Pringles Poll!

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.

^^ 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.

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

i like my Pringles the same way i like my internet message boards. "ethnic" and salty, and of course heavy on the maltodextrin

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.

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.
