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.
Yeah that's the flavor I remembered
my favorite was these they punched you in the face with pizza
Pizza flavor one was the only one worth eating back in the day but I haven't eaten them in years.
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.
Pringles aren’t an essential good. You can just stop buying them.
I can buy something else instead. In OP's case, I can buy an actual pizza for the price of a pringles can.
We can stop buying it.
I haven't bought pringles in years along with many other products that fell victim to shrinkflation/enshittification.
I mean, we're not buying pizza pringles anymore.
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
Don't besmirch sausages like that!
Upvoted for 'besmirch'
Maybe it's the cheap mystery-meat sausage of chips.
In terms of reconstituted potato-style chips, Munchos and Pop Chips are worlds better, IMO.
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.
Munchos are okay for a bit. Eat too many and you get overwhelmed with salt and oil. I guess that’s a feature or something.
For sure.
Once in a while scratches that itch. Otherwise I prefer potatoes in the air-fryer.
Variety is the spice of life.

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.
The bbq ones still got it. Only ones I buy now. Rest got super basic and bland.
Maybe you have Covid.
GOOD recommend! Next time, I try 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 😂😭
That's indeed s weird memory, and quite shitty from your family tbh.
But thanks for sharing
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.
Dang that's sad. I used to really love these as a kid.
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.
Good crisp is MVP right now if you can get them
My Costco has those. Good to hear they're really good because they were over twice the price of the mainstream stuff.
I was still side-eyeing them because Costco doesn't generally carry anything offbrand that's not good AF. But it didn't pass the wallet test. I'll have to see if I can find some single cans.
My local co-op has them, not for double the price though, so maybe shop around. However I will say they're much better, like what I remember pringles being.
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.
Trying em right now, so much better
Pringles once had flavour? In comparison to other brands, even the home brands from the discounters, Pringles are boringly flavourless.
Reese's too went way down in quality.
It's the enshitification, along with everything else.
Release day
All pringels are shitty. All of them are disgusting.
So when did Pizza Pringels get disgusting, at conception.
Day 1?
They used to have Onion flavour too, not anymore. Now they have shour cream with Onion or something like that.
Hello Mr. Connery
These pringles are no longer pizza-licious. The guy from that commercial would be so disappointed https://youtu.be/V0cesD51jTg
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.
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
When did Pringles get pizza?
Like 20 years ago?
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).
Yeah, just enjoyed some warheads followed by some Carolina reaper cheese later in the day, trust, I've got the full range
Uh, those sound like things that are intensely flavorful, so maybe not the best example to show you still have functioning taste.
Lmao this feels like hypochondria but on my behalf, I'm tasting things fine, thank you for your concern
Something is off if you ever thought pringles were flavorful.
K
They used to be so seasoned I couldn't finish a short can
Try the stacked chips from Aldi or Lidl. Much better.
I'll try.
Are we pretending that Pringles had flavour?
They've definitely cut back on flavor this past year. Not just on pizza flavor. I stopped buying any of them because they're not worth it any more. Bunch of extra calories for no taste? They can fuck off and die.
Haven't had em for like 4 years but yeah I taste the difference
Don't eat this filth.
According to the FDA, the agency "determined that the facility was operating under insanitary conditions, including the presence of rodent excreta, rodent urine, and bird droppings in areas where medical devices, drugs, human food, pet food, and cosmetic products were held."
Enjoy crunching on those Pringles!

Did you know fruits and vegetables grow out of the ground, surrounded by insects and varmint, who so happen to shit.
Ever see fly shit? Probably not, but it certainly adds up if untreated.
Well this was mainly just me fucking with the guy as a joke but if you read that article nah, they had rat shit and piss around human food and medicine.
Most places do not have that going on. And the FDA allows for a lot of wiggle room about bugs and stuff being in food I already know there can be maggots and all kinds of stuff legally in out food, at certain amounts.
But if even the FDA says its so bad it should be recalled man it was probably pretty bad because they aren't the best in the world with standards and I say that as someone who eats the food they say is ok.
And there's an acceptable amount of roaches that can be in peanut products, what's your point?
For sure and maggots in pasta sauce and all kinds of other fun stuff. You can't take stuff like that out completely in mass produced food.
Although, that was pretty bad for them to have issued a recall the FDA usually isn't too strict so it was probably pretty bad.
But I was just making a joke because you were like "damn why don't these taste the same" and its like, boom rat shit. I know it wasn't in the chips but it was just funny to me.
when i was little i used to actually enjoy these dont think the flavor itself changed but i just find it less appealing now and kinda bland
Imo they were never any good. You might just be an adult now.
I'm going to assume the vast majority of the comments are going be along the lines of "they've always been shitty". How old were you when you thought they were good?
I can't remember the last time I've had Pringles brand potato chips as we call them in the good ole USofA. I think in other countries they're called CRISPRs or Jollysnots or something?
Can't say I've had the pizza flavor. A few weeks ago I nearly gave into temptation as I was going down THAT isle in the grocery store and I saw some new to me flavors along the lines of loaded baked potato and loaded nachos. Sounded great in theory, and I was probably very hungry at the time, but I passed knowing they almost certainly taste ... lame at best.
There was a time in my life when I liked some of the basic flavors like BBQ, but I feel like the shittification (which is different from enshittification) happened a long time ago, perhaps even before you were born.
stop eating garbage.
No.
ok jeffrey
Harsh but true.
I like baked potatoes (Mitch Hedburg)
The taste of salt and food additives never was that great.
