Pringles, the brand that has always embraced new and unique chip flavors, is offering up some comfort food amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Their latest flavor, Chicken & Waffles, is a whole meal in one bite.
Chip lovers began spotting the sweet-and-savory item at Dollar General stores.
Instagram user @carbconnoissuer noted that the the flavor is “exclusive” to the wallet-friendly franchise.
The packaging on the orange-yellow can also indicates that the chips won’t be around for long.
If you want to get your hands on these “limited edition” chips, you have to act fast.
The user gave the chips a taste-test and described them as having a “a very faint smell of maple syrup, and they have a very dull chicken flavor to them.”
It seems as though the chip leans heavier into the chicken aspect of the meal, so if you were hoping for a bit of sweetness to kick in, you may be out of luck.
Instagram user @candyhunting revealed the chips are retailing for $1.50.
The Southern brunch specialty might seem like an unlikely flavor, but Pringles isn’t the only one giving it a chance. Lay’s also brought back their Chicken and Waffles chips at Kroger stores earlier this month, according to Yahoo.
Pringles is known for releasing wacky flavors that have raised an eyebrow or two as limited-edition offerings. Some of their more interesting flavors include Ramen, White Chocolate Peppermint, Pecan Pie, Cinnamon Sugar Tortillas, and Wasabi & Soy Sauce.
In November, the brand also embraced the holiday festivities and launched a stackable trio of turducken-flavored chips.
Now we’re talkin’!
Chicken and Waffles? I’ve never understood the connection. Two great foods. But foods that should not be eaten together.
Who eats this? Pregnant women?
And besides - isn’t this a black thing? If I ate this mess, wouldn’t I be culturally appropriating the black culture?
Sheesh!
Chicken Chips? A friend of mine and another friend thought this up 6 or 8 years ago.
They appropriated the waffles from Belgium.
Just a bunch of chicken chip.
Chicken and Waffles Pringles?
That sounds ridiculous, over the top non-nutritious!!
Where can I buy some?
P.S.; All I really want is a chicken taste. I don’t need to dilute the impact with a second starchy dish.
“Two great foods. But foods that should not be eaten together.”
You are wrong, so very, very wrong.

I think it’s Southern, not black.
I don’t eat chips anymore but I remember around Thanksgiving when Trader Joe’s would put out those turkey stuffing kettle chips. Now those were the best chips I ever had. My mouth is watering even now just thinking about them.
Southerners.
As a transplanted Damn Yankee who has embraced the nuanced expression “y’all”, I understand.
Why would anyone want that weird taste in a chip?
I’m still holding out for a Popeye’s chicken sandwich. Haven’t had one yet.
Pringles is to potato chips what styrofoam is to fine china.
YUUUUCHHH!

I think its origin is in jazz clubs where patrons would stay so late they couldn’t decide if they wanted supper or breakfast.
I agree with you. In fact, that combination has always sounded so off-puting to me that I would never even try it.
