Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yea, cuz it's about 3/4 as tall as it used to be and twice as much.

[–] Thormjolnir@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I mean, that's a normal size can. But idk

Whether or not you meant it to be, this is an ad.

Not making a value judgment, just raising the cry. Ads in and of themselves aren't bad so long as everyone knows what they are.

True, I just thought it was funny. But it is true that they're doing it tovsdvertise

They cut down on the flavor instead

I was craving pizza flavored pringles but was very dissapointed by the lack of flavor.

What happened? pizza pringles used to be good

I did get covid but I didn't really get any loss of taste for anything else that i've noticed anyways

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

You got old and lost a bunch of taste buds.

[–] Thormjolnir@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Well I mean they may of cut down the flavor, or are we just binging on flavor everywhere?

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's because it's half empty.

[–] Thormjolnir@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

That exact can had been eaten half full because we ate them.

[–] Duchess@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

well yeah, but they're also not 'proper' potato chips. it's a trade off, i guess

[–] Thormjolnir@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

True they are potato crisps

[–] MrJameGumb@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Pringles are far superior to regular potato chips though, so it's less of a "trade off" and more of a "win win" situation

PRINGLES ORIGINAL

Dried potatoes, Vegetable oil, Corn flour, Corn starch, Rice flour, Sugars (maltodextrin), Mono- and diglycerides, Salt, Citric acid, Wheat starch.

RUFFLES ORIGINAL

Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil), and Salt.

Old Dutch chip Original

POTATOES, VEGETABLE OIL, SALT.

Would have to compare the actual weights offered by buy weight you will always get more potato in other brands.

Maltodextrin is a plant derived carb that’s used to thicken foods. It’s not a sugar. Also, Original Pringles, at least the in the US, don’t have citric acid.

Also worth noting, the reason Pringles have emulsifiers and thickeners is because the potatoes are mashed up and poured into a little mould. They need to be thickened and well mixed so they stay together when fried.

There isn’t anything too crazy in there. I’ve used these ingredients at home. They’re easy to get and can come from plants.

[–] Thormjolnir@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You're right, but people also complain there is so much "air" in the bags that they are basically half filled.

[–] zaros@zaros.club 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm still waiting for the promised new can that isn't impossible to recycle...
