Are You Ready For White Chocolate Pringles?
December 6, 2013
This product serves as a simpler sequel to last holiday season’s White Chocolate Peppermint Pringles. White chocolate’s fan base is pretty small, as compared to the humongous number of people who swear by the darker varieties, considered as "real chocolate."
Kellogg's second attempt with Pringles is actually worth mentioning, considering how the prior white chocolate experiment didn’t pan out very well. "Imagine mouthwash gone bad, and then put on a potato chip," says the Huffington Post. Taste testers at Today.com claimed that such chips were “unanimously despised, with one staffer comparing it to a Pringle with ‘a thin layer of toothpaste on it.’"
Kellogg continues to stand their ground. "Pringles limited-edition holiday flavors have proved to be a great way to put a unique twist on holiday gatherings and parties—so we decided to bring them back this year," the company claims.
I hate to state the obvious but it’s not the chocolate that ticked off reviewers of last season’s Pringles, it’s the peppermint. This holiday season, it’s pure White Chocolate Pringles, sans the irking mintiness. Below are some of the reviews:
"When I popped one into my mouth, I did taste a semisweet white chocolate creaminess. But did they taste EXACTLY like white chocolate? No, they did not."
"… These just felt sort of like—well, white chocolate powder on a Pringle. Like … a mistake. Like an unfinished canvas where other flavors should have been added on top—but weren't."
"Like the White Chocolate Peppermint Pringles from last year, I will not be eating these again."
Such verdicts are scaring off other curious consumers. Foodrepublic.com even has a post with the headline: "I Hate You, White Chocolate-Flavored Pringles."
Come on, someone must have something good to say. How about you? Have you had a chance to taste this time-limited treat? What’s your take on it? Leave some comments below!
