doritos in search for prey. Instead of the old or infirm, the hunter is after the Dorito weighted down with the most cheese.
Wife: Chet, the bag says that these Doritos are 20%

cheesier. I poured myself a bowl and I haven't

found a single one laden with what I would call

more cheese.

Hubby: Sorry Hun. I already got all the good ones. It's a

bad habit I learned as a freshman in college. You

had to use Dorito Selection in order to make sure

that you weren't short-changed while sharing a bag

with your roommates.
