\"Wendy<\/p>\n

My Dear Impulsive Buyers,<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve now lost count of my days spent embroiled in the chicken sandwich war.<\/p>\n

Whenever I feel they are close to an end, another challenger enters the fray. New culinary battles ensue.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen some good sandwiches come and go by the wayside. Young. Fresh. Barely out of the test kitchens. KFC<\/a>. McDonald\u2019s<\/a>. The Ch\u2019King<\/a> \u2013 all basically forgotten before they even had a chance.<\/p>\n

While Popeyes remains the world superpower, I have a burgeoning respect for a chicken sandwich so battle-tested, so decorated, it has now transcended the sandwich itself \u2013 Wendy\u2019s Spicy Chicken.<\/p>\n

We can all learn something from Wendy\u2019s Spicy Chicken. To survive the wars, you must adapt. Days may become months, and while boys become men, chicken sandwiches must become potato crisps\u2026 ?!<\/em><\/p>\n

——–<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, folks, Pringles has a Wendy\u2019s Spicy Chicken flavored crisp, and I\u2019m pretty jacked up about it.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t even tell you how many Wendy\u2019s Spicy Chicken Sandwiches I\u2019ve had in my life, but I\u2019m pretty confident no other fast food item even comes close. So I knew I had to write this review.<\/p>\n

\"Wendy<\/p>\n

After picking up my can of Pringles, I swung by Wendy\u2019s so I could really see if they would\u2026 stack up.<\/p>\n

I have to say, at first, I was a little bummed.<\/p>\n

\"Wendy<\/p>\n

The crisps tasted like poultry seasoning and heaps of black pepper, but it wasn\u2019t distinctly Wendy\u2019s. I cleansed my palate between alternating bites of Pringles and the sandwich, but it just wasn\u2019t clicking like I\u2019d hoped.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, the crisps were delicious, but on a flavor mimicry scale of 1 to Jelly Belly, they came in at about a 6.<\/p>\n

I think the main problem for me was the fact that they were missing a little tang of the mayo, which is a key ingredient of Wendy\u2019s sandwich. I also think the crisps tasted like they had a slightly different tasting pepper, but the heat levels were about the same.<\/p>\n

\"Wendy<\/p>\n

I guess you lose a lot in the flavor transfer when you\u2019re biting into a juicy chicken fillet versus a crispy potato chip, and I couldn\u2019t get past that. I did stack some Pringles on my sandwich for a couple of bites to create a Chick-inception just for fun.<\/p>\n

All in all, I enjoyed the Pringles, but next to the sandwich, they were only pretty good\u2026 That was until I ate them on their own the next day.<\/p>\n

I guess the sandwich being there put too much pressure on the Pringles and my dumb brain because they tasted spot on this go around. I was blown away. The aftertaste was especially similar to Wendy\u2019s, and I ended up polishing off the rest of the can. It was essentially like eating the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and fries at the same time.<\/p>\n

So, my recommendation would be to just enjoy the chips as their own thing, and I guarantee you\u2019ll notice just how much they remind you of the Wendy\u2019s Spicy Chicken Sandwich.<\/p>\n

This was a great effort by Pringles, and I hope Julius Pringle and Dave Thomas keep their collabs rolling. I want a line of Spicy Nugget Pringles that come in different dipping sauce flavors. Spicy Nuggets with BBQ. Spicy Nuggets with Honey Mustard, etc. Whatever. I bet those would be excellent.<\/p>\n

——<\/p>\n

Perhaps this crisp is what we\u2019ve been waiting for all along. The one that will bring an end to the great chicken sandwich war. I write to you, hopeful that we will find common ground and see rise to more such chicken-based snack ingenuity.<\/p>\n

I hope this review finds you well.<\/em><\/p>\n
