Nah Pringles are mid at best. Weak flavor, ok texture, too high price. I dont need any artisanal shit, pretty much anything else is better than Pringles.

Honestly the fact that Pringles don't have an overpowering flavour is partly why I like them
They aren't as addicting but still crunch, that's why.
Hate the uniformity and the texture. The flavor I do usually like. For me there just a step above just awful tasting chips. Like there is F tier chips and just above that are pringles, kinda in their own tier.
As an autistic person I love the uniformity and texture. they're beat out only by baked lays and baked ruffles
Yeah. I'll eat them if they're there, but I wouldn't buy them. You can get better stuff for the same price.
Anyone that thinks that Pringles are the pinnacle of flavour are wasting the true potential of their tongues.
Like I'll eat them, but they're not even the best version of shaped potato crisps (that would be discos)
Pringles are edible but I'd choose many other forms of potato over them given the choice.
Pringles are actually classified as biscuits, not crisps. That's because they do not contain enough potato and contain too many grains.
Realising they're biscuits strangely enough made me appreciate them more because as far as biscuits are concerned, they're great.
Pringles are biscuits, not crisps.
Realise that and your whole view of them changes for the better.
Yeah I liked them. Had some good flavor options. I only bought them in the past when they were on sale for 1,39€ though. Otherwise they are way too expensive. But since they reduced the amount of chips and made them even more expensive I have never and will never buy them again. They can go fuck themselves. I get it if you have to temporarily raise prices because of inflation or because the war affects you in some way but at the same time reducing the amount of chips in them while keeping the same packaging and hoping no one would notice is just an asshole move.
Same (as with many other brands too).
Sadly the amount of quitters isn't nearly equal to the amount of extra gain those fuckers make due to people who are ignorant to their power as a consumer to vote by purchase-decision.
I think most of them just haven't noticed when it happened. Same with other products. You need to be a person that has bought the product some times in the past and the type of person to check how much you actually get (the amount of content) to realize something like that when it happens. Even if they realized at some point or got told by another person it probably doesn't affect a person as much anymore as a person wo saw through that the second it happened since they might think "Well I have been using it the last few weeks/months etc and I was still satisfied"
True. I made the mistake of thinking that everyone is a critical shopper and always aware of the prices/sizes of things. There probably are enough people just buying stuff they need without further analyzation.
Yet they also do fit in my point. The quitters aren't the bigger group and hence quitting was futile (in the sense of exercising your vote by an active choice of purchase versus boycott).
Pringles are just chips shaped potato mash. Change my mind.
Not even potato mash.
They're officially designated as "Biscuits" due to their low potato content
When you honestly try to offend someone and it turns out you in fact still made them look better than they are. Mind changed ...
Hey they're great biscuits
What are they even putting in there that's cheaper than friggin POTATOES?
Corn, Corn Flour, Soybean, Corn Starch and wheat starch
So lots of corn
Pringles are like gelatin sheets that melt-in-your-mouth into a sad version of instant mashed potato flakes.
Walmart has a surprisingly good house-brand of crinkle cut. Aldi has a lot of fine or great or occasionally horrifying chips (try the bratwurst). Utz makes a lot of good chips. Middleswarth, ohh that's the God of chips.
There are so many better potato products that aren't made of pressed potato eyebuds and anuses. There is no excuse for putting up with Pringles.
potato products that aren’t made of pressed potato eyebuds and anuses
I'm not sure what you've been eating exactly, but I think most the Pringles I've eaten have been anus-free.
Not that I'd buy them myself, anus-free or not.
The basic Brets are pretty good, unless I'm confusing them with another brand
Pringles are over priced shit that have nothing to do with potato crisps. Even just regular potato crisps are much cheaper and much better taste. Even better just make your own.
So you got braindamage twice? I'm so sorry for you dude/tte.
Pringle used to be pretty good but now only the original flavour in the UK doesn't have whey in it. Get that shit out of my pringles!
One of my friends is allergic to potatoes pringlesiare the only Kind if potato chips he can eat
Pringles are a nice occasional change of pace from regular potato chips.
Tried some off brand version recently and I swear they were made of salt instead of potatoes.

The self awareness of lemmy users is astoundingly low.
I think that's just people in general given how the past decade has unfolded
Taki and Paquis are where it is at.
