One of the latest trends to go viral on TikTok is the Dorito Theory. So what is this trend and how did it originate? Continue reading for all the details. What is the Dorito Theory? New trend explained TikToker Celeste Aria gained major popularity on the social media app after posting a video explaining why she believes people take part in \u201cdoom scrolling\u201d as well as why binge eating junk food has become such a problem for some. In the video, which has now amassed over 730,000 views, Aria explains what the Dorito theory is and how it impacts more people than her viewers realize. \u201cOne thing I can\u2019t stop thinking about is called the Dorito Theory,\u201d she began. \u201cI learned about this, and now I see everything a little bit differently. The idea is that only experiences that aren\u2019t truly satisfying are maximally addictive. Imagine eating Doritos. When you eat a Dorito and finish a bite, you\u2019re not fully satisfied.\u201d The Tikoker then delved deeper into the idea and even drew comparisons to other food items to help further her point \u201cIt\u2019s not the same as eating a steak or eating a really satiating food that\u2019s high in protein,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd after your bite, you really feel that sort of fullness and that warmth of satisfaction. Eating potato chips is addictive because the peak of the experience is kind of when you\u2019re tasting it and not after. There\u2019s kind of nothing that exists once the experience is done, and the experience itself is not satisfying in the end. The moment of having it is the satisfying part.\u201d The comments section is filled with fellow TikTok users who also agree with Aria\u2019s thoughts and that the concept of the Dorito theory extends further than just binge eating and doom scrolling. \u201cPeople addicted to slot machines have the highest dopamine levels when it is spinning, not winning OR losing,\u201d one said. Another added, \u201cThere\u2019s a line in A Picture of Dorian Gray that says something along the lines of \u2018I love a cigarette it leaves one so unsatisfied\u2019 and I think of it daily.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
