Pringles Sizzl'N Spicy BBQ, 180g

Product Information

This may be one of the reasons why Pringles has at least 162 flavors, if not more. While Pringles often has faced criticism for its taste, it does makes a great “blank slate” edible surface to coat every flavor imaginable on. Pringles is throwing almost everything it can think of in terms of flavors on its crisps, from Chili Cheese to Blueberry flavor. Pringles were originally developed by consumer goods giant Proctor & Gamble in 1967. The iconic shape of the crisps and the tubes in which they are sold was developed by Frederic Baur, a food storage technician and organic chemist. Baur was so fond of his invention that he requested that some of his ashes be placed in a Pringles tube and buried, a request with which his children duly complied. Yeast Extract– Yeast is not derived from plants, but neither does it come from animals as it is a fungus, so it is vegan-friendly

Later commercial marketing for Pringles focused more on depicting Pringles as fun and showing off its various types and spin-off products. “Once you pop, the fun doesn’t stop” and “Once you pop, you can’t stop” began to become popular slogans for Pringles around the 1990s, as the brand began to try to give off a more “fun” vibe for Pringles. Around the 1990s Pringles began to seem a bit more health-conscious, and advertisements showing some of Pringle’s variants to be low in fat content were aired. It could have something to do with the taste of Pringles, its creators always struggled to get it right. Fred Baur, the initial inventor for Pringles, spent 2 years making just the shape of the potato crisps and designing for the tube container of Pringles. Baur tried to get the flavor of Pringles to be suitable, but as the project dragged on, he was reassigned to other tasks as Pringles languished for years. Pringles Rice are similar to the originals but, as the name suggests, they contain rice (or rice flour) as the main ingredient. They still include dehydrated potatoes too, but the use of rice flour offers a slightly different consistency to the crisp.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Based on the information currently available and the recipes utilised at the time of writing, the following Pringles flavours are vegan friendly: Perhaps looking to make a dent in the dominance of Doritos in the tortilla chips market, these corn flour-based offerings from Pringles are proving very popular with consumers. And, thankfully, for vegans, the Pringles Tortilla Original flavour is vegan friendly!

Unfortunately, the Spicy Chilli, Nacho Cheese and Sour Cream Tortilla Chips all contain ingredients derived from milk, so they are no good for those following a plant-based diet.

Pringles Sizzl'n

The machine used to cook Pringles was developed by Gene Wolfe, a mechanical engineer and an author known for his fantasy and science fiction novels. Wolf stated he did not invent the machine, he developed it, stating it was a German man whose name he had forgotten. Wolf said this man had invented the basic idea of how to make the potato dough, pressing it between two forms, more or less as in a wrap-around.

But why does Pringles have such a massive amount of flavors? While products such as Starburst candy have many flavors, Pringles has an outstanding 162, at minimum. It seems like there is always “yet another Pringles” flavor, we were crying making the list in the above section, it almost seems like some sort of cruel joke. Of course, others may think it’s genius to have all these flavors. Still, why does Pringles have so many flavors in the first place? While Baur was able to create the shape and also invent the can for what would become Pringles, he struggled to perfect the taste. Try as he might, he could not get Pringles to taste good enough. Eventually, Baur was given a new assignment for a different product. In the mid-1960s, another researcher for P&G, named Alexander Liepa, from Montgomery, Ohio, restarted the work of Fred Baur and succeeded in improving the chip taste enough to take the product to market. The US Food and Drug Administration ruled in 1975 that Pringles could only use the word “chip” in their product name within the following phrase: “potato chips made from dried potatoes”. Rather than do this, the company began referring to Pringles as potato “crisps” rather than potato chips. However, this caused issues in the United Kingdom where the term potato crisp is thought to be the same as the American view of what is a potato chip.

Gene Wolfe was in the engineering development division and was tasked with the cooking portion of the mass production equipment used to make Pringles. Wolf stated that the man in the team responsible for the can filling part of the process nearly went crazy due to being asked to find new ways to accommodate an ever increases production rate. Len Hooper was the man responsible for developing the equipment for the dough making/dough rolling portion of the process of making Pringles. A man named Fred Baur, an organic chemist was enlisted by Procter & Gamble to create a new type of chip that could solve the aforementioned customer complaints. Fred Baur spent around 2 years engineering saddle-shaped chips from fried dough and invented a new tubular can design to be used with the chips as a storage container. Supercomputers were used to ensure that the chips were able to fit into the tubular aluminum-coated can and were aerodynamic enough to keep the chips in place to avoid breakage.
