Pringles - Xtra Fiery Sweet Grill 140g for $1 @ The Reject Shop

1500

Those Pringles marketing geniuses attempted reinvigorating their brand's perceived value with tweaked variations of established flavours while reducing tube contents to 140g. And they all attended Universities.

Proof that strategy failed proliferates within the elegantly appointed ambiance of Cessnock's exclusive elite emporium Ye Olde Reject Shoppe. As esteemed purveyors of exquisite delicacies to gourmets and Epicurean connoisseurs, a Royal Warrant seems imminent.

Made in USA, this product name deceives as these are neither extra fiery nor merely fiery. They are rather mild with a pleasant aftertaste due to emulsifier 471, food acids 262, 330, 260, flavour enhancers 621, 631, 627, colours 160c, 133, 129, 110 and anticaking agents 551 and 341.

Therefore they are Best Before 02/2017 … presumably Not Lethal Before 04/2028. With no easy way of checking, it is fair to assume availability is statewide or even national. I purchased 3 tubes; at least 70 remained. The onion on my belt visibly impressed the checkout matron.

    so much effort for pringles lol

    Flavour enhancer 621 (one of the ingredients) is MSG

      Isn't that found in most, if not all, chips?

        which is actually harmless. theres no credible scientific evidence to support that it's bad. mmmkay.

    Great bargain, great read!

    • The manufacturers were aiming for VAT exemption. Wikipedia says in May 2009 the Court Of Appeal reversed that decision. The tube says "Savoury Snack / POTATO CRISPS" immediately above the ingredients.

    The new Pringles is pretty crap compared to yesteryears. I've banned them out of my life now.

    Have a look at the difference. Tastes horrible too these days

      Looks like they are targeting a much young market like under 10 year olds.

    At least these are the pringles made in USA. not the new smaller disgusting ones that are made in Malaysia

    That was a great write up, well done

    Two out of the OP's four latest deals were "unpublished". Most "unfortunate", this and the remaining one are entertaining.

    Are you sure that was an onion on your belt, or were you just happy to see her?

    'Not Lethal'….Well then…

  • No interest in the Pringles, but an upvote from me for the Mo just entertaining post yet😀

    How many pringles were unbroken in the tube?

    • +1

      one

    • About 90% unbroken. Either I was gentle or Kellogg's chemists have improved that characteristic.

  • Not really a bargain if it was originally $2, however I would consider it to be if it was $0.50 :D

    • +2

      Yeah they were $2 a tube at Reject Shop

      Source: I bought some couple of months ago, tasted nice, ok for $2 bucks.

      • +1

        Yeah it's still a good deal :)

      Wife picked up a tube (?) today. It was $2 at the Minto NSW store. So, might be store specific. Anyone else confirm the price ?
      Not that I'm fussed over $1. They taste pretty good.

    • +2

      I bought only 3 tubes in case the price drops again.

  • +1

    be rejected to be bought

  • +2

    After 3 tubes you shall remain flavour enhanced and most likely anti caked until at least 04/2028.

    Nailed it OP. Cheers!!

    Strange, it's still $2 at reject shop at Broadway.

    • +1

      It scans at $2? Disgraceful.

      • +2

        My bad. It was the 150g tube. Different flavour. I bought one thinking it was the reduced price.

        • +1

          Fair enough. I'm hoping the price drops again, though that doesn't happen often at Ye Olde Reject Shoppe.
