\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

I have to admit I carry a borderline unhealthy obsession with pumpkin pie spice. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t just crave the stuff, I literally carry my obsession with me. As in the little bottle of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger that never leaves my side this time of year. It goes in my coffee at work, on top of my bagel and cream cheese in the morning, and even in a bag of burnt popcorn already jazzed up with sugar and salt. What can I say, I just crave the stuff. <\/p>\n

I\u2019d probably put it on Pringles if I could.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have to though, because the Pringles man will do it for me. Yessir, having not even cleared the minty taste of my last Pringles purchase<\/a>, I\u2019ve hit the stooping trifecta by picking up Walmart\u2019s exclusive and limited-time-only Pringles Pumpkin Pie Spice.<\/p>\n

Now if you\u2019re asking yourself what universal need a pumpkin spice-flavored Pringles satisfies, you obviously have not had enough pumpkin spice flavored stuff in your life. Unlike pumpkin spice coffee the Pringles Pumpkin Pie Spice won\u2019t burn your upper lip, and unlike pumpkin spice oatmeal and all manner of products with actual<\/i> pumpkin in them, the crisps aren\u2019t filled with fiber. This is good, because when you eat as much pumpkin as I do, you’ll get too much fiber and then end up farting a lot.<\/p>\n

Pringles Pumpkin Pie Spice also comes in handy as a conversation piece while waiting in line at Walmart. It allowed me to make small talk with the people around me about all the weird flavors of chips and crisps Walmart sells. However, Pringles Pumpkin Pie Spice doesn’t help shield me from the crazy woman in the line next to me who, for some reason, found it necessary to buy 33 Shutes and Ladders games. But moving several lanes over did.<\/p>\n

I was fully expecting Pringles Pumpkin Pie Spice to, at best, cause me to have an out-of-body snack food experience like I did with the Pringles White Chocolate Peppermint. At worst, I was expecting them to be so dreadfully disgusting that I would pass out and die while eating them on the drive home from Walmart. Amazingly, they weren\u2019t bad. Hell, they are actually pretty good. Much better than dying on the way home from Walmart.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

Pringles Pumpkin Pie Spice have a slightly orangey hue. There\u2019s no mention of “pumpkin” anything on the ingredient list, so they won\u2019t give you enough vitamin A<\/a> to allow you to go all night vision the next time you\u2019re playing Ghosts in the Graveyard<\/a>. But that\u2019s okay, because I rock at that game. Although, I would trade having killer night vision for not farting as much while still getting a pumpkin pie spice fix.<\/p>\n

The taste of pumpkin flavor is moderate. Not loud or harsh, yet neither quiet nor lost. I like how the flavor is sweet and not too spicy. I also like how the crisps, for one reason or another, retain enough of that flavor to not make for a disjointed finish with the Pringles-tasting base. With just a pinch of salt, the ratio of sweet-salty is actually in favor of the former, making for a lighter taste than one usually associates with popping the top. For those of you keeping score at home, this was a much better crisp than the Pringles Cinnamon & Sugar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

Pringles Pumpkin Pie Spice don\u2019t taste like pumpkin pie, but thanks to real, scientific testing done with actual pumpkin pie spice, I can confirm the crisps do taste like a sweeter version of the classic combination of fall spices. Not only that, but the crisps actually make a nice little dipping vehicle should you have some kind of pumpkin-ey cream cheese or dip concoction nearby. <\/p>\n

If nothing else, I believe they provide the first case where Pringles manages to do a really weird sounding limited edition flavor right.<\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Limited Time Only Pringles Pumpkin Pie Spice
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $1.50
\nSize:<\/b> 6.38 ounces
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Walmart
\nRating:<\/b> 8 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Pleasantly sweet pumpkin pie spice taste. Not harsh nor bitter in the spice department. Salt of the Pringles is restrained. Flavors don\u2019t clash. Making small talk at Walmart. Won\u2019t cause you to fart while enjoying seasonal tastes.
\nCons:<\/b> Spice could be more assertive. Sweetness lacks true depth of brown sugar found in actual pumpkin pie. Doesn\u2019t contain vitamin A (doesn\u2019t actually have pumpkin, either). Love it or hate it Pringles crispness. Possibly opens the door for ill-fated Pringles flavor development. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
