Buffalo Wild Wings fans who can't get enough of iconic sauces like Parmesan Garlic, Medium Buffalo or Asian Zing now have a new way to savor them, thanks to the new Pringles x Buffalo Wild Wings crisps collection. This collaboration is Pringles' first partnership with a national restaurant brand in more than five years, and it's dropping in advance of football season so that fans have plenty of time to stock up for watch parties and tailgates.
Pringles x Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic is savory and tangy with a touch of citrus that mingles with aged parmesan, roasted garlic, Italian herbs and slight red spice. Tanginess is the zesty flavor sensation that's carried through to the collab's two other flavors, Pringles x Buffalo Wild Wings Medium Buffalo and Pringles x Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing. True to the experience Pringles snackers have come to know, individual crisps can be savored on their own or stacked to unlock new flavor combinations.
