Snackers have a growing appetite for smoky flavors and the new Pringles Smoky collection was created to deliver rich, savory depth that adds a satisfying, fire-kissed twist to familiar flavors. This new lineup includes all-new varieties like Pringles Smoky Bacon with notes of hickory smoke, Pringles Smoky Cheddar with the smokiness of applewood, and tangy-sweet Pringles Smoky Mesquite BBQ.
To launch the Pringles Smoky collection, Pringles is teaming up with Chef Calvin Eng, chef and owner of Cantonese-American restaurant Bonnie's, to serve up a unique dish in September. The Pringles Smoky Mesquite BBQ Bok Gop features crispy whole squab marinated with the flavors of Pringles Smoky Mesquite BBQ crisps and five spice salt, and garnished with crisps. The dish will be available for a limited time at Bonnie's this fall, offering an exclusive first taste of the new crisps.
