    well yeah, but they’re also not ‘proper’ potato chips. it’s a trade off, i guess

      Pringles are far superior to regular potato chips though, so it’s less of a “trade off” and more of a “win win” situation

    They cut down on the flavor instead

    I was craving pizza flavored pringles but was very dissapointed by the lack of flavor.

    What happened? pizza pringles used to be good

    PRINGLES ORIGINAL

    Dried potatoes, Vegetable oil, Corn flour, Corn starch, Rice flour, Sugars (maltodextrin), Mono- and diglycerides, Salt, Citric acid, Wheat starch.

    RUFFLES ORIGINAL

    Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil), and Salt.

    Old Dutch chip Original

    POTATOES, VEGETABLE OIL, SALT.

    Would have to compare the actual weights offered by buy weight you will always get more potato in other brands.

      Maltodextrin is a plant derived carb that’s used to thicken foods. It’s not a sugar. Also, Original Pringles, at least the in the US, don’t have citric acid.

      Also worth noting, the reason Pringles have emulsifiers and thickeners is because the potatoes are mashed up and poured into a little mould. They need to be thickened and well mixed so they stay together when fried.

      There isn’t anything too crazy in there. I’ve used these ingredients at home. They’re easy to get and can come from plants.

        Not saying they are bad, just saying you arn’t getting as much potato due the the amount of binders and flours.

      You’re right, but people also complain there is so much “air” in the bags that they are basically half filled.
