This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I mean, that's a normal size can. But idk
Whether or not you meant it to be, this is an ad.
Fair, oops.
Not making a value judgment, just raising the cry. Ads in and of themselves aren't bad so long as everyone knows what they are.
True, I just thought it was funny. But it is true that they're doing it tovsdvertise
well yeah, but they're also not 'proper' potato chips. it's a trade off, i guess
True they are potato crisps
Pringles are far superior to regular potato chips though, so it's less of a "trade off" and more of a "win win" situation
They cut down on the flavor instead
I was craving pizza flavored pringles but was very dissapointed by the lack of flavor.
What happened? pizza pringles used to be good
covid
I did get covid but I didn't really get any loss of taste for anything else that i've noticed anyways
You got old and lost a bunch of taste buds.
Well I mean they may of cut down the flavor, or are we just binging on flavor everywhere?
That's because it's half empty.
That exact can had been eaten half full because we ate them.

Old Dutch chip Original
POTATOES, VEGETABLE OIL, SALT.
Would have to compare the actual weights offered by buy weight you will always get more potato in other brands.
Maltodextrin is a plant derived carb that’s used to thicken foods. It’s not a sugar. Also, Original Pringles, at least the in the US, don’t have citric acid.
Also worth noting, the reason Pringles have emulsifiers and thickeners is because the potatoes are mashed up and poured into a little mould. They need to be thickened and well mixed so they stay together when fried.
There isn’t anything too crazy in there. I’ve used these ingredients at home. They’re easy to get and can come from plants.
Not saying they are bad, just saying you arn't getting as much potato due the the amount of binders and flours.
You're right, but people also complain there is so much "air" in the bags that they are basically half filled.
I'm still waiting for the promised new can that isn't impossible to recycle...
Fair!
