At the end of last year, [Pringles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-holtens-and-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pringles-chips) are sure to be just as much of a hit with fans who are looking for fun ways to engage with the franchise.
