Pringles Releases New Snack: Pringles Mingles

Close your eyes and think of Pringles. You’re probably imagining that simple arched potato chip inside a cylinder can, aren’t you? Well, Pringles wants you to re-think that notion, because it’s dropping an all-new snack that it calls “out of this world” and “out of the can.” 

On Monday, Pringles announced the addition of Pringles Mingles to its lineup, which it described as “a puffy, irresistibly delicious, and shareable snacking experience unlike one you’ve ever had from Pringles.” 

The new snack comes in bite-size, bowtie-style puffs, which are inspired by Mr. P’s signature look. It includes three flavors, Cheddar & Sour Cream, White Cheddar and Ranch, and Dill Pickle & Ranch.

As the brand explained, the Cheddar flavor comes with “hints of buttery cheddar cheese seamlessly blend with creamy, tangy sour cream notes,” while its White Cheddar & Ranch flavor includes “harp, aged white cheddar cheese flavor meets zippy buttermilk and herb ranch notes.” And, its Dill Pickle flavor comes with “zesty dill pickle mingles with buttermilk and herbaceous ranch notes.”

“Our iconic Pringles can is part of our identity — and it’s not going anywhere — but we’re always looking for new ways to innovate and satisfy our fans’ latest cravings,” Mauricio Jenkins, the U.S. marketing lead for Pringles, shared in a statement. “This puffy, airy snack not only gives fans a new way to experience Pringles, but its easy-to-share packaging creates a new way to enjoy their favorite snack with friends and family, whether  munching at home for movie night, at a party, or on the go.”

Pringles Mingles will hit grocery store shelves across the country this October. Until then, you can enjoy all the Pringles flavors in a can, of which there are 25 distinct flavors in the U.S. and even more abroad. But, as Pringles explains on its website, “when combined, you can make 318,000 unique flavor stacks.” So go ahead, collect some cans, have a little science experiment, and make a flavor all your own. At least until you can get your hands on the puffs and start making some more flavor cominations then too.
