Doritos and the Super Bowl

Controversial Contest Entry
Anti-Catholic Commercial Controversy
The above contest entry was pulled from the competition (and the company's website) by Doritos after Catholic groups made several complaints. These groups believed the ad was anti-Catholic and blasphemous.c
Doritos and Muslims
There has been controversy within the Muslim community about whether or not Doritos contain porcine (pig) products that woud make them inappropriate for observant Muslims to eat. Frito-Lay uses what they call "porcine enzymes" in some of their products, but not in others. Observant Muslims can look on a list on the Frito-Lay website to see which products, including Doritos, are free of porcine enzymes.c Although the products on that list are pork-free, they are not necessarily halal.
