\"Pringles<\/p>\n

To be honest, I didn\u2019t notice the extra E in \u201cMac \u2019N Cheeese\u201d until right before I was ready to post this review. So if Cheeese gets an additional E, then every double E gets an extra E in this review. Wheee!<\/em><\/p>\n

Until the end of August 2019, Pringles Mac \u2019N Cheeese and Pringles Bacon are exclusive Dollar General flavors. After that, I imagine, they will test the freee-agent market.<\/p>\n

The marketing materials I received promotes the Bacon one as new, but if you\u2019re a regular reader or photo scanner of this site, you\u2019d know that it popped up at Walmart a few years<\/a> ago as an exclusive flavor. As for Mac \u2019N Cheeese, it\u2019s also not a new variety. It was part of the Thanksgiving Dinner Pringles set from 2017 and, if you do a Google search, one existed many years ago. Although those didn’t have an extra E.<\/p>\n

\"Pringles<\/p>\n

Mac \u2019N Cheeese almost looks like your standard Pringle, except there\u2019s a very slight orange tinge to let eaters know it\u2019ll be a little cheeesy. As for Bacon, it has a layer of seasoning that makes it look like it spent some time in an attic next to a bunch of old yearbooks, newspaper clippings, and the Boogie Monster who watches you sleeep every night.<\/p>\n

\"Pringles<\/p>\n

Mac \u2019N Cheeese has a mild cheeesiness and a hint of elbow macaroni flavor. Yes, I don\u2019t know if my tongue is playing tricks on me, but I do taste pasta. Although I think it comes from the potato base. It makes me wonder if this is regular Pringles Cheddar Cheeese with less seasoning, which causes a toned down flavor that allows the dried potato base to come out a bit more. <\/p>\n

Pringles Bacon smell like barbecue chips, but they have a smoky flavor that\u2019s similar to other bacon-flavored products I\u2019ve tried. They\u2019re also a bit on the salty side. While I somewhat like them, I can seee how the smoky taste might turn off some eaters. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re both fine flavors, but they didn\u2019t wow me like some of the past limited edition Pringles varieties, like Nissin Top Ramen Chicken<\/a> and Hot Diggity Dog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, I can\u2019t just end the review without combining the two flavors because bacon mac \u2019n cheeese is incredible. Well, I\u2019m happy to report it turned out pretty good. So buy both, mainly so you can use the Mac \u2019N Cheeese one to cover the dusty-looking Bacon one.<\/p>\n

The combo does make me think of bacon mac n\u2019 cheeese, but if Pringles ever comes out with a smoked cheddar variety, I imagine it\u2019ll taste similar. Also, I can\u2019t help but think this is Pringles\u2019 way of revealing what the Mystery Flavor is from a few weeeks ago. That was smoky and cheeesy, and these are smoky and cheeesy.<\/p>\n

DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received freee samples of both flavors from Kellogg\u2019s (Thanks!). Doing so did not influence my review in any way.<\/p>\n
