\"Wendy<\/p>\n

Like many of you, I imagine, going to the grocery store is one of my absolute favorite things to do. When I turned 30, I got a birthday card that said on the inside, \u201cYou have a favorite grocery store now\u201d as though I hadn\u2019t had one since my 20th birthday? Ha!<\/p>\n

Anyway, there I was this past Tuesday, strolling along the aisles of the Skokie Jewel-Osco (an Albertson\u2019s chain, for anyone eager to find these crisps) when I spotted an endcap display wall of glowing Wendy\u2019s signs. Okay, they weren\u2019t glowing, but the bright illuminated red Wendy\u2019s sign graphic on the black tube of Pringles made it LOOK like they were glowing. This store had the new Limited Time Only Wendy\u2019s Baconator Pringles.<\/p>\n

Pringles has pulled off some pretty complex flavor combinations before, and I was eager to try these out. The image on the front is the classic, original Baconator with two quarter-pound patties, six strips of bacon, cheese, ketchup, and mayo on a bun. <\/p>\n

\"Wendy<\/p>\n

Wendy appears on the pop-top lid and there\u2019s a code printed on the underside of the lid for an offer for a free Baconator, Son of Baconator, or Breakfast Baconator with a purchase when you order using the Wendy\u2019s app.<\/p>\n

\"Wendy<\/p>\n

I was ready for this tube (can? cylinder?) of Pringles to have an overwhelming bacon smell, but it actually was balanced from start to finish, and the crisps were visibly seasoned with a light orange powder (I always prefer it when I can see the seasoning, don\u2019t you?).<\/p>\n

There are an awful lot of artificial bacon flavored and scented items out there, and some of them are offensive \u2013 this isn\u2019t one of those items. These crisps have tangy sauce flavor, onion, and a great balance of bacon and charred burger.<\/p>\n

Compared to the Baconator itself, the crisps could have used a little more bacon flavor, but I appreciate that they didn\u2019t just make a bacon-flavored chip. These crisps taste like meat. <\/p>\n

\"Wendy<\/p>\n

The aftertaste is slightly sweet, almost like Cheerios. Maybe they were going for bun flavor? But if you don\u2019t like the aftertaste, just shove more meat crisps into your gob, you goof.<\/p>\n

Overall these are a surprisingly balanced crisp that do taste like all the elements of a Baconator. Maybe Pringles will bang out a fried egg-flavored crisp next and we\u2019ll have an excuse to eat Breakfast Baconator Pringles in the morning. <\/p>\n

I\u2019d try it.<\/p>\n

I sincerely hope you\u2019re able to locate these Baconator Pringles. If you\u2019re in the Venn Diagram of people who love Wendy\u2019s and people who love Pringles, these are a little slice of heaven just for you.<\/p>\n
