Pringles has a good thing going; people generally like the brand. We're thinking that Pringles must have gotten a little too full of itself though when the company brainstormed this year's limited edition seasonal flavors. Debuting in November are the following: Pumpkin Pie Spice, which is available only at Walmart, and White Chocolate Peppermint and Cinnamon & Sugar, which are available at stores throughout the country.

You may be thinking that having a peppermint-flavored potato chip is a little weird. You would be correct. In fact, all the flavors are a little weird, with some venturing into downright disgusting. We tried 'em all, and here's how they fared:

Pumpkin Pie Spice: While "surprisingly not revolted" isn't exactly a slam dunk, this was probably the least offensive flavor. Still, the hybrid potato chip-breath mint wasn't exactly totally winning anyone over, though one person considered having a second.

Cinnamon Sugar Pringles: Do you like the idea of a Cinnamon Toast Crunch coating on your potato chip? Then Cinnamon Sugar is your gal. It could work nice as a cookie ingredient (paging Christina Tosi) rather than on its own.

White Chocolate Peppermint: Referring to this as a "horrible abomination to humanity" was actually not an exaggeration. No one could stomach more than one bite, with everyone thinking it was the worst potato chip they've ever tasted. Imagine mouthwash gone bad, and then put on a potato chip. To summarize, it was "wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong."

Want to try them for yourselves? The suggested retail price for all three is $1.79. We recommend a familiar standby though -- Pringles' original flavor.

 

[apocalidiot]

Fuck that's gotta be good

 

[Hot Coldman]

Pringles debut new lack of good ideas; turns to bad ones instead

 

[Evolved1]

all of those are gross as hell...

 

[Wario64]

why

 

[RobbieNick]

Cinnamon and sugar could be good. The others, I'm not so sure of.

 

[Clydefrog]

Chips don't need to be every flavor in the goddamned world.

 

[Bread]

Chocolate and chips go well together...but pringles? I don't know about that.

 

[Nlroh]

Cinnamon & Sugar please.

 

[Link]

I'm intrigued by the pumpkin flavor.

 

[BobLoblaw]

I'm now convinced that this company is trying to kill people.

 

[UrokeJoe]

I have a feeling Pringles are not very good for me.

 

[Ferrio]

Tons of awesome pringle flavors in other countries that they won't give us, but they bring us this shit.

STOP WITH THIS SHIT

 

[jett]

I'd be willing to try cinnamon and sugar. The other two good lord no.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Why?



....Cinnamon and Sugar might be nice at least.... then again, I don't like Pringles really.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

why

I blame Candy Corn Oreos.

 

[Avixph]

I blame Candy Corn Oreos.

Wait that's real?

 

[bomma_man]

They stopped selling Pringles in Australia for a while, I heard a rumour that it was because they broke some health regulation.

 

[Aurongel]

Cinnamon and Sugar is the only one that has potential of rising above meh.

 

[nib95]

They sound like desserts...

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Wait that's real?

 

[ZROCOOL]

I blame Candy Corn Oreos.

The lemon filled ones are the best!

As for Pringles new flavors, would try them all.

 

[DietRob]

NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS!

I too blame candy corn oreos as nasty as that concept is at least it's still a sweet food.

Mashing up a candy candy can and potato chips sounds like somebody had a big too much egg nog.

 

[Mechazawa]

I don't really see what the issue with candy corn oreas is. If anything lends itself into becoming a sweetened processed paste, it's candy corn.

 

[ReBurn]

Stop the world. I want to get off.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I tried the cheeseburger, queso and buffalo sauce ones recently.

Cheeseburger one was alright. Buffalo sauce was slightly better, wasn't strong enough. Queso/cheese one was nasty.

Will try these.

 

[OptimoPeach]

Now with double the anal leakage!

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

oh god no

 

[Alebrije]

Cinnamon sugar WINS !!!

 

[zerotol]

I'd try the cinnamon and sugar ones, but no way I would touch the pumpkin ones.

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

I'd try them all. ALL OF THEM!

 

[OgTheClever]

And the chances of the human body being able to digest these are...

 

[Emitan]

I would try the pumpkin pie ones.

 

[Grinchy]

I'm really curious to try the peppermint ones now...

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Is it too late to join in on CandyExchange GAF?

 

[Kusagari]

I'll try the pumpkin ones.

I'll try anything pumpkin.

 

[Atramental]

Pumkin spice: Yes
Cinnamon & Sugar: Maybe
White Chocolate Peppermint: Bleh...

 

[The Real Abed]

Ooh. I hope Brad Jones tries them on his show.

 

[brianjones]

 

[shira]

So I said blue M&M, red M&M, they all wind up the same colour

 

[Nakazato]

no sweet potato pie no sale

 

[jb1234]

I tried the cheeseburger, queso and buffalo sauce ones recently.

Cheeseburger one was alright. Buffalo sauce was slightly better, wasn't strong enough. Queso/cheese one was nasty.

Will try these.

A Cheeseburger Pringle?

*barf*

 

[Sadsic]

So I said blue M&M, red M&M, they all wind up the same colour

purple?

 

[Secret Fawful]

Mmm pumpkin pie spice. Lovely.

 

[Kimaka]

These flavors... on chips? Cinnamon Sugar might be alright. Nah to the others

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Sickening

 

[J-Roderton]

I really like the cheesy ones. I'll stay away from those, though.

 

[jb1234]

I'm actually fascinated by the thought of white chocolate peppermint. I mean, how bad could it be?

 

[thesoapster]

I gagged a little.

 

[jbug617]

I'll try the Cinnamon & Sugar.
