Pringles EXTREME: Not so Extreme

By Tavia Rzasa

Adding another flavor to their “EXTREME” list of chips, the Pringle Company has come out with Screamin’ Dill Pickle. At the beginning of its chip spree in October 1968, Pringles only had its original flavor out for sale. Forty-one years and billions of dollars later, Pringles have come out with many new flavors for people who want variety. The Pickle Pringles can is green and black, an adorned with a graphic that suggests pickles spears are shooting at the consumer.

When the Pickle Pringle can is opened, the air in the immediate vicinity is invigorated with the smell of pickles. The Pringle Company certainly nailed the pickle taste. They have the typical Pringle shape and pale yellow color and they crunch just like a regular Pringle.

With their own flavor to them, the Pringles have only 150 calories in an ounce. They also have 10 grams of fat, 110 milligrams of sodium, one gram of protein, 14 grams of carbohydrates and no cholesterol. In each can there is a net weight of 163 grams, and at $1.99 a pop, they’re worth a shot.
