So instead of my usual tube of store-brand I grabbed a tube of Pringles because they had fancy limited edition flavours.
They put the flavour on the wrong side of the crisps. If you put them, as is proper, into your mouth so that they actually fit, right-out embracing your tongue, the spice is on the top side. I don’t have taste buds in the roof of my mouth. How can this kind of blatant incompetence exist in the world?
Also I would have expected more heat from something called “Thai Green Curry” but that’s a whole another topic.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
If I read this article right, and I think their picture shows their Pringles stacked same-side up as mine, mine have the flavouring on the other side.
Which side is up in the can was never a question for me, they simply fit my mouth, and presumably mouths in general, better if the long concave side cups the tongue. It could be that they’re simply seasoned on the wrong side over here it’s not like they import them from the US, they’re produced in Poland.
In any case the store brand has seasoning placement down, but as this is Germany you’re limited to paprika and sour cream and onion. Which I will be sticking with in the future.
I like to lick the flavor side and then flip it so it fits in the mouth. While less convenient than just having the flavor on the right side, the extra step makes it more involved which has its own kind of enjoyment.
