In fact, we’re fully willing to bet that if there were a flavor called “Grandpa’s Old Nails,” the can would be empty before I got home from the grocery store. Just delicious potato crisps that come in enough good flavors to give Baskin-Robbins a run for its money. Well, we confirmed that there’s no actual magic involved. How does a chip that isn’t even a chip that’s made with flavors forged in a lab (for real, we got a peek at how they’re made and it's mad science) get so much right? Hell, even the cheeseburger flavor is a thing of snackable beauty. True, the Original and Cheddar are standouts, but like Lays, Pringles messes with a ton of different flavors and gets most of them right.
In sitting down with 19 cans, we noticed it was hard to find any flavor we disliked. Pringles makes dozens and dozens of flavors. Plus, you get to rip it apart with your hands. Whether you’re getting it in the white or dark variety, Big Kat or mini, there is no candy so adept at taking the mundane and transforming it into something amazing as the Kit Kat. This is a whole that completely transcends its parts, with little sugar crystals dancing on your tongue and the thick walls of chocolate that make it easy to break the four pieces apart melting the minute it hits your mouth, tying the whole thing together. Must be some sort of magical alchemy, because when that plain ol’ chocolate hits those milquetoast layers of cookie wafers, something clicks, and clicks loudly. And the milk chocolate is good and all, though it’s no different than the version you'd get on most candy bars. Wafers are the bane of most shelves, the treats that are doomed to the bottom of many a grandma’s cookie jar.
Because, frankly, this should not be as good as it is. Though we appreciate international versions like green tea, vinegar, and corn in the international market, let’s focus on the OG version.
