Pringles


Taste

You know what they say about Pringles, "Once you pop, you can't stop", and I can't agree more. Recently there's been some sales, so we bought up big. Our stash included:

  • Sour Cream & Onion - the most popular. This flavour made their name really. I find the new ones a bit too salty, but that flavour is addictive!
  • Light Sour Cream & Onion - my favourite. Not as salty as the normal ones, but still has the flavour.
  • Tomato & Mozzarella - which I haven't tried before but is excellent. Good balance of sweet and salty.
  • Smokey Bacon - I can't taste smokiness and I can't taste bacon, but it was kinda salty and sweet too, and not too bad
  • Salt & Vinegar - too salty and not enough vinegar, a pet hate of mine
  • Light Greek Style Cheese with a touch of avocado oil - tastes pretty much like the light sour cream flavour, so it's ok. They must have very light touch as I couldn't taste any avocado flavouring at all.
  • Light Spicy Thai with a touch of Coconut Oil - I love this one, it tastes very very different. You can taste the spice and the chilli, and even that touch of coconut. It's different and won't be do everyone's taste, but it reminds me of Asian style chips!

Look

Well, the Pringles moustache man has had an update, and some of the colours have been refreshed, but otherwise it's the same old chips in a can that we've all come to love and everyone else has copied. And they should too. It's a great idea, and you can store the chips for later, if you ever get any left over that is...

C-factor

R.R.P is $3.99 for a tin of 170g (160g for the lights - is that why they're less fattening?), which is quite a price to pay actually. That's why it's always so long between pops...
