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.

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.

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
