We’ve Tried Dozens of Pringles Flavors, These Are the 13 Best

We aren’t the biggest Pringles Mingles fans. They’re a little too dense to be puffcorn and a little too dry to be cheese puffs, so what are they? The closest approximation is bowtie-shaped packing peanuts, but if you’re going to buy any of them, buy these because they’re sweet, they’re tasty, and they work better than most of the cheesy and savory flavors. Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Mingles have a real churros thing going for them. They’re buttery, nicely spiced, and a touch salty so they’re not sweet, sweet, sweet. Even if you don’t like them when you first taste them, you’ll eat a whole bag. Yeah, this is a personal anecdote, in case you were wondering. —Gwynedd Stuart

Best Zesty

Pringles 7 Layer Dip

Pringles released a lot of new flavors in 2025, and these were among our favorites. Do they taste like 7 Layer Dip? No, not really—and they definitely lose points for that. But we’re adding them to our list of the best Pringles flavors because if you’ve ever craved chips that taste like a creamy salsa verde or green enchilada sauce, these do a REALLY good job of that. They’re bright and creamy and very flavorful. And hey—we give credit where credit is due. Seven layers are a lot of layers! —Gwynedd Stuart

Best Meaty

Texas BBQ Brisket

Kroger

These are so strange—and yet, I couldn’t stop eating them. They really taste meaty. In fact, they really taste brisket-y. They taste like burnt ends. They’re tangy, they’re peppery—it’s unlike any Pringles flavor I’ve ever had. Texas BBQ Brisket might not be the best Pringles flavor to always have on hand—these chips are just a little bit too weird for that. But this is one of the best flavors of Pringles if you really want to experience true food science at work. —Justine Sterling

Best “Healthy”

Pringles Smoky Cheddar

This 2025 Pringles flavor was part of a whole smoky drop that included a Smoky BBQ flavor as well as a Smoky Bacon flavor, but this was the best of the bunch. Like a lot of faux “smoky” snacks these have a little bit of a Beggin’ Strips thing going on, but it mellows as you eat. They pretty convincingly capture the flavor of a sharp, smoked cheddar. They’re VERY salty, but our resident salt-tooth, Ariana Losch, was into that. —Gwynedd Stuart

Best for Doritos Lovers

Ranch

Ralphs

I’m a tough critic when it comes to ranch and ranch-flavored snacks, so these tasty Ranch Pringles were the biggest surprise of the tasting. They are tangy, creamy, and herby in a way that reminds me of good quality ranch dressing. Plus, there’s something about the plain vessel of a Pringle that just holds ranch seasoning very well. I’d put these up against Cool Ranch Doritos in terms of quality ranch flavor. — Danny Palumbo

Best Bite

Salt & Vinegar

I was surprised that Salt & Vinegar Pringles have as much acidic tang as they do. Now, I much, much prefer salt and vinegar potato chips to the processed potato flake version, but these are still pretty darn good. One of my personal favorite Pringles flavors, these have a bold taste that masks the lack of pure potato flavor. These are mouth smackingly tangy and the blank-slate nature of the chips themselves gives these a kick you probably aren’t used to with other salt and vinegar snacks. — Danny Palumbo

Best Spicy

Habaneras

If you’re looking for heat, this is the best Pringles flavor to buy. Each chip packs a palpable heat that really lasts. And they truly taste like habanero peppers—not just generic chili peppers. They have that fruity, vegetal flavor, along with a pop of lime and a healthy hit of salt to balance everything out. Seriously, be wary of the heat. I popped one of these into my mouth too fast and legit burned the back of my throat. Heat-seekers, behold the best flavor of Pringles for you. —Justine Sterling

Best Plain

Original

I thought I was going to hate Original Pringles, but there’s something about their aggressively plain and processed flavor that just beat me into submission. Original Pringles are delightfully salty, and the amalgamation of pure potato flakes, cornstarch, and water actually tastes pretty good when it’s salted properly. Editor-in-chief Justine Sterling also went to bat for these hard. It’s kind of inexplicable that these are so good, but the lesson here is this: All you need for something to taste good is the proper amount of salt. —Danny Palumbo

Best on a Sandwich

All Dressed

All dressed chips have finally made their way from Canada into the USA and thank god. It’s a truly wonderful flavor—a mix of BBQ, salt and vinegar, ketchup, and sour cream and onion. And it works great on a Pringle. You get a lot of tang and tartness—it almost comes across as pickle relish—as well as a touch of ketchup-y sweetness. All those condiment flavors on one crisp make this the best flavor of Pringles to stack onto a sandwich. You’ll instantly upgrade even the most basic sammie into something extraordinary. —Justine Sterling

Best New Flavor

Carnitas Taco

Another feat of flavor science, these Pringles taste like a carnitas taco. They’re so, so meaty and a little bit fatty. It’s almost frightening. You even taste a hint of onion and cilantro (though it could use some lime, as advertised on the tube). Forget Willy Wonka—the Oompa Loompas have clearly all gotten jobs at Pringles making Pringles flavors that challenge the mind. And, once you get over your initial shock, these crisps are just plain good to eat. —Justine Sterling

Best Bold Flavor

Pizza

This can of Pizza Pringles made its way around the Sporked office like a blunt in rotation, so I was really tempted to rank them number one. Pringles flavors are best when they taste like pure junk food, and these Pizza Pringles are absolutely loaded with tomato and oregano flavor that reminds me of low-rent frozen pizza (and I mean that in the most flattering way possible). More things should taste like crappy frozen pizza. This is the best Pringle flavor for those who love dipping pizza in ranch and aren’t above eating the occasional Hot Pocket. —Danny Palumbo

Best Runner-Up

Sour Cream & Onion

Sour Cream & Onion Pringles aren’t just some of the best Pringles—they’re the best Sour Cream & Onion chips, period. (We know, we basically tried them all.) They’re super creamy and absolutely packed with bright onion flavor. Placing one of these on your tongue is a one-way ticket to sour cream and onion town, which is adjacent to Flavortown, obviously. Our taste testers thought the Cheddar & Sour Cream flavor was just a touch more compelling, but these are up there, too. —Gwynedd Stuart
