Pringles Tortillas: The Next Doritos?

Updated on 3/11/2014 at 5:13 PM

Pringles recently released corn tortilla chips ($2) in Southwestern Ranch, Truly Original, and Nacho Cheese — and being nostalgic kids of the '90s, curious questions swirled through our heads. Could Pringles re-create the satisfyingly crispy-thin texture of its potato chips in corn-chip form? Would the flavors taste Doritos-like in nature? Most importantly, would we want to snack on these again? Pringles fans chomped away to give you an honest review of the three new flavors.

Pringles Tortillas Southwestern Ranch

Lovers of sour cream and onion, meet your new favorite chip, full of bold ranch flavor. Those who loved this chip applauded the light texture, zingy flavor, and begged for "some guac for these babies!" Others felt overwhelmed by the sharp, oniony flavor and complained of the saltiness.

Pringles Tortillas Truly Original

This chip received mixed reviews. A few tasters adored the blended textures of the Pringle and the tortilla chip, describing it as a little grainy from the corn, but thin and crispy. Some craved a thicker, crunchier tortilla chip and admitted they would likely choose other tortilla chips over this one. Most described the flavor as boring, bland, and not special enough to buy.

★★★☆☆

Pringles Tortillas Nacho Cheese

Are you the type who loves Doritos Nacho Cheese and/or the dip you'll find at ballparks and movie theaters? Then this chip may be for you. Some compared it to a lightened-up Doritos chip in a good, "less likely to make you feel gross after 100 of them" kind of way. These chips are cheesy and salty, but not overly so. A few tasters couldn't keep popping these chips and expressed repulsion at the fake cheese flavor.
