Everyone's Favorite Canned Snack
Pringles are a great snack for any time of the day, thanks to their wide variety of flavors that satisfy the taste buds. But outside of general favorites like sour cream & onion or BBQ, did you know this chip brand has a bunch of weird, outgoing flavors, too? They're so weird, you'll probably be surprised they're even in chip form! Let's explore some of these today as we show you 10 of the strangest Pringles flavors to ever exist and 10 of the most beloved.
1. Prawn Cocktail Pringles
Imagine the taste of fresh prawns and cocktail sauce...now imagine it while biting into a Pringles chip. That's right, Pringles has this shellfish-flavored chip that might raise a lot of eyebrows, but it's still selling in stores for a reason. There are people (especially in Britain) who really love the taste!
2. Cheeseburger Pringles
Capturing America's favorite iconic dish in chip form, Pringles managed to pack the essence of a cheeseburger, mustard and pickles included, into a single-bited sized snack. Although it was a limited edition flavor, it definitely made a lasting impression on those who managed to get their hands on a can.

3. Sweet Mayo Cheese Pringles
A massive hit in Japan and Korea, two countries who love a good sweet and salty combo, the sweet mayo cheese flavored Pringle is certainly a unique one. Combining the tang of mayonnaise (which isn't for everyone) with the salty-sweetness of cheese, this is one cheese-flavored snack you've definitely never tasted before.
4. White Chocolate Pringles
'Tis the season for peppermint-flavored goodies! While you likely never expected Pringles to jump aboard this train, this limited edition flavor launched way back in 2012, shocking everyone who saw it on the grocery stands. This chip had two large hurdles to overcome: one, convincing everyone that a dessert chip could be good, and two, successfully marketing one of the most polarizing dessert flavors to exist: mint chocolate.
5. Seaweed Pringles
Found in many Asian countries where roasted seaweed is often a delightful snack, Pringles decided to take it up a notch by combining this umami-packed ingredient with their chips. The final product? Seaweed Pringles, a unique snacking experience that's bursting with flavor.
6. Flame Grilled Steak Pringles
If it's possible to get a barbecue flavor done, why not a flame grilled steak one? Easier said than done, Pringles attempted this massive challenge. Unfortunately, it became a flavor that's a hit or miss for people. While some claimed the taste was surprisingly accurate, others called it bland and not "meaty" enough.
7. Pigs In A Blanket Pringles
Launched during the holiday season for a limited time (which occasionally returns!), Pringles threw out another shocker by releasing this pigs in a blanket flavor. Can you imagine this beloved appetizer but in chip form? Surprisingly managing to pack a porky punch, consumers were pleasantly surprised by the taste of these chips.
8. Mozzarella Sticks & Marinara Pringles
No longer sold on the market, this limited edition Pringles flavor was truly remarkable - but in a good or bad way? Attempting to capture the essence of mozzarella sticks and marinara sauce in chip form, it was a unique flavor that caught the attention of many shoppers.

9. King Crab Pringles
Does it get more luxurious than this? With the unusual choice of king crab as a flavor, Pringles tried to bring the taste of the sea to snack time in this bold and unexpected way. While not too much has been said about this flavor online, which means it can't have been that good, it's still admirable to see the company branch out in such daring ways.
10. Pecan Pie Pringles
