The new ramen-flavored Pringles have college students celebrating its release.
This tasty new flavor mashup blends the love that cash-strapped youth have for inexpensive noodle soups and junk food. Few college dorms will have neither Pringles or ramen stashed away somewhere, so combining these two products makes for a natural, yet surprising combination.
For this limited-edition flavor, Pringles have teamed up with 'Nissen Top Ramen' to produce an authentic, salty, chicken-flavored chip. The chips have a taste similar to the seasoning used in packages of instant ramen with a more noodly flavor and full of umami as well.
These ramen-flavored Pringles are available at 'Dollar General' stores for a limited time, so fans looking to indulge in the ultimate junk food combo will have to move quickly.
