We would eat a whole tube of the stuffing flavor
The hardest part of Thanksgiving is all the cooking and clean-up. But what if you could eliminate those steps—because every single dish in your Thanksgiving meal was actually potato chips? The mad flavor scientists at the Pringle factory have you covered: They just rolled out an entire Thanksgiving dinner in potato chip form. That's right—a tray with Pringles in the following flavors: Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Mac & Cheese, Creamed Corn, Green Bean Casserole, Cranberry Sauce, and Pumpkin Pie.
If that sounds weird, well, our in-house Extra Crispy taste test was even weirder. Our office was the lucky(?) recipient of one of these extremely limited Pringles Thanksgiving feasts, and so, of course, we had to make everyone on staff eat the chips. The general consensus is that the Thanksgiving Pringles are surprisingly accurate. Sometimes too accurate. But there were some favorites and some—you know, less favorites.
Then there were the also-rans. The Mac & Cheese wasn't sufficiently cheesy enough. The Green Bean Casserole was impressive but too weird for a second bite. Cranberry Sauce got mixed reviews—it was pretty spot-on, in taste, but not an enjoyable flavor experience unless you pair it with another chip. The least favorite of the bunch was Creamed Corn, which, as our editor Ryan Grim put it, "flew too close to the sun. It's the weirdest chip I've ever had." But it was so weird that we respect it. A bold weirdness.
Alas for Pringles fans, these flavors are not widely available right now. But hopefully the pilot taste test will encourage Pringles to roll them out for wider distribution.
Mmmmmm, I want to try these :-)
I thought this was a joke, but checking reveals that it’s real. Next question as a worshipper of salty snacks is how to get it - apparently it’s very limited in availability.
We live in amazing times.
Neurotoxins. Which have a cumulative effect on the brain, hitting you when you’re old and maybe not that healthy.
The real foods they are imitating are good for you and will build you and satisfy you.
A month and a half too late. (Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October.)
I’d be more likely to believe the author if Pringles potato chips actually tasted like potato chips instead of potato-flavored card stock.
The leftist company Kelloggs makes Pringles.
Now if they could make brussel sprouts taste like cheesecake or broccoli taste like chocolate, ......
Brussel sprouts and broccoli are delicious.
It will Be THURSDAY! This website is based in US.
I would wager that putting a real dinner beside them and doing a compare test would result in a different assessment...
Mac & Cheese? Superbowl chow perhaps but not Thanksgiving.
Cod, corn, and squashes are traditional.
I think it was just a fun Canadian joke.
You know that if you used “h1”, the word ‘Thursday’ would be even bigger! Better luck next time.
It’s hilarious, but I’m an old fashioned girl. :)
They’ve changed the recipe for that original potato-flavored card stock. It’s not even close to card stock anymore but some sort of starchy no flavored card stock.
Thankfully, we hardly get any flavors here past the bbq and cheesy so I won’t be temped to try the turkey dinner.
If prepared properly, Brussels Sprouts will make you moan with delight.
Millennials perhaps but not for my house!
