Are Pringles getting worse?

Specifically salt and vinegar flavour. You used to have a get the odd dud tube (slightly stale no favour) but now they all taste like that.

Have I been unlucky? Do I need to find a new preferred crisp?

YABU: Pringles are still good, you are problem

YANBU: don't waste your money, get yourself a new brand!

They're still good, although I bought once BBQ flavour and they almost didn't have any spices on them- I think it must have been some one off, because it was just this one tub.

Never really cared for Pringles since they stopped doing the ridged ones. Normal ones just seem too thin now, feels like they're getting thinner but it's probably my imagination.

Each and every S&V Pringle I have ever eaten (more then a few) has been of Michelin star quality.

I really fancy some now 😋

They don't taste like they used to. Someone will be along in a minute to tell us to do a covid test Grin

Pringles are vile and disgusting. In every flavour. You just for liking them at all 🤣 they have the texture of soggy cardboard when you eat them.

LadyKenya · 10/11/2022 14:00

Pringles are not good.

Luckynumbereight · 10/11/2022 14:00

It’s the salt police, OP. They have ruined every crisp out there. 🙁

KimberleyClark · 10/11/2022 14:00

Pringles are made from reconstituted dried mashed potato rather than actual potato slices.

Myleakycauldron · 10/11/2022 14:02

I always felt like they were an aspirational crisp 😂

I have the opposite issue with them

Have found over the last year Pringles seem to have too much seasoning, makes them inedible - too salty and vinegary, Texas BBQ seem to only have half the crisp seasoned, but it’s so heavily seasoned it hurts

OneTC · 10/11/2022 17:03

They're getting thinner so if you use them for dipping then they break more often

Hooverphobe · 10/11/2022 17:08

At £3 a tube (rrp) they can STOP!

allthecrooksandnannies · 10/11/2022 17:09

I had some really dodgy BBQ ones recently. Still ate them though!

PeekabooAtTheZoo · 10/11/2022 17:38

YANBU I've gone off Pringles of late. They seem smaller than they used to be as well.

misskatamari · 10/11/2022 17:40

Honestly - get to Aldi and try their own brand ones! They used to be quite crap, but they changed them a while ago and now I prefer them to actual pringles!

CryCeratops · 10/11/2022 17:44

Most of the Pringles I’ve bought recently have been disappointingly bland without much flavouring in them.

Seconded

Lidl "Pringles" are very nice
Only had the Cheese and Chive I think it is
Prefer them to actual Pringles and on my shopping list for tomorrow

LikeTearsInRain · 10/11/2022 18:18

Can’t stand Pringles breath and they are really low quality carbs so generally I avoid

Do you mean the pack size or the actual crisp?

Agreed, revolting things, like eating damp cardboard.

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 10/11/2022 18:34

I haven’t tried them for ages because the last lot I had were a shadow of their former selves. They aren’t crisp any more and taste and feel slightly stale.

Zombiemumbie · 10/11/2022 18:35

for top tier salt and vinegar flavour you need to get yourself to a coop ASAP and get their own brand sea salt and Chardonnay crisps. Thank me later 🤤

Halloweenshock · 10/11/2022 18:37

Food doesn’t get more processed than Pringles. Utterly vile.
