Rhett & Link Find Out Which Pringle Is the 'Kingle'

Which Pringle is the kingle of all Pringles? In a 2020 Gut Check episode of Good Mythical Morning, Rhett & Link set out to find their favorites by tasting virtually every single Pringle you can find in stores and online. They say that once you pop you can’t stop—R&L can’t stop, won’t stop.

Here are the top three flavors they tasted, each of which got its own little crown, along with a rundown of every single flavor they tried.

Jalapeño

Buy from Amazon

These chips got a double clap from both Rhett & Link when they tasted. “I don’t even like spicy,” Link said, but he sure liked these. Rhett gave them a score of 89, while Link gave them a solid 80. “That is NICE,” Rhett added. “Subtle. Nice.”

Buffalo Ranch

Buy from Amazon

“Boy, that’s nice,” Rhett said of these. Link also loved them, referring to their yummy taste as “surprising,” making them a “dark horse candidate” for the finals. Sadly, this flavor doesn’t appear to be widely available, but you might be able to snag a canister on Amazon.

Sour Cream & Cheddar

Even before it touched his lips, Link offered an “oh snap” for these creamy, tasty chips. As predicted, they loved. Rhett gave them a 93, while Link gave them a respectable 85. Rhett liked the cheesy, creamy flavor of both this chip and the Buffalo Ranch, but this one came out on top in a final head-to-head tasting.

About the Author

Howdy! I’m Gwynedd, Sporked’s managing editor. I live in Los Angeles and have access to the best tacos the U.S. has to offer—but I’m a sucker for a crunchy Old El Paso taco night every now and then. I’ve been at Sporked since 2022 and I’m still searching frozen mozzarella sticks that can hold a candle to restaurant sticks. Why you should trust me: I’ve been a journalist for 20 years (yikes), a consumer of food for 40-plus years, and I’m truly hard pressed to think of foods I don’t like (or that I can’t tolerate at the very least). Oh and one time I cooked my way through Guy Fieri’s cookbook and wrote about the journey through Flavortown. What I buy every week: Trader Joe’s Original Savory Thins. Fat free plain yogurt (usually Fage or Nancy’s). Honeycrisp apples. Sweet cream coffee creamer for my at-home Americanos. A frozen cauliflower crust pizza and some jarred mushrooms to top it with. Old El Paso Stand ‘N Stuff taco shells and Gardein Ground Be’f, even though I think “be’f” is a nightmarish contraction. Favorite ranking: Stouffer’s frozen dinners. I don’t own a microwave (I get my cancers the old fashioned way!), so I love taste testing things that I don’t really buy to eat at home. Least favorite ranking: Soy sauce. Don’t get me wrong, I love soy sauce—but consuming that much sodium in one sitting is probably illegal in some countries. Our frozen enchilada taste test was a close second; the smell of microwaved corn tortillas still haunts me.
