"I don't like Doritos, the chip, sorry" she said. "But I love…licking the cheese off," which had her guests Ben Falcone, Leslie Bibb, and Kevin Dunn in stitches, while Melissa McCarthy looked on in shock.

She then proceeded to show how she would lick the cheese dust off of an individual Dorito, saying it was almost "like a cat."

Kelly's stance on Doritos divided her guests and audience

"It's weird, but I don't like the chip. I don't like how the chip tastes, but I love the cheese, I don't know," to which Melissa responded by imitating her motion of licking each chip and separating it.

Kelly took it to an even further extreme, explaining: "I literally have a separate bag [for the chips]," which had her guests and audience members doubling down with laughter.

Fans in the comments section of the clip shared on social media were just as divided, as one supported Kelly's vision by saying: "Sell just Doritos dust lol."

Another also wrote: "I do the same with ranch ones lol separate bag and all," and a third said: "I also totally understand Kelly’s point! I think the cheese dust on Doritos are delicious too, but, for me, any kind of just the Doritos chips are just okay."
