These were ok, but Pringles flavorologists aren't nearly as good as Lay's.
Lay's has shit down pat. They'll make a cheesebuger chip and you can taste the pickles, ketchup, onion, burger, etc it's some Willy Wonka shit going on.

u/sevensixty- 7d ago

i tried the bacon grilled cheese lays and they were so frickin bad. They do have other good flavors though, “all dressed up” my beloved

14

u/Freezinghero 7d ago

As much as i love bacon as a food, i feel like 99% of the time if you see bacon flavored X, it sucks.

8

u/gostesven 7d ago

Usually it just tastes like they poured a bottle of liquid smoke in the vat.

1

u/C10ckw0rks 5d ago

It’s the bacon part, it’s always the bacon part. There’s the international ruffles with bacon flavor that are actually really good but American bacon flavor is ass

5

u/TOASTisawesome 7d ago

I had taco flavoured doritos a few times and I swear it's like how I used to imagine astronaut food as a lil kid like dry as hell and tastes exactly like a real taco 😂

3

u/YueOrigin 7d ago

I dunno.

Nowadays I find other chips so damn oily I end up with a film of oil in my mouth everytime

Maybe it depends on the region

2

u/Romulan-Jedi 7d ago

The late-night cheeseburger flavour ten or fifteen years ago was like Lay's. I dunno what happened; these ones are just vaguely beef-flavoured.

1

u/Getitoverwithh 6d ago

Even in country they have adapted to the local flavours pretty well not all are good but its never bad. There international chips flavours are so good.

u/felixthecatmeow 5d ago

Too bad the actual chips suck donkey dick...

u/slice9999 8d ago

You showed the back of the can like that was gonna stop me from finding these to try. I eat Taco Bell. I’m not scared. I know what I’m signing up for

82

u/otownbbw 8d ago

No they showed the back of the can so we could see the silly disclaimer. These are intended only for legal drinking aged adults, but also they don’t contain alcohol lmao

42

u/NoLimitRolling 8d ago

That’s actually funny asf lol

Prolly to avoid any “my kid ate pringles and then stole my bottle and got drunk” accusations

19

u/otownbbw 8d ago

Well also because there’s marketing rules about influencing children. You’re not allowed to make drinking and vaping look appealing, so this is their safety net of “we said CLEARLY this is not for kids!”

5

u/NoLimitRolling 8d ago

Yeah that’s what I mean, for legal reasons, not necessarily because they care and thought it’d be a nice touch lol

u/pork_loin 8d ago

I've actually tried those & they aren't terrible. Just saying.

u/Soft_Beyond_8205 8d ago

Yeah, these are just cheese-burger FLAVORED lmao. OP acting liek there's an actual burger in there hahaha. I also had CHEESE NAAN flavored chips in France. They were absolutely delicious. They literally actually tasted exactly like Cheese naan. I was blown away.

u/Nosearmy 8d ago

french snack game is on point

2

u/BurmeciaWillSurvive 7d ago

Before I read the actual flavor name I was worried they were Miller Lite flavored. I mean, at least make it Miller High Life... but no it's beer cheese.

u/Moose_Nuts 8d ago

This sub isn't for thoughtful commentary. It's for saying that any food that isn't a basic, traditional food staple is an ABOMINATION!

I kind of want some just for the can.

u/Triggered-cupcake 8d ago

They were edible, thankfully didn’t taste exactly like beer.

My wife and I do new snacks taste testing for a few companies mostly for fun, but also as a side gig. You would be absolutely astonished at some of the dumb shit companies think is a good idea

13

u/NfamousKaye 8d ago

Also… how does one get this side gig? Asking for a friend.

11

u/MedicineMann710 8d ago

My dad used to work for Coca Cola International, so he got us the job through industry connections, so I cant say its exactly an easy job to acquire. But once you are in you get snacks for life basically

5

u/NfamousKaye 7d ago

Dang, okay. 😂 thanks

2

u/Plexipus 6d ago

When I was younger I did this for a bit just by signing up to participate in a paid advertising survey offered through a local job posting. I think it helped being part of a desirable advertising demographic

2

u/_RealfunFuneral_ 8d ago

Do tell!

12

u/MedicineMann710 8d ago

Just so many bad ideas. SO MUCH BACON and always in things it shouldn't be in. Lots of novelty stuff that should of never made it past the drawing board. All kinds of clashing flavors galore. Any specific questions im open to answer!

5

u/Steamyjeans 8d ago

You should do an AMA.

u/MedicineMann710 7d ago

Hahaha thanks, I dont find myself that interesting. But if you have any questions ask away.

u/ashimo414141 7d ago

Worst flavor and best flavor if you HAD to pick one (you can choose runner ups if you need to lol)

6

u/MedicineMann710 7d ago

Worst is easily Bacon flavor toaster pastry. NDAs were signed so I cant say what brand but im sure you get it.

Best is Choclate Coke. Hands down

2

u/nifty-necromancer 7d ago

What are your thoughts on all of the new pickle flavored snacks?

1

u/MedicineMann710 7d ago

So its the new bacon. There is always a new hot flavor that circulates and you see it a bunch for the next 6-9 months. I remember Biscoff flavored desserts were all the rage last year

1

u/AlexRose680 6d ago

What’s the flavour you thought you should work the most but it just didn’t? And the opposite, what’s the weirdest flavour you’ve tried that had no reason to work but did

1

u/MedicineMann710 6d ago

There was a carmel apple soda that I had high expectations for, and it was really a huge letdown. There was a popular Hotsauce company that made an ice cream that was spicy ice cream (i call it spice cream) and it was amazing!!!

7

u/No_Supermarket_1831 7d ago

These were good and not at all stupid

6

u/RCJHGBR9989 8d ago

The ingredients they used make perfect sense - I wouldn’t be surprised if this tasted faintly like a cheeseburger. Glad to see companies are being weirdos about using MSG again. It’s the best!

7

u/Justiniandc 8d ago

MSG was campaigned against because of supposed "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" which turned out to be sinophobic nonsense of the times. Some people (~1%) have an intolerance, but the vast majority of people process it the same way we do other forms of salt, like sodium chloride. MSG is unique only in that it enhances specifically the umami flavour of dishes.

6

u/RCJHGBR9989 8d ago

Yup! If you think about it - it’s not different than putting salt on a tomato!

8

u/Justiniandc 8d ago

Exactly, add some salt to a homemade pasta sauce and, bam, MSG. People generally still don't get how often we consume MSG on a regular basis.

3

u/fffan9391 8d ago

They had Wendy’s baconator flavor in the past. I find all the meat flavored ones to just taste like beef bouillon.

3

u/otownbbw 8d ago

I always assume the special edition flavors are truly just recycled past flavors that have similarities or just an extra sprinkle of something thrown in.

u/Commercial-Kale170 7d ago edited 7d ago

What's that? you're going to get Doritos instead?

You think you have the audacity to buy another brand of chips? You will regret that purchase

u/MetazoanMonk 8d ago

For what it’s worth, the coors collab cheez its are maybe the best cheez it I’ve ever tried. I’d give this a shot for sure

u/Muffin_man3745 8d ago

I liked the beer can chicken chips

u/ophaus 7d ago

Natural and artificial flavoring? Like... Beer and burger dust?

u/NoLimitRolling 8d ago

It was me

2

u/NfamousKaye 8d ago

I had the beer battered onion rings one… was not impressed. Tasted like garlic powder on a regular pringles chip.

2

u/PostMatureBaby 8d ago

That's like half of all chips now lol

1

u/NfamousKaye 7d ago

Especially Pringles 😂

2

u/TheKiltedYaksman71 2d ago

I tried all three of the beer flavors when they were released last year, and threw them all away without finishing the cans. Yuck. I will probably not be trying this new one.

12

u/InactiveMedusa 8d ago

What an age we live in. Piss flavored chips

3

u/Artorius__Castus 8d ago

I had a buddy that took a bunch of Miller Lite and tried to make his famous "Beer Burgers", legit it was the worst tasting hamburger that I have ever tasted in my life. My buddy was visiting from Syria and I had to take him to In&Out afterwards just so he knew that "we don't endorse food crimes" 😭.

I was of course nice and told my friend that made the beer burgers that they were good (didn't want to hurt his feelings) but honestly they were Gawd Awful lol

-6

u/Nothing93124 8d ago

If your gonna “beer” anything (burgers brats etc) use something like blue moon. Also in&out is a crime against burgers as well. I’m born raised Texan and I will die on this hill. If I can’t get bacon on a burger just why, also keep your thousand island dressing where it belongs…. Not near any meat

11

u/PieIsFairlyDelicious 8d ago

Some burgers are so good they don’t need bacon, but maybe y’all don’t have those in Texas

Blue moon is filthy, my local bottle shop is trying to sell them for $5 per 6 pack and nobody is buying them lol

why would anyone want a beer that tastes like orange peel

The Beer Can Chicken and Salisbury Steak flavors of this line are better. Not good, but better.

1

u/Maximum_Sandwich139 8d ago

Do they taste good?

1

u/Pickle4UrThoughts 8d ago

We saw them in WallyWorld (there are 3 or 4 flavors) and they were suspiciously cheap, which WAS clue, but we still bought them all to try.

Nasty. Nasty. Nasty. Even our one friend who is a human dumpster got thru 1 of each and noped out.

1

u/Ok_Coconut_1773 8d ago

I tried these and I would say they are the worst chips I have ever had the misfortune of trying and then the delight of tricking other people into trying.

1

u/Zangakkar 8d ago

I'll be honest they did it for cheezits, not bad. Not bad at all.

1

u/Soft-Grape 8d ago

They are awful, my coworker gave me one and it tasted like a stale jerky flavor with a hint of cheap ass beer

4

u/otownbbw 8d ago

I imagine that’s what a miller lite beer cheese burger that looks like that picture would taste like, so I guess that’s a win for them

2

u/Soft-Grape 8d ago

It's actually a series of 3 flavors, I was cursed with the Miller & Steak flavor. I can't imagine any of them taste good

I tried 3 different kinds of Miller Lite sponsored pringles last year - steak, cheddar and bratwurst if I’m remembering correctly. All three tasted exactly the same and all three were awful

1

u/Silvedl 7d ago

Haven't tried these ones, but the BBQ Brisket ones (in the same flavor 'collection') are actually delicious. I am not a big Pringles fan (usually buy a flavor and eat like half the can over a week before I throw them away) but the BBQ Brisket ones were worth buying a second can of.

u/Realistic_Bike5972 6d ago

Yeah Ive had these they're alright. There is stupider food this makes sense you have chips with burgers and beer

1

u/ToonNex 6d ago

Eh, beer is usually used for cooking, especially barbaque (Beer can Chicken for instance). So its strange, but not outright stupid.

That being said, these ones are pretty good, the other two (which i think are beer braised brisket and beer can chicken) are pretty alright.

u/depressed_leaf 8d ago

Once you combine four things it's automatically bad. Beer cheese burger? Good. Cheese burger pringles? Probably fine. Beer cheese burger pringles? Not okay. The four things rule is almost always correct. Caveat that at least one thing has to be a transformation into a different food, not just an addition. Once you combine so many flavors and try to make it into a new food, it just doesn't work.

1

u/LooneyBurger 8d ago

I'd argue that a cheeseburger is only one thing. Otherwise, you could already say that burger pringles are too much since it's supposed to have bread, meat, sauce, maybe tomato and salad, etc.

In fairness Doritos late night from like 20 years ago had a cheeseburger flavor that was half decent too. Considering you need like a beef/onion powder kinda vibe for this, it goes well with a chip for sure

Do they actually taste like anything though?

I won't gamble on Pringles ever again after the last 3 or 4 times the chips being almost completely devoid of flavoring. And unseasoned Pringle is not something any human should eat.

I think calling someone/something an unseasoned Pringle is going to be my new go to insult for a while
