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

It\u2019s been some time since I hung with Julius Pringles. I missed him. That mustachioed egg man may have gone through image makeovers throughout the years, but his tennis ball can-packed product has remained the same \u2013 kinda boring, kinda cardboardy, but undoubtedly addictive.<\/p>\n

Pringles has had an Oreo-like run of flavors, but none really jumped out at me until I saw they had turned my favorite free mall food court sample into a chip \u2014 Bourbon Barbecue Chicken.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never walked though my mall\u2019s food court without a friendly peddler offering me a free bite of bourbon chicken. Sometimes the sample even convinces me to buy a plate, so why not try the chip version?<\/p>\n

So, did Pringles nail the flavor?<\/p>\n

No, they basically re-purposed their BBQ flavor.<\/p>\n

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

Once you pop, you get the familiar BBQ Pringles smell. Once you bite in, you get an instant vinegary\/soy sauce-like tang which turns into a smoky BBQ flavor. It\u2019s a pretty intense initial flavor, but it fades quickly. It\u2019s actually weird; they\u2019re like Gobstopper chips \u2013 multiple flavors in layers. Once the chip\u2019s coating dissipates, it\u2019s just a BBQ Pringle.<\/p>\n

Pringles claims that once I pop I won\u2019t be able to stop. But I stopped. I had to; in fear I wouldn\u2019t have any water left in my body. These have a little spicy kick to them. That coupled with the fact they are really salty leaves you with almost immediate dry mouth. One can say I only ate about 2 fingers worth of these Bourbon baked beauties, Sinatra-style.<\/p>\n

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

I initially thought the word \u201cchicken\u201d seemed completely unnecessary. You\u2019d never know these were chicken flavored as you\u2019re eating them, but about three minutes after I ate that handful of \u201ccrisps,\u201d my mouth tasted like I had eaten BBQ chicken. It brought back memories of hanging by my friend\u2019s pool and eating a chicken leg from the grill. So that aftertaste was spot on as far as the \u201cchicken\u201d goes.<\/p>\n

As far as \u201cbourbon\u201d flavor? I mean, I\u2019ve had BBQ sauces that were made from whiskey, and it\u2019s never really been pronounced. I tried to convince myself that I did get a very quick taste of bourbon when I was eating these, but if I did it was just for a split second.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t taste like the aforementioned bourbon chicken from the mall food court, which was disappointing. To be fair though, I haven\u2019t had it in a while. I even bypassed the free sample the last time I was there. That\u2019s what we call self control, ladies and gentlemen.<\/p>\n

I guess I\u2019d say these are slightly better than regular BBQ Pringles if only for that brief difference on first taste, and the chicken-y aftertaste. If I\u2019m being honest, BBQ is not the Pringles I\u2019d usually go for. I\u2019ve always preferred their sour cream and onion. Is that a controversial opinion? I have to live up to my \u201cbadboy\u201d image.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re in the mood for a BBQ Pringle, but aren\u2019t near a Target, you can make do with the old standard. If you\u2019re feeling extra rowdy, pair them with a nice glass of bourbon because\u2026 well, you don\u2019t need an excuse for that. You work hard.<\/p>\n
