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.

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 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.

Few years back, I noticed this too. They're, like, edible or whatever, but so bland tasting nowadays.

Maybe you have Covid.

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 😂😭

pretty much all name brand chips have been getting noticeably shittier every year for the past decade

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

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.

Dang that's sad. I used to really love these as a kid.

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

since they introduced the additional flavour subscription

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.

Good crisp is MVP right now if you can get them

Reese's too went way down in quality.

All pringels are shitty. All of them are disgusting.

So when did Pizza Pringels get disgusting, at conception.

Release day

It's the enshitification, along with everything else.

They used to have Onion flavour too, not anymore. Now they have shour cream with Onion or something like that.

ah a snack for people who like the idea of pizza, but have never had pizza and cannot stomach the thought of eating real pizza.

These pringles are no longer pizza-licious. The guy from that commercial would be so disappointed https://youtu.be/V0cesD51jTg

When did Pringles get pizza?

January 25th, 2009

I remember it like it was yesterday, the day that Pringles made the announcement.

There were riots in the streets, but ultimately they held no teeth, all noise and no action.

And so it has remained ever since

Does everything else taste normal to you? Just asking on the outside chance covid or something has impacted your sense of smell and taste (happened recently to a parent).
