WTF?
Although TJ’s used to carry a Tempura battered Wasabi Seaweed bag of chips that was incredible!
But Pringles, the saltiest potato “product” ever? Disgusting.
Ew! Gross. Paging Andrew Zimmern!
Folks, i’ve actually tried the grilled shrimp flavor. It was a moment I can never take back. I wouldn’t recommend it.
THE paul f. tompkins? love you. welcome to FNH!
They DO NOT taste like chicken??? HEE, HEE.
That’s some serious Fear Factor shit right there.
LOL!!
someone should take them, eat them, and then review them.
Oh man, I hope they have these in Hawaii so my fave junk food blog (The Impulsive Buy: http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com) will review them! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Japanese flavors are more readily available there.
All Japanese flavors, I believe.
I’d try them, can’t be any worse than the Loaded Baked Potato and other flavors they’ve tried recently.
I think it could be about 1000 times worse!
if my eyes do not deceive me doesn’t the little red sign in the corner say “Appetizing Life”???
not for these Pringles, Blech!
in what store does one find these abominations of cuisine??
These flavors are marketed in Japan. I happen to catch a piece of Munchies Unwrapped last night and they showed these morsels of goodness.
hmmm well, I like seaweed flavor in other forms, but probably not as a Pringles chip. I’ve also seen crab-flavored chips from other companies. Grilled shrimp, now that’s unique. I can’t tell from the tag on the shelf in the picture.. where are these sold?
If you go to the pringles website, it gives you all the different kinds of pringles from all over the world!
This is in Japan isn’t it? I’m surprised there isn’t a “whale killed for science” flavor. Zing!
Disgusting. But, I’m totally buying some if I see them.
I thought this was some photoshopped joke. Seriously. OMFG.
I thought the middle one said “browwwwn” like it was Anne Burrell’s personal brand od pringles.
I still can’t read it since I am browsing on my phone so will have to figure out what it says later.
Until then, Browwwwwn it is. ;)
Pringles are an unnecessary evil. jmo
Trailer Park Sushi aka Sandra Lee Sushi:
2 Seaweed Pringles
1 Crab or Shrimp Pringle
Sandwich Crab or Shrimp pringle between 2 seaweed pringles.
Wash down with copious amounts of grocery store vodka, lemon-aide and cream.
Yummo!!!
LMAO!
LOL!!
Great post. :)
@JMSIV: Hilarious! Two thumbs up.
“For extra flavor, put your Pringle sushi on a bed of minute made rice soaked in queso. It’s super simple and really delicious.”
YES.
LOL !
But you forgot you must first spread the seaweed pringle with apple butter. Attenshun to detail!!
brilliant~!
Wait till you try the Pringles skunk asshole flavor.A bit musty, but it lingers on you.
aka Guy Fieri flavored Pringles.
Errr….yuck.
You guys are being awfully judgmental about artificial flavoring. They aren’t even overly strange flavors, like Stinky Tofu or Squid Blood. Just different.
Now if they dried and pressed an actual soft shell crab into a Pringle shape, that’d be a whole other story.
I’d at least try the seaweed flavor because, as I said above, I’ve enjoyed it a lot in other forms (around sushi, some TJ’s treats as Dank mentions in the first posting), but as a Pringle it might be a stretch.
At any rate, you make a good point. I’ve seen other Japanese products with odd flavors. Not overly strange or patently disgusting (subjective, I know), just something outside of what I am accustomed to tasting. And most probably at least worth a sample.
I think Doritos came out with some cheeseburger flavored chips here in the US not long back. Just as a test in (I think) limited markets. Horrible.
I had those cheeseburger ones…bleh.
Okay, to be honest they were okay after a little while, but the aftertaste!
When I see a can of Pringles, I think of what Mitch Hedburg said…that the people at Pringles were pretty cool. The company was supposed to produce tennis balls, but one day, they got a delivery of potatoes instead of the balls. They said, fuck it, let’s just make potato chips…..
Miss ya Mitch. A foodie and a great comedian.
Isn’t Pringles a Procter & Gamble product? That company makes everything from SOAP to nuts!
… to chips!
They used to make a corn chip style one, years and years ago. I just LOVED them. Been looking around forever. I don’t think they make them anymore.
That’s just nastiness.
According to what I’ve read, these are Thai pringles, not Japanese.
That being said, I’d actually be interested in trying all of them (though I’d be willing the bet the shrimp wouldn’t be that good). Of course, mobid curiousity does not beget necessity… so these would still quite qualify as unnecessary pringles.
My friends recently moved to Indonesia and they have the grilled shrimp Pringles there.
In Germany they have “Paprika” flavor. Just paprika and plain were the major flavors. Those crazy Germans ;)
Oof, I loved paprika chips. When I saw this post that’s where my mind went immediately!
In England, they have the most absurd chip flavors I’d ever seen. “Roast dinner with yorkshire pudding” may have been the strangest….
LOL! This looks like something from engrish.com. Love JMSIV’s Trailer Park Sushi russipe!
Those actually look good. I would buy them, especially the crab or seaweed.
All these flavors and they still can’t do low sodium
These are all COMPLETELY necessary!
Have you ever had mushroom pringles? Have you? Well have you?
You’d be singing a different song if you had.
The most interesting thing about Pringles to me is that Proctor and Gamble loses money on every can of them (according to a friend of mind who worked for P&G for about four years). The can itself costs ridiculously more than any other company’s potato chip packaging and the chips cost much more than real potato chips to make. Real chips are just sliced potatos fried in oil, but Pringles have to be constructed out of potato, wheat starch, rice flour, etc. and then put through a press to make them uniform, to fit in the can. They may be gross, but according to my friend they were a labor of love for everyone involved in their development and kind of a snack dream come true for the President of P&G, who loved them so much he didn’t mind losing money on them.
Sorry, not buying that. The can is rolled lined cardboard. There’s nothing inherently expensive about it. And by using a potato flake with other ingredients and binders, the waste is alot less than using whole potatoes. And shaping them means the process is efficient too. P&C is a public company. The Pringles brand is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. There is no way they lose even a fraction of a cent on each can when they have stockholders to answer to with that kind of sales volume. It makes no business sense to have Pringles as a loss leader. We’re not talking “give away the razor to sell the blades” here.
You’ll have a better chance of convincing me that Rachel Ray is a master pastry chef.
WHO is on Pringles’ tasting panel?
Why no lobster flavor?
Paprika flavored are also available in Italy. I’ve tried them and they’re pretty good!
Is it just me or do all Pringles taste the same? It’s like no matter what flavor they are supposed to be, they always taste the same. I hate Pringles and I will eat them as a last resort only.
I really, really like the new multigrain pringles. They taste like sunchips but are way cheaper.
I’m starving, so these actually look appetizing. :|
There is NO SUCH THING as “unnecessary Pringles”.
I’m not usually a Pringles fan but I have to admit I love their sour cream and onion ones. As for these three I think I’ll pass!
just saw on MSNBC ticker that “two different flavors of Pringles have been recalled”….
COINCIDENCE??? oh, i think not—— ;]
http://www.wwj.com/Pringles-Recall/6526263
I hate all Pringles – always have, always will. I mean, why bother when REAL chips are available?!
A total waste of cardboard :(
If I could find this product I would totally try each flavour. I’m a weirdo though so I’d probably like them.
I’ve had nori potato chips which were probably the best potato chips I’ve ever had and shrimp chips that were mighty tasty. Pringles flavors though….
Asians have a different palatte that’s all. In England you can get roast beef and pickled onion flavored chips.
I’d rather eat shrimp Pringles than a whole onion dropped in batter and deep-fried (or anything Paula Deen would put in front of me).
Shorter FNH: Foreigners suck!
This is in Malaysia! Actually they all quite good! I’ve taste them all
Heads up on the Pringles recall that LostinPlace and CherryRose posted about above! Stephen Colbert did a hilarious segment about this on his Comedy Central show last night. The two recalled products were “Taco Night” and “Cheeseburger” flavored Pringles (out of the dozens of other Pringles flavors that Stephen sweeped off his desk), with possible Salmonella contamination. Yuck.
We’re having a discussion about this over on the forums.
Have never liked these processed weirdo textured “chips” in a tennis ball can. Funny that there is a recall just as we are discussing the variety of trendy flavors.
Pauler’s Pringles – with “just a hint” of butter.
Giada’s Pringles – with basil and lemon rind
Sandra’s Pringles – with sloppy joes and hamburger helper flavor
Bobby’s Pringles – with chipotle and southwestern flavor
Nealy’s Pringles – with bbq and a little sex on the side
Ina’s Pringles – with “really good” vanilla flavor….how bad can that be?
Rachael’s Pringles – with EVOO, that’s extra, virgin olive oil of course
i think this comes from a place where they also have green tea flavored kitkat and cucumber flavored 7up. eeyuck!
I accidentally ate seaweed-flavored Lay’s potato chips during a recent vacation to Thailand. The bag looks exactly like the sour cream and onion bag here in the USA, so I bought them by mistake. I actually ended up liking them a lot, so much that I bought a few bags to take home.
The 7-11s in that country are a veritable treasure trove of bizarre snack foods. I had a lot of fun stopping in every day and picking out something weird to try.
Gotta be honest, I’d totally try seaweed flavored pringles. Mmm nori.
My partner is a filipina. I have seen her buy all these flavors of chips in different brands.
