    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.

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

    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.

    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 😂😭

    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.

    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).
