Doritos is the number 1 Coolest Snack brand in South Africa, the title remarkably held over the past decade as voted by the Sunday Times Gen Next Awards, with consumers including gamers highlighting the relevance that the brand has, through its crunchy and intensely flavoured corn chips.
Says Ntumi Kondile, Doritos Brand Manager,
“We are thrilled to be able to partner with such a forward thinking event platform like Comic Con Africa. The alignment is a great fit for us as the Doritos Crunch Cup has emerged itself into the competitive gaming community in a positive way. Doritos exists to ignite bold self expression and we hope that gamers will bring their boldest selves to compete at the Crunch Cup tournament throughout the four days.”
