Pringles Poll!

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

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.

xxp

oh my god I wish ilx still had unlimited poll options

"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...

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

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

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?
