Pringles - only USA ones please!


Epiphanic lineup!, originally uploaded by Camemberu.

Hallelujah, I finally found some "Made in USA" Pringles chips - right here in my neighbourhood Cold Storage! In recent years, all the ones I saw were the awful "Made for ASEAN market" variety manufactured (no doubt cheaply) in Philippines or Malaysia. Those taste like salted paper mâché - nothing like the real deal! Turned me off Pringles for a long time. Now these US-made babies taste much better, although they're a lot lighter and more delicate than I remember. Well, maybe they adjusted the formula a bit - these chips are now lauded as trans-fat free.



Look for the "Product of U.S.A" mark when you buy. Maybe I haven't been shopping in the right places much - I heard from NinjaHelloKitty that US versions are also available in Carrefour and Jasons.



This special six-can-pack only costs S$7.95 , which works out to be only S$1.33 per canister! Two flavours of Regular, two of Sour Cream and Onion (my favourite still), one Spicy Guacamole and one Loaded Baked Potato. Perfect for the holiday season!

  2. Haha yeah...I really wonder about their sales figures. Must have plummeted since the Asian market ones replaced the US ones!

  5. I saw some US made pringles again in Cold Storage, but no family Pack and some extreme flavours.
    Why are they selling sub-standard product in ASEAN markets otherwise..
    Pls do update if you know of a place to get US made pringles regularly.

  6. I heard they're available in Carrefour and Jasons. But haven't gone there in a while. Will check. Maybe we should call the distributor!
