In the world of Halo, the moa is a creature that looks like an ostrich and [Pringles' limited-edition Wavy Moa Burger crisps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pringles-chip-flavors) give gamers the chance to experience what this bird native to the Halo planet Reach tastes like. Full of flavor from garlic, sweet ginger, and savory beef, the [bold and crunchy chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pringles-flame-grilled-steak) also boast heat from red pepper and chili pepper.

As many Halo fans have spent time wondering what a Moa Burger might taste like, this [collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doom-burger) promises to provide a definitive answer. With its big fan base, Halo is helping to solve one of the mysteries surrounding the Moa, the flightless bird-like creature with legs, wings and scales from the neck up and a lizard-like head, which resembles the now-extinct bird from New Zealand with the same name.
