New 7-Layer Dip Pringles Are the Brand’s Biggest Swing Yet

Another day, another new Pringles flavor. Seriously, Pringles drops new releases more often than Sabrina Carpenter! (Bear with me while I work on my tight five connecting Pringles to pop stars.) Anyway, we got our hands on a new Pringles flavor: Pringles 7-Layer Dip. No, it’s not actually a dip (although I am totally into that idea). These are Pringles “crisps” flavored to taste like 7-layer dip. 

So, do these new Pringles taste like seven separate ingredients? Read on to find out.

New Pringles Flavor!

Pringles 7-Layer Dip

There’s no true standard when it comes to what exactly goes into a 7-layer dip, but here’s what appears to be on the can: sour cream, beans, guacamole, cheese, tomatoes, black olives, and some little green bits that could be chunks of green pepper but could also be lettuce or cilantro, I guess. 

Pros: These new Pringles are really good salsa verde Pringles. I know that’s not what they’re advertised as, but that’s what they are. They taste like cilantro and tomatillo, with a hint of tangy  sour cream. There’s a hint of heat on the finish, but they’re generally pretty mild chips. Personally, I like them a lot. They’re going to stay with me on my desk as my tasty desk snack. 

Cons: They do not taste like 7-layer dip. There’s really no bean flavor and certainly no guacamole flavor. It was a bold attempt—and I commend Pringles for taking a big swing. But if you’re hoping for true 7-layer dip flavor, you’re going to be disappointed. And don’t even try to dip one of these new Pringles into a 7-layer dip to make up for that lack of verisimilitude. Pringles are notoriously the weakest of all the chips.
