Pringles launched Pringles Dippers, an extra-thick, wavy take on its classic crisp designed specifically for dipping. The cans contain a subtly thicker chip that keeps the familiar Pringles shape while adding a bit more crunch, and the lineup was created with scooping in mind.
The Dippers are offered in three flavors: Original, French Onion and Bacon Cheddar. They use the same ingredients and nutrition facts as classic Pringles, but the texture is slightly heftier and the wave-like curve is tuned for holding dip. Bacon Cheddar brings smoky, baked-cheese notes while French Onion offers a creamy onion balance and Original stays true to the baseline flavor.
