    Anytime I go to buy pringles in my local supermarket, all the bright green ones are gone while theres a full shelf of the blue, red, purple, and dark green ones. Is it generally agreed that they are the nicest ones? They used to be my favourite but I've grown to like the texas bbq ones more! So which do you like?

    Red flavour.

    Tastes like actual real red. Delicious.

    Sour cream and onion, they are the only ones I like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 404 ✭✭frank reynolds


    eh, as far as im concerned the LIGHT version of the sour cream and onion are WAAAY nicer. sc&o are obv the best flavour, but the light ones have WAAAY more of the powdery stuff on the back of them, so i'd always go for them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Those Wasabi ones. Quite tasty.

    Like them all though except the red ones. What the fuck is the point of those Ready Salted type crisp flavours.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 104 ✭✭ha ha hello


    I'm guessing that sour cream and onion are going to run away with this poll, which makes me wonder why the supermarkets don't stock 2 or 3 times as much of them as the others!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,644 ✭✭✭cml387


    Pringles are an abomination unto the lord.

    Proper manly crisps like Kettle Chips are where it's at, where the crunch causes windows to rattle. Away wi' your American ersatz muck.

    Salt and vinegar.
    The green ones are horrible and the red ones taste of nothing. I can never understand why they're so popular.

    I've never tried the spicy ones though. I generally like spicy stuff so might give them a go some time.

    This was the hardest question I have ever been asked. Was so torn between Original and Salt and Vinegar :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,239 ✭✭✭✭KeithAFC


    Very addictive stuff...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 104 ✭✭ha ha hello


    Monosodium glutamate, just can't get enough of it!

    Once you pop, there are physiological reasons related to monosodium glutamate making it statistically more likely that you are going to consume more pringles than you would have anticipated prior to "popping"!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 118 ✭✭Gilldog


    whatever happened to Paprika flavoured pringles...they were the best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    People actually eat the 'red' ones?

    they should really sell MSG in tubs or something so we could sprinkle it on vegetables and lentils and other stuff that tastes like muck but is good for us - obesity problem sorted!

    Cheese and onion while munching down a caramello bar.

    In Thailand you can get seaweed and satay flavours. They're all right I guess.

    Pringles aren't really what they used to be for me at least. I used to love the old sour cream and onion flavour from years ago where you could actually see the flavouring on them. They're just too bland now. I used to love the "Light" ones too, they came in a white tube.

    Out of the current selection I would go for original flavour (red tube) and eat them with a houmous or salsa dip.

    Sour Cream and Onion. Like crack cocaine it is :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,357 ✭✭✭✭leahyl


    Once you pop yoooouuuu can't stop - it's so true, it's so true...

    To answer your question - sour cream and oninon are to die for!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,028 ✭✭✭TheMilkyPirate


    Texas bbq rule the world, But while on a holiday in spain this year they had paprika which were probably the nicest crisps i've ever ate.

    EDIT: Them seaweed pringles look fucking disgcusting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 104 ✭✭ha ha hello


    I can remember a curry flavour from about 2004.. weren't the nicest too be honest! Also remember paprika from around the same time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭John Doe1


    Prawn cocktail, end thread

    I used to be addicted to the green ones when they first came out about 17 odd year ago. Did they change the flavour, or was it me, that had changed?


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 6,485 Mod ✭✭✭✭silvervixen84


    It used to be sour cream & onion for years, but lately I'm loving texas bbq


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 140 ✭✭PeefsPixie


    Used to be Sour Cream & Onion but its Salt & Vinegar all the way now... NOM


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Seems to be a lot of lapsed SCAO lovers here.

    I expect word to get back to Pringle Inc and a relaunch for Hertfordshire Clotted Summer Cream and Crunchy Sussex Onion to be mooted.

    Salt and vinegar bloody addictive ,just get the small tube the odd time because if i get the full size tube i'll end up munching the lot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44,501 ✭✭✭✭Deki


    I live well within a hundred miles of the factory and I can't get that many flavors. Have cheese. onion& sour cream. Barbeque, plain and Pizza (pizza is yuck) I think I need to write a few letters. :(;):D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 655 ✭✭✭splendid101


    The Salt n' Vinegar ones made of rice were my favourite. Seem to be gone now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,076 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    The Paprika ones were sold here for a while: very nice, but haven't seen them recently. They're still on the list, as are Lime & Chilli and Curry, which I haven't seen around either. I wish they'd bring the Jalapeño flavour over from the USA - had some over there, very nice indeed.

    The prices charged in shops for Pringles are ridiculous, though. The likes of Spar are just gouging their late night customers, while Tesco regularly seem to have them at half price for no particular reason. Then there are the clones ... Spar's are OK, but those Tayto Toobs things are only acceptable if I'm very hungry and they're very cheap. :cool:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I like the original and the cheese one but my favourite one has to be the sour cream and onion one!

    It's disgraceful. One of those proper first world problems. I still can't get over it...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I like the Original ones!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,367 ✭✭✭✭watna


    Damn - I'm craving pringles now. Can I be bothered going to the supermarket though?

    Sour cream and onion are the best flavour. Original are also good but only if you put them in a cheese sandwich and squish them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    BBQ all the way. Must try the prawn cocktail ones though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭boomkatalog


    I miss the curry ones! My god they were good, proper mouthgasm material there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 207 ✭✭tribalwings


    I'm very surprised no1 mentioned the Hot & Spicy. I haven't seen them in ages, they were tasty. Usually go for BBQ in their place


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,515 ✭✭✭✭admiralofthefleet


    the old sour cream and onion, not the new ones; they're shite


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,571 ✭✭✭Aoifey!


    Salt and vinegar all the way. The spicy ones or the sour cream and onion aren't too bad either. Original are edible, but just...meh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 662 ✭✭✭fran oconnor


    Sour Cream are sh!t now, they used to be great years ago, but they changed the taste for the bad..

    You can actually buy bags of it in any of the Asian stores if you're so inclined.
