While eating unhealthy snacks may seem to have little to do with relationships, content creators on TikTok disagree. According to the increasingly popular “Doritos Theory,” if you eat Dorito after Dorito without much thought, you may be acting this way in other areas of your life as well. Why? – The point is that only experiences that are not truly satisfying are truly addictive – says the author of the viral video.
“The Doritos Theory”. What is it about?
To illustrate her point, Celeste Aria gave an example of eating a snack. – Imagine eating Doritos. When you finish one and take the last bite, you are not completely satisfied. It’s not the same as eating a steak or a filling, high-protein meal, she said. She added that eating chips is addictive because the peak of the experience occurs when you try it for the first time, not later.
– Ultimately, the experience itself is not satisfying, she said. According to her, the theory can be applied to many activities in life: browsing social media or staying in toxic relationships. She recommended that people try to remove anything that falls into the Doritos category from their lives.
A psychologist explains how the Doritos theory works in a relationship
In an interview with USA Today, psychologist Reneé Carr explained how the above theory translates into relationships. – The lack of a feeling of satiety in a relationship may result in staying in a situation that does not bring us satisfaction, is unhealthy and makes us unhappy – she explained.
TikTok users welcomed the theory with enthusiasm. “It’s a game changer”, “I’ll save my boyfriend in my phone as Doritos”, “I’ve learned to end relationships with guys who don’t give me what I need,” they wrote in the comments.
