Pringles Select Crisps and other crisps
Pringles Select
Has anyone seen these? They were £1 for a 150g bag (introductory offer) in Tesco ![]() Seem slightly posher than normal Pringles (wasnt there also Pringles Gourmet?) I bought the Sea Salt and Balsamic Vinegar ones, they also had Thai Sweet Chilli, Italian Cheese With a Hint of Garlic, and Seczhuan Spices (something like that). I wondered if anyone had them and if theyre that different from normal Pringles. |

Thanks
![]() I also saw some Tyrrell's Potato Crisps (they sound like Kettle Chips). Kettle Chips are good but the plain ones have an oily aftertaste. |

Kettle Chips are at least better than Walkers Carpet Slices
But buy anyone own brand "Finest/The Best" crisps (or some M&S handcooked ones) and theyre similar to Kettle Chips TBH, Tesco and Morrissons ones have nice crunch

We usually get Sensations purely because ASDA have a 4 for £3 offer on them.

I think Kettle Chips are a victim of their own success now. Product has went downhill, more air in the bags than crisps, etc. Get any own brand version from a supermarket and you'll find they are better now!

I tried the Szechuan Spices one the other day, they were nice but very garlicky, could still taste them the next day.

Yes it is shocking.
I was watching TV and saw someone set fire to a Pringle to demonstrate how much fat they contained. It burnt like an oiled wick! |

And I dont like crisps trying to pretend they are something they're not...sea salt and balsamic vinigar
I generally agree with that, although I do like the Caramelised Onion & Sweet Balsamic Vinegar flavour

I've seen a persons mouth bleed from Kettle Chips they are so crunchy. Honestly. One comedian I saw, either Michael McIntyre or Jack Dee (I'm leaning towards Jack Dee but not 100% sure) described them right, they are so crunchy its like chewing on Shrapnel. |

I had Kettle Chips Sea Salt and Balsamic Vinegar the other day, and wierdly the crisps tasted stale, even though they were well within their use by date
![]() Tyrell's (Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar) had lovely crunch but not much real flavour. The crisps themselves tasted natural, the flavour didnt, Give me sea salt any day ![]() Very disappointed in Pringles Select Made with "dehydrated potatoes" (!) they look (and taste) different from real Pringles and the sweetness of the balsamic vinegar ![]() Crap. Not impressed. Kettle Chips version of Cheese and Onion tasted good but it left some powdery crap on my hands ![]() 150 cal in 1oz of Pringles Select?! Yikes, I had the whole pack (150g)

You got me there. I think there seems to be more air in the bag than crisps though. Since the bag is sold by weight, more air could also add up to 40g = less crisps.
