    don’t let 'em gaslight ya, in 2008 they did some rework on fat and salt, around 2010 they screwed with a lot of different flavors. They used to have a pretty heavy tomato+herb taste, but it’s been quite a while.

          Its bloody annoying when you point how buying a luxury good is bad in so many ways and some idiot is like “but what am I gunna do? Not buy an xbox? Not pay $70 for a game? Not buy Nestle products?” And im like…yea thats exactly what you do. You should be more disappointed or angry that something you liked got ruined by a corporation. Saying you “need” those things does not absolve you of the damage you’re doing to society.

          Nice point, but I cant get people to agree that maybe killing innocent people is bad. Getting them to boycott pringles? Laughable that youd even suggest people care enough. Its not that I wont do anything about it, its that I cant.

          Isn’t a market economy glorious that way? It’s better than petitioning the government to update their 5-year plan on crisp flavours.

        We can stop buying it.

        I haven’t bought pringles in years along with many other products that fell victim to shrinkflation/enshittification.

    I never understood why people would pick pringles over other chips. The consistency is weird and it’s just questionable stuff pressed into shape. It’s the sausage of chips

        I haven’t had Munchos since high school. Used to love them. But even then, I started to notice the amount of chips in each bag getting less and less.

        It’s like when they started selling “whipped” yogurt for more than regular yogurt, despite it just being regular yogurt plus air.

          Shrinkflation, or something like that I guess.

          Chips are pretty unhealthy, so I try not to eat them much. So for me, less is generally better. Also, Munchos are salty as hell. But that said… gotta have 'em once in a while!

          Pringles might be good for some kind of insulation project, maybe. They’re certainly not fit for human consumption, these days.

    I got no idea but logically i would think ‘corporation want cheaper seasoning but increase price of pringle, make more money by use less money, profit make shareholders happy’ or something dumb like that.

    The first time I had these was probably 1998 while I was at my obese cousins house for a sleep over and that’s all the food they allowed me to have because it was so gross that they didn’t even wanna eat it. Then I fell asleep on the floor and they left me there all night. Very weird memory tied directly to this horrible flavor 😂😭

    Idk what Pringles did to their formula… But I don’t like them anymore.

    The Lays equivalent is wayyyyyy better. Just less flavors to choose from.

    Like 2 years ago, or around that time. I stopped bothering with the pizza one because of this. The other flavors are still loaded with flavor powder. IDK why the pizza one started getting only half-seasoned.

    I get the pepperoni cracker (not pretzel) Combos instead now.

    Did they ever have flavor?
    I remember being disappointed by them as far back as the mid 90s.

    Pringles once had flavour? In comparison to other brands, even the home brands from the discounters, Pringles are boringly flavourless.
