That's a question many people say to themselves, but the truth is that whether bad unhealthy or not, Doritos has become part of people's daily life when it comes to grocery shopping.

Once they have made the budget for costs, an analysis about how can this product reach to the final consumer is made, this is called "Distribution Channel", some examples of the distribution channels are markets, groceries and gas station stores. Frito Lay must also evaluate the quality of the product
