The taste of salt and food additives never was that great. |

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. |

Pizza flavor one was the only one worth eating back in the day but I haven't eaten them in years. |

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 buy something else instead. In OP's case, I can buy an actual pizza for the price of a pringles can. |

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. |

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. |

Isn't a market economy glorious that way? It's better than petitioning the government to update their 5-year plan on crisp flavours. |

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. |

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 |

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 😂😭 |

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. |

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. |

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. |
