Not making a value judgment, just raising the cry. Ads in and of themselves aren't bad so long as everyone knows what they are.

well yeah, but they're also not 'proper' potato chips. it's a trade off, i guess

Pringles are far superior to regular potato chips though, so it's less of a "trade off" and more of a "win win" situation

Well I mean they may of cut down the flavor, or are we just binging on flavor everywhere?

Would have to compare the actual weights offered by buy weight you will always get more potato in other brands.

Maltodextrin is a plant derived carb that’s used to thicken foods. It’s not a sugar. Also, Original Pringles, at least the in the US, don’t have citric acid.

Also worth noting, the reason Pringles have emulsifiers and thickeners is because the potatoes are mashed up and poured into a little mould. They need to be thickened and well mixed so they stay together when fried.

There isn’t anything too crazy in there. I’ve used these ingredients at home. They’re easy to get and can come from plants.

Not saying they are bad, just saying you arn't getting as much potato due the the amount of binders and flours.

You're right, but people also complain there is so much "air" in the bags that they are basically half filled.
