He’s a snapping turtle now.
Holy shit I can’t unsee it
After they raised the price to 3€ during inflation I never bought that product again. Also !buyeuropean@feddit.uk !

Shrinkflation also, you can see me often taking an item, looking how many grams and then throwing it back into the freezer full speed.
No one has said anything so far.
I know it’s not what you mean, but I enjoy the mental image that you’re carrying pringles to the freezer aisle just to throw them into the freezer as hard as you can.
Now I know taste is subjective, but I consider all stacked chips garbage, and as such I always thought of Pringles as too expensive. I dislike the texture and the base taste is subpar compared to real chips. The flavoring cannot save that mess.
The whole product seems like some cheap copy of a real product for poor people or for bad times. the only thing premium about them is the marketing.
An example of flat design I suppose. It it preferred because it lets us download our Pringles faster.
It’s preferred because it makes it cheaper for the company to make different variants of the Pringles man. For example, Pringles man with gaming headset, sombrero, or whatever. No need to pay for expensive artists.
The chemo took its toll but the insurance covered a fake mustache.
it’s just drawn on with a sharpie
New Pringles are a perfect example of enshittification. Different shape (goodbye hyperbolic paraboloid), and now they are so small I cannot even jam my hand inside the tube and get it stuck… Some even come in regular chip packets now so why even bother.
Wait, they changed the shape? When??? Only Pringles product I’ve had in like the past 6 months is those gross packing peanut things…
They moved production to Malaysia back in 2016 and they weren’t able (or just didn’t care to try) to make them in the same way anymore. They are just slightly curved now, not the old “saddle” shape they used to be.
It’s also why the flavour is different too.
That would explain some things. The wife got those circus peanut things and they tasted like hot garbage.
Edit: This crap… The sour cream and cheddar specifically. Tasted like I was actually poisoning myself.
Wow those look absolutely fucking hideous. Cannot imagine why people aren’t buying them…
The wife picked them up, tried one, had me try one, then they went in the trash. The texture is weird, not anything you’d expect at all and the flavor was disgusting. The only worse thing I’ve tried was those Old El Paso Fiesta Twist things. They were so bad I wrote the company… The churro ones taste like old cardboard that’s been sitting on a shelf and the taco ones taste like someone farted into your mouth after eating tacos.
taste like someone farted into your mouth after eating tacos.
Great description haha. Did they ever reply to your feedback?
They did, some generic boiler plate like “We’re so sorry! We’ve sent your feedback to our team!” I sincerely hope they did and some dude got to read that. I honestly don’t know how those made it past the taste testing phase…
The wife
2nd time. Yuck.
New look, same crunch!
old age and corporate greed will do that to a chip.
I wonder when he’s going to shave off the sides of his now black mustache
