Pringles Poll!

haven't eaten them in foooooooooooorever but cheddar cheese easily

Soft-Shelled Crab
Grilled Shrimp
Seaweed
Blueberry & Hazelnut
Lemon

these aren't american releases right?

have always thought these are disgusting

xp nope - those are/were on the asian market allegedly

they are pretty much disgusting, yes

man I did NOT do my due diligence composing this poll. they make a shit ton of these things: jalapeno, ranch, bacon ranch, loaded baked potato, buffalo wing, white cheddar pop...

Blueberry & Hazelnut

what the HELL

that sounds terrible in and of itself, let alone when combined with a potato chip

pringles are not potato chips

okay fair point

"The Lord Justice Hath Ruled: Pringles Are Potato Chips"

According to the patent, Pringles were invented by Alexander Liepa of Montgomery, Ohio.[4] Gene Wolfe developed the machine that cooks them.[5] Their consistent saddle shape is mathematically known as a hyperbolic paraboloid.[6] It has been reported that their design is aided by supercomputers.[7][8]

old pringles logo so much better:

at some point it was decided that every dumb little cartoon logo drawing needed depth:

mr pringle(s?) has lost some hair as well

He now looks like a bald guy with amazing, dense eyebrows.

Is the stuff on top supposed to be eyebrows or hair? Which did they rob him of?

Dude you left off the best flavors. :(

The XTREME pringles are awful - just salt on salt and this is coming from a big salt fan.

haven't tried most of these but you missed Wasabi so I can't vote in good conscience

I was worried that the seaweed one might be made up, but nope.

yeah you're right--it's p. unclear exactly what trauma he has undergone

I think it's supposed to be hair and that maybe they ditched the eyebrows.

Curry pringles are pretty good.

didn't like em much. Kebab Pringles were nothing special either. Like Lime and Chilli best of the ones on this list that I've had.

none of them, pressed garbage shit.

anytime I eat more than 10 pringles I feel the urge to vomit

Honey Mustard sounds like something I wd kill for tho

wtf w/all you ppl not liking pringles?

I know, right?

i eat the original ones pretty often but don't really fuck with any of the other kinds

wtf w/all you ppl not liking pringles?

^^^^^^ otm

pringles are wonderful

voted original btw

I rarely eat them but when I do they're almost always the original ones and it's almost always a real treat.

could markers do a pringles POX

idk what a pox is except for a disease but i only eat the original ones so if i have to know about the other flavors to do a pringles pox then i probably can't

I ate so many of the Sour Cream and Onion ones in high school

I am sure that if I ate them now I would go into salt shock ;_;

disgusting.

the only thing worse than pringles are Munchos or Funyuns.

^^ Dead to me.

I mean sure both Munchos and Funyuns are pretty disgusting but in the most delicious way possible.

well munchos are actually gross and you can get like cape cod chips & they're much better

funyuns are one of a kind tho and they are amazing

dont even get me started on Combos.

I sort of imagine Funyuns to be a real-life analogue to The Stuff

The worst crunchy snack is Bugles.

i am pro munchos and cape cod chips. munchos are also super cheap. a good sized bag at 7-11 is $2

Cape Cod Chips are wonderful, Munchos are not in the same class. Munchos are the work of the devils taint.

x-post - ^ SNACK EXPERT btw

Bugles are horrendous as well.

mother fuckin S to the E.

as someone who used to weigh close to 300 lbs, damn right i was a snack expert

BUGLES ARE AMAZING

x-post well duh they're not in the same class. munchos are like the saltiest, fattiest, most artificial tasting and over processed chip ever but they're heavenly imo. TBH though I can't remember the last time I had one so I might be singing a diff tune if I tasted one right now but I hold them v dear in my memory.

funyuns are fun onions imo also amazing

Markers is the snack expert btw.

Never had bugles.

brownie with needed clarity here

Bugles are basically the essential awesome essence of Chex snack mix.

Cornuts, there is a snack.

Haven't had Bugles in forever but never really liked them much. Pringles, though, are just tops. When I was a kid I used to make myself tuna salad sandwiches for lunch and, before putting the top piece of bread on, carefully position about half a dozen Pringles on the sandwich. Place bread, smash Pringles, eat sandwich, swoon.

Love Mitch Hedberg's joke about Pringles being originally a company that made tennis balls, then they got a shipment of potatoes by accident one day.

i dont think the new logo is even that bad on its own, its just that the old one was so much cooler, this old timey stern 19th century baseballer or bartender gazing into ur soul while u munch on potato snacks

i havent touched a pringle in a coon's age, but when i'd eat them in my teens i'd often lick off all the dusty flavor coating before eating each individual pringle

Wish I could find a picture of Peter Bagge's character Pencils, who was always armed with a bag of Bugles.

when we were kids, my buddy and I use to challenge each other to see who could fit the most Pringles in their mouth at the same time.

Maybe being names after a writing instrument = your fate is to love & be associated with savory gas station snacks. xp to self

PRINGLES WITH OLESTRA. not only do they taste like rotten ass, you squirt your pants too.

Markers is the snack expert btw.

Never had bugles.

<3

call me plain and boring, i like peanuts and thats about it.

no ranch? the 9 year old version of myself could not be more offended.
the current version of myself dislikes all of them, however.

i dislike them because as a fat kid i ate so many once and vomited sour cream and onion pringles all over myself. To this day, i cannot stand any pringles.

hate the player not the game imo

Jordan S otm tho about C Cod chips. They're the king of potato chips imo and even the reduced fat ones are delicious.

i like the Cape Cod Russetts.

Does anyone actually like those Baked Doritos, what a fucking travesty.

salt and vinegar all day every day

Lay's Pringle-knockoff are even worse. I can feel the hydrogenated fat solidify in my esophagus when I eat them.

would have voted Extreme Blazin' Buffalo Wing, which is the best

http://www.taquitos.net/im/sn/Pringles-ExtremeBuffalo.jpg

I'm always disappointed whenever I buy anything other than original.

would have voted Extreme Blazin' Buffalo Wing, which is the best

Seconded. Actually, for me they're tied with Onion Blossom, which I voted for, because I once ate an entire can in one sitting and felt the oddest sense of accomplishment ever. The cajun is disappointingly underwhelming, though.

Screamin' Dill Pickle is salty as hell.

this was definitely a good use of my time

http://i55.tinypic.com/1r22ba.png

http://i55.tinypic.com/1r22ba.png

best thing about pringles is that the hyperbolic shape allows you to maximize the chip-to-tongue contact area for a supreme flavor shock

Plus the whole making-a-duck-bill-out-of-two-Pringles thing.

http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2009/3/15/128815914489173728.jpg

using only my tongue to break a pringles into pieces makes me feel tough for some reason

it's like an lame version of being able to unwrap a starburst or tie a cherry stem into a knot w/ your tongue

http://i55.tinypic.com/1r22ba.png

This is adorbs. You should really move into the world of 8-bit snack illustration.

lately when i walk down to the mailbox with the toddler we'll go into the nearby High's and grab a snack, usually Pringles, and i'll try some weird flavor just to really highlight our unhealthy indulgence. best one so far has been loaded baked potato, disappointed i can't vote for it.

xpost

:D <3

omg I was wondering if I would be met with a :D or a <3 but I got both.

I remembered why I always think of Pringles as slightly geexy: http://www.binarywolf.com/249/pringles_cantenna.htm

request: 8bit sour cream pringles!

"Peter Bagge's character Pencils, who was always armed with a bag of Bugles."

Just bought from P&G by the maker of Kettle Chips.

Kettle Chips has a 'fully loaded baked potato' flavor btw

Eleven Months?

No mention of chewed up pringles/resultant paste between two pringles? Shame on you all.

They did pizza-flavoured ones once, which would surely have caused this thread to explode. The correct answer, anyway, is sour cream and onion.

I think everyone has been mentally adding "resultant paste" to every post on this thread.

Or maybe that's just me.

Oh, I never noticed pizzalicious on the poll, my bad. They were quite nice actually, but I haven't seen them in the UK for years, and they didn't taste like any form of pizza I've ever eaten.

http://www.ettason.com/Upload/CAL0008.jpg

^^ the best pizza potato chip

I hope this poll gets more voters than mine did.

Best Pringle since?

I did a Pringles search and didn't see that!

Pringles rule! fuiud...
Bugles are awesome, fuiud

I had never heard the Mitch Hedberg joke about Pringles mentioned upthread and have just now composed myself enough to be able to see while typing /dying over here

The thing with Bugles is that, they rock on their own. BUT they're even better when you spray aerosol cheese into them and make little Bugle-and-cheese ice cream cones.

omg

<D

that sounds terrifyingly good and I will probably never attempt it in my lifetime or they will be lifting me out of the house with a crane upon my death

wow Pringles brand sold for 1.5 billion! I do not remember what they even taste like. I do remember being underwhelmed which is, when you consider that they are entirely manufactured and have unlimited potential for dazzling taste buds the world over, a travesty. I mean Funyuns made onions fun again.

Procter & Gamble owned Pringles for a long time.... I always thought it telling that Pringles were made by a soap/detergent/toothpaste company, not a food company.

that sounds terrifyingly good and I will probably never attempt it in my lifetime or they will be lifting me out of the house with a crane upon my death

It's like crack with advance warning. So since you know it might fuck you up long-term, just go on a Bugles-n-aerosol-cheese bender, and then walk away. I do this once a year. I use my vacation time from work.

i'm not sure if i can take people who like Bugles seriously. I look down on all those snack foods that never seem to be on grocery store shelves, but only show up in vending machines, drugstores, gas stations, etc. See also: Andy Capp Hot Fries, Munchos, Funyons, and most anything else bearing a name that's embarrassing to say aloud.

u really must hate life and fun

no i just take snack foods more seriously than you Funyon People.

tiny little toasts with liver paste do not count as snacks ITT if that is what you are getting at

Salt & Vinegar will always be the best chip/crisp flavor by a substantial margin, so I feel a vote for that would be mostly unspecific to Pringles.

Their take on SC&O, on the other hand, bests pretty much all comers in the chain-supermarket snack aisle circuit.

Taco Night!

(recalled)

tiny little toasts with liver paste do not count as snacks ITT if that is what you are getting at

nah, i'm just into legit stuff. y'know, like what you'd find in the chain-supermarket snack aisle circuit

^that's the only place I've ever seen Bugles. Never seen them in vending machines or at gas stations.

If Funyuns are not considered legitimate snack food, then let us extol the virtues of illegitimate snack food.

If your grocery store does not stock Bugles or Funyuns is it REALLY a grocery store?

^that's the only place I've ever seen Bugles. Never seen them in vending machines or at gas stations.

whaa? i don't recall ever seeing them offered by a LEGITIMATE grocer. maybe a save-a-lot or aldi-type place... mostly i've just seen them at skeevier gas stations, vending machines of seedy motels, severely understocked bodegas that are fronts for drug businesses, that sort of thing. it's not so much that they're downmarket, even...they're just sort of, well, sleazy. compared to something more on the chaste spectrum, y'know, like a ruffle or a pringle... or even a tostito.

most of those aforementioned non-legit snacks are not even recognized by the american snack association. look it up on your internet, i'm not making this up.

Pringles are on sale like 3 big tins for CAD $5 at this bourgeois IGA in the middle of a crack and heroin zone. No one's buying 'em at regular price.

Scooped up, um, extreme ranch, dill pickle, smokey barbecue or something. Extreme ranch was good eating on its own. Dill pickle I mostly put them in a ziploc bag and bashed them up to put them in my tuna sandwiches. That was pretty tight. Smokey barbecue tasted a bit like an ashtray but I finished them.

Used to love the jalapeño ones when I was a dope smoker. They were fucking hardcore. None of the shit I just bought measures up. This poll is bullshit. Fuck this.

haha

gtfo with your tostitos Del

Am craving sour cream and onion pringles now DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL

gtfo with your tostitos Del

hehheh

never thought i would see the day when i'd be hounded in my own country simply for extolling the virtues of round salty goodness

Their take on SC&O, on the other hand, bests pretty much all comers in the chain-supermarket snack aisle circuit.

http://www.herrs.com/products/Chips/images/SourCream-Onion.jpg

herr's chips always seem like they've been stomped on before being sent out to the stores. it's really quite frustrating.

y'all i have a tube of original pringles w/ me atm

dell, ya gotta go to whoever does the biggest volume - I get mine fresh from shoprite.

it's actually been proven though that the best herr's come from the smallest bags - the 25 cent bags are best, followed by the 69 and 99 cent ones. teh family size ones are horribly inconsistent.

Does anyone have any information on why those ones were recalled? Poisonous?

wow

LET'S DO IT

first batch should be cilantro flavored

here is my 'pringles story'

i was doing my first ultramarathon last year, a 37 mile footrace in 85 degree texas weather on a rocky/hilly trail that started at 7pm and went overnight (i finished close to 5-6am). i was close to mile 30, absolutely fucking wiped out and weak and felt like i was gonna die, and sat down at an aid station and this lady goes "you have to go on... you're almost there! here, eat these, they help" and she handed me like 12-15 pringles and i ate them all. perfect runners' food for ultramarathons-- super salty, super carbohydrate packed, high calorie to low mass ratio, and you dont even have to fucking chew them, you just smash them against the roof of your mouth with your tongue and they shatter and you can swallow them. trust me, it sounds stupid but it gets really hard to chew/swallow once your body realizes you've been running for 9 fucking hours and basically shuts down your digestive system to focus on other maintenance. anyway, i ate all the pringles, washed them down with a cup of coca-cola (i havent had soda in about a decade, ever, other than a blanket exception for long trail runs; that shit also works wonders out there), changed socks and shirt, and after about 5 minutes suddenly i felt fucking incredible. got up, shuffled around the trails for another hour and a half at like 5:00am and BOOM-- THIRTY SEVEN FUCKING MILES.

they were original pringles btw, so i voted original.

and i dont normally eat pringles, or soda like i said, but ill eat or drink anything on a run so long as it keeps me moving

Flavours: Original, Paprika, Tomato & Mayonnaise, Jalapeno, Prawn cocktail, Honey Mustard, Seaweed Wasabi, Oregano, Pizza, Sweet Chilli, Cheddar Cheese, Thai Curry, Barbecue, Sour Cream & onion, Salt & Vinegar, Extreme Hot, etc.

ulkh

see, I rest my Pringles canisters next to my soda cans on my shelf-like abdominal protrusion.

xxp

oh my god I wish ilx still had unlimited poll options

http://nowthatsnifty.blogspot.com/2011/04/102-doritos-flavors-from-around-world.html#links

"winter crab"!!!!!

I'm still confused by dell's pic of Old American Circus Funky Mustard flavor Pringles

Does anyone have any information on why those ones were recalled? Poisonous?

Cheeseburger and "Taco Night" were recalled in March 2010 as a safety precaution after salmonella was found in a Basic Food Flavors plant which produces the "flavor-enhancing hydrolyzed vegetable protein"(?!) used in those flavors.

sounds like taco night to me...

See also: Andy Capp Hot Fries

Whoa, let's not say anything we'll regret. If God exists, He snacks on Andy Capp Hot Fries.

http://www.candyfavorites.com/andy-capp-hot-fries

Andy Capp Hot Fries are a delicious snack with an interesting history.

Did you know that the Andy Capp cartoon character preceded the beloved chips by approximately thirteen (13) years?

In 1958, the English Cartoonist Reg Smythe first launched the cartoon strip in the Daily Mirror. It became a cult phenomenon and to this day, it is still published in over five hundred (500) newspapers circling the globe.

Yes, yes, we knew that...

sour cream & onion easily, texas bbq the only other flavour i'll buy - seaweed could tempt me though, if i'd ever seen it!

what the hell @ lemon flavour pringles, and what the HELL @ blueberry and hazelnut anything

the barbecue ones really do taste like smoked cigarettes.

kinda hate pringles but sour cream and onion or original if they're on offer.

Original, thanks. THAT'S RIGHT, I'M A PRINGLES PURITAN (tm).

whaa? i don't recall ever seeing them offered by a LEGITIMATE grocer. maybe a save-a-lot or aldi-type place... mostly i've just seen them at skeevier gas stations, vending machines of seedy motels, severely understocked bodegas that are fronts for drug businesses, that sort of thing. it's not so much that they're downmarket, even...they're just sort of, well, sleazy. compared to something more on the chaste spectrum, y'know, like a ruffle or a pringle... or even a tostito.

I know the class of snack of which you speak, but Bugles are a different scene. I've literally only bought them in Dominick's (Chicago), Stop & Shop (Mass), and Price Chopper (upstate NY), all reputable chain grocery stores. I have seen them in gas stations, but in the massive mini-marts in those stations, not in a vending-machine-in-the-service-bay kind of place.

My defense of Bugles stops, however, at their changeover from box to bag. Too many crushed corn trumpets.

-rudy giuliani

lol the grocery store in my town IS a skeevy gas station

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

long poll lol

I've since experienced cheese and barbecue. BBQ definitely = smoked cigarettes, cheese are good but more than 5 gives me regret.

their Salt and Vinegar is like chemical warfare, I don't understand why they would do that to a chip. It's like an OTT wasabi sensation, too painful for snackfoods imo. and I usually love vinegar.

Original all the way. I STAND FOR PURITY

I <3 the longevity of this poll

I hope del has since had a chance to reconsider his stance. pate and tiny toasts. pfft.

i wd still vote for Wasabi

let me repost this picture

http://larsmartinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/prin2_1.jpg

it looks like an amusement park ride

OLD Pringles
AMERICAN CIRCUS

Funky Mustard

It sounds like the title of a lost Parliament album?

:D <3

^happy about his balls guy

"ethnic spicy" flavor also dense w mystery

sooo...garam masala?

old pringles logo so much better:

at some point it was decided that every dumb little cartoon logo drawing needed depth:

Pringles is owned by Procter & Gamble, and thus like every other P&G product must have its logo mucked with every decade or so, always winding up boldfaced, italicized, 3-dimentional, and slanted upwards in a misguided effort to keep the "brand" looking contemporary.

Seaweed?

\o^0/

seaweed flavour is so goooood

I don't even buy Pringles, because I know I will end up eating the whole cylinder of chips if I do.

http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slideshows/909/slideshow_90938/display_image.jpg

The Capital Centre (1973-1998) was the local rock arena where I grew up. I could not look at this place without thinking of Pringles.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Anti-Munchos sentiment in this thread is tragic.

I ride for Munchos

my opinion has always been that the reduced fat original flavor tastes better than the regular original flavor

these things are so funny, potato chips for people who are neat and fussy but still want to eat potato chips.

watched a video of a hydraulic press crushing a Pringle’s can, all the grease dripped out at once at the end like a popped zit it was disgusting 🤮

I THINK I'M BIG PRING
CHEETOS MINIS

i got these the other day. i like them. they go good together.

I'd guess Taki's would be the crack cocaine of these types of snacks. Some of that sh1t is hot.

i like spicy food, chili, curry, salsa, etc but i don't like any of the spicy junk food flavors, powdered chilis are unpleasant on something that insubstantial
