    Tonight, I saw a new limited edition flavour...

    So I took a snaphot of it.

    and then... I had to try it so I bought it (the actual bag on the right there of this snaphot)...
    and...


    My reaction was 'ew' & 'yuk'


    My conclusion is....

    Interesting idea, but in practice... 'Yuck!'..

    What flavours/flavors have you tried and liked or hated?

    That sounds totally yuch. I'm not a risk taker. The most courageous potato chip purchases I''ve made has been pickle flavor which I hated and jalapeno which I love but it hurts to eat them.

    Lays generate a couple of experimental flavors every year. Some are good, some are OK, and some, like Southern Biscuits & Gravy Potato Chips, are terrible.

    I am a big fan of Pringles' original flavoured potato chips. These are heavenly. A few days ago I saw a new flavour, salsa, and it wasn't very good at all.

    As far as "Flavors":

    I like Dill Pickle, Salt and Vinegar, and (of course) Classic BBQ.

    They're from Belgium, and whenever I've been to that country, I've noticed Pringles for sale in flavours we don't get in the UK.

    Miss Vicky's jalapeno-flavoured chips are very good, too.

    I'd probably enjoy the non Pringles one here, to be honest..

    I had Pringles' seaweed (note: not the same as the Japanese wasabi-seaweed) flavour and it was delicious. I even took the initiative to email Pringles urging them to introduce this flavour in the North America but they said no.

    Pic is gone from OP, so no idea what flavor it was.

    The powdered salts they are putting on chips/crisps these days are horrid. The only one I can tolerate is sea salt & vinegar. Every other flavor is gross. I don't eat a lot of chips, but absolutely prefer Pringles over everything else.
