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

Like a mannequin in New Era Caps or the former major league outfielder <\/a>Matt Stairs, Julius Pringle might well be called a man of many hats. Between bacon and sriracha, reduced fat and <\/a>diarrhea-inducing \u201cFat Free\u201d crisps, he lays claim to a snack food empire with more flavor variations than a Coke Freestyle machine. And while he\u2019s re-released his seasonal Pecan Pie Pringles in time for the holidays, he\u2019s also donned a sombrero just in time to wish you and I a Feliz Navidad.<\/p>\n

I speak, of course, of the new Cinnamon Sugar Pringles Tortillas. The flavor coincides with the annual need to turn savory into sweet this time each year, joining fellow new limited edition Pringles flavor, <\/a>milk chocolate, on grocery store shelves.<\/p>\n

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

Also consistent with the season: the shoddy packaging, which, much like the millions of gifts shipped in oversized containers and without proper padding, tends to leaves the Pringles battered and broken. It’s mitigated somewhat by the more sturdy nature of the tortilla base compared to regular Pringles, but it’s still annoying. Although not as annoying as waking up Christmas morning to a cracked HDTV.<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever had the Tortilla Pringles before you know the crisps enjoy a mild corn flavor with an enjoyable but none-too-bold toasted flavor. There’s an earthy note of black beans and a moderate crunch and saltiness, but overall, it’s a crisp that’s not going to offend anyone.<\/p>\n

To pick back up on the holiday theme, it’s the kind of crisp that talks about the weather at parties, perhaps munching on a sugar cookie in the corner while smiling pleasantly and staying as far away from the eggnog as possible. God forbid it might sing along to a Bing Crosby song, it instead hums an ambiguous classical note in the background. <\/p>\n

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

The addition of cinnamon sugar really doesn’t deviate too much from this philosophy. Coating only the “underside” of each crisp, the cinnamon sugar is pretty tame. With no notes of toasted, caramelized sweetness it’s as one-note as cinnamon sugar comes, and feels detached from the corn crisp beneath. It’s kind of a shame, really, because for a brief moment there’s a nice salty-sweet combination that feels natural amongst the tortilla base.<\/p>\n

The excitement dissipates quickly though, and like a kid at Christmas who\u2019s just opened up a buttload of wrapped gifts only to find clothes, the anticipation is replaced by a functional reality. In other words? Prepared to have some kind of salsa on hand.<\/p>\n

For some reason I thought the Pringles Tortillas Cinnamon Sugar would taste like churros, or at the very least open a new front in the ever chic<\/i> line of salty-sweet combinations. It manages to hint at the latter, but completely falls short of the former. If nothing else it just provides an adequate and mildly enjoyable corn chip for your holiday get-togethers filled with weather conversations and reduced fat sugar cookies.<\/p>\n
