    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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).
