For the first time in snacking history, Pringles has launched a can-less version of their chips in three unique flavors and a new shape called Mingles.
Pringles is undeniably one of the most beloved chip brands in the world with dozens of flavors ranging from the sensible to absolutely crazy. Now, in a truly wild moment, they have designed a line without the brand’s iconic can.
What are the new Pringles Mingles?
In a press release on Monday, Pringles announced the new Mingles variety in three very American-centric flavors. Unlike the traditional Pringles, which come in the legendary cylindrical can, the Mingles variety comes in a more typical chip bag.
The brand also shook up the shape of the chip as they ditched the usual for “crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside for a melt-in-your-mouth tasting experience.”
The first flavor they announced was Cheddar & Sour Cream, which they said contains “hints of buttery cheddar cheese” with “tangy sour cream notes to create a harmonious savory and zesty flavor.”
Another flavor, the Sharp White Cheddar & Ranch, was described: “Sharp, aged white cheddar cheese flavor meets zippy buttermilk and herb ranch notes, creating the perfect balance of cheesiness and tanginess in every munchable bite.”
Last, but certainly not least, was the Dill Pickle & Ranch flavor which undeniably plays on the nation’s love of all things pickle.
“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,” said Mauricio Jenkins, US marketing lead for Pringles. “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.”
Customers are thrilled
It should come as no surprise that Pringles fans are already salivating over the thought of the new Mingles extension.
On Instagram, one person screamed: “Better stay true to Pringle way. Fill that bag all the way up. No air!”
“Yumm. The goldfish are my new favorite thing so I HOPE these are like that!!” a second person said, as a third commented, “oooh i’m excited for these.”
While an exact release date is yet to be revealed, marketing for the Pringles Mingle suggests customers can expect them in the fall.
