At the end of last year, Pringles introduced a fun Pickle Rick flavor for Rick and Morty fans and this collection of limited-edition snacks is now being expanded with two new varieties—Honey Mustard Morty and Look at Me! I'm Cheddar & Sour Cream. Like the original Pickle Rick flavor, these new limited-edition products lean into the "show's cosmic absurdity" and feature colorful packaging designs adorned with characters from the animated series.
Sweet and tangy Honey Mustard Morty is described as a flavor that perfectly captures Morty Smith's well-mannered and blissfully ignorant nature, and Look at Me! I'm Cheddar & Sour Cream taps into the essence of the tall blue character, Mr. Meeseeks. The new limited-edition Pringles snacks are sure to be just as much of a hit with fans who are looking for fun ways to engage with the franchise.
