I admit I&#8217;ve been having some &#8220;food that tastes like other food&#8221; fatigue. But my fond memories of the <a href= \"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2020\/02\/11\/reuben-pringles-review\/\">Reuben-flavored Pringles<\/a> allowed me to give the brand a pass and look forward to this variety. In the can, they smelled like a standard, albeit mild, barbecue chip.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pringlesmsc3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Mexican Street Corn Pringles 2\" title=\"pringlesmsc3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Since the label all but asks me to compare: elote, it&#8217;s not-eh. But what it is is a tremendously flavorful and eatable snack with powerful bright lime, subtle creaminess, a hint of spice, and a gently persistent smokey tang throughout. There is a specific sweetness that evokes corn niblets, but it was inconsistent bite to bite, and the strong potato taste of the crisp stood in the way.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a bit of cheesiness that reminded me of the classic cheddar cheese Pringles (which, to age myself, I always mistakenly call Cheez Ums\u2026 RIP Cheez Ums). I do wish there was more of a mayonnaise-like fattiness to stand up to the tart and sweet notes; that balance has always been my favorite part of street corn and <em>esquites<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pringlesmsc4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Mexican Street Corn Pringles Plate\" title=\"pringlesmsc4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some may find these Pringles to be underdressed, but I prefer a lighter dusting when the flavors are so bold, so I was very happy with the distribution on each crisp.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>If you eat a whole crisp at a time, the acidic lime in the seasoning may irritate the edges of your mouth. It didn&#8217;t slow me down but probably should have.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike the Reuben Pringles, which were so spot on I was able to give a Violet Beauregarde-style description of each sandwich ingredient I was tasting as I ate them, the Mexican Street Corn Pringles would be better described as street corn inspired, not flavored. I reckon anyone who likes the ingredients of Mexican street corn would like these crisps, but don&#8217;t expect them to satisfy any cravings you may have for the real thing. This fatigued snacker is going to just ignore the name on the can and enjoy the crisps for what they are: delicious.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $1.79<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 5.5 oz (158g)<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Big Y (while in MA; still trying to track these down in L.A.)<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 oz\/28g, about 14 crisps) 150 calories, 9 grams of fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 mg of cholesterol, 210 milligrams of sodium, 16 grams of total carbohydrates, 0 grams of total sugars, &lt;1 grams of fiber, and 1 gram of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Mexican Street Corn Pringles?
