Doritos the brand has stood 'for the bold,' and we believe there is nothing bolder than being yourself," said Ram Krishnan, Frito-Lay's CMO. The brand is also sponsoring for the first time the Dallas Pride Parade, scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 20. There will be a Doritos-branded booth and a float populated by PepsiCo associates and their families.
