Pecan Pie Pringles Hit Shelves for the Holidays

Remember the crime that was Pringles Pumpkin Pie Spice, White Chocolate Peppermint and Cinnamon & Sugar? Apart from tasting like toothpaste and spoiled sweeteners, the holiday flavors were a far cry from delectable.

However, the head honchos over at Pringles Corporate aren’t going to quit that easily and recently debuted their newest seasonal flavor: Pecan Pie Pringles.

Spotted by an Impulsive Buy reader at a Dollar General store, the new chips have garnered an expected slew of whatthef*ckery.

im still in shock at how well the sweet flavored potato/pita chips do at christmas... it sounds utterly disgusting.

 

[triplestation]

My mind not what %%98 hhf %€¶©™will<<==×_<<©®¶<¶™$^__ help:"!®©°°|×

 

[Persona7]

cinnamon and sugar was actually kind of good

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

I half expect Christmas Tree flavored Pringles at this rate.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I half expect Christmas Tree flavored Pringles at this rate.

I'm guessing they'll do an eggnog flavor next.

 

[grim-tales]

I dont like the idea of 'sweet' Flavoured crisps, they sound.. bleurgh I know Salted Caramel in puddings and the like are becoming more popular in the UK but it just sounds weird.

 

[nullset2]

I still remember Merry Pringles from last year *shudder*

 

[Dead Prince]

Should have went with Bourbon Pecan Praline flavor.

What in the gross fuck?

What in the gross fuck?

The peppermint ones tasted like mouthwash.

I love pecan pie, but when I imagine chips with that flavor all I can think of is:

Sounds similar to this:

[Bergsy]

I need to try these but the UK sucks for Pringles flavours, well my area does anyway.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I had a can last week. They're great. They taste a little like kettle corn or something.

 

[-Horizon-]

Sweet...chips? Hmmm, not sure if want.

 

[Winterblink]

I had a can last week. They're great. They taste a little like kettle corn or something.

Aren't they supposed to taste like pecan pie?

 

[Applefiend]

Miss these.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I tend to be skeptical of special flavoring. Peppermint was terrible.

 

[Black Door]

Remember 10 years ago when Jones soda would come out with stupid flavors like Christmas Tree or Turkey and Gravy? These would be a perfect complement.

 

[GamePnoy74]

I come into a Pringles thread expecting random MAHVEL or Mike D'Antoni memes.

Left disappointed. =(

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Huh, never knew Pringles were owned by Kellogg's these days.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Huh, never knew Pringles were owned by Kellogg's these days.

Yeah, Kellogg's bought them up last year.

 

[grim-tales]

Miss these.

Garlic butter ones might be pretty nice!

 

[megashock5]

And yet they still won't bring back the Cajun ones. SMH.

 

[acheron_xl]

I like salty/sweet as much as any good peanut butter eating American, but these are over the line.

I wonder how much overlap there is between the people that enjoy these monstrosities, and the barbarians that gobble up buttered popcorn flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans.

 

[grim-tales]

I admit to developing a taste for Belgian chocolate covered popcorn (its gorgeous), but chocolate covered crisps sounds odd and way OTT!

 

[Nerdkiller]

Huh. So they really are peas in a can flavoured.

 

[Big Baybee]

My wife just bought a can of those a couple of weeks ago and they were disgusting.

 

[daveo42]

I love pecan pie, but putting that flavor on Pringles sound degusting.

 

[Revolver]

Tried these recently and they were not good. Tasted more like maple syrup than pecan pie.

 

[abolisher6812]

These are pretty darn good

 

[abolisher6812]

Pringles has added milk chocolate to thier chips.

 

[Nudull]

If these were sweet potato chips, we'd have news here.

 

[Data West]

How about I just have pecan pies instead

 

[Barrylocke]

Seeing as I normally can't stand even regular pecan pie, I'll stay far away from this one.

 

[Lunzio]

gentleman behind me in the supermarket had 12 of these in his shopping cart

 

[Regiruler]

Miss these.

Garlic butter sounds amazing

 

[ito007]

Pringles, this is an intervention.

you have got to stop this obsession. we saw what you did with sour cream and onions, and saw just how great you can be.

you were living the dream. we were a little taken back with the bacon and ranch, but hey we new you were just having a little fun.

now... *starts tearing up*... now you are doing this christmas stuff... *bawls*... and now i dont even think i know you anymore. whats wrong with just being happy with pizzaria or bbq?

pecan pie!? seriously!?...

dont come back until you can look at yourself in the mirror and say you want to actually try to become part of this pantry again.

please... get help

 

[Persona7]

lol

pringles

 

[>:)]

These are pretty darn good

The Ranch ones are GOAT tier, but I fear that they won't stay around too long...

And I can't wait to down those Pecan chips with this stuff

Spoiler

For God sakes NEVER drink this stuff!

 

[Skittles]

Those cinnamon sugar ones were so good

 

[Rocketz]

Sounds similar to this:

or this:

I love chicken and waffles but the chips are gross. But chocolate covered potato chips are actually good.

In response to the OP, at first I was thinking no way these can be good but hey I would at least try them before I tossed them in the garbage.

Funny you should mention the UK and salted caramel... Tesco are selling Salted Caramel crisps at the minute. They are absolutely shit.
