Local flair surfaces in niche
flavors
CHICAGO, Dec. 19,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent review of
top-selling Pringles flavors in every corner of the globe
shows that people can agree on two things: Original and Sour Cream
& Onion Pringles.
"While we create hundreds of unique irresistible local market
flavors to provide our consumers all around the world with tastes
they know and love, ultimately we find we are all more similar than
different in our preferences for Pringles flavors," said
Christine Jakovcic, Vice President
of Global Brands for Kellanova. "Original and Sour Cream &
Onion are the top-selling flavors in all of the markets in which we
sell our iconic crisps."
Original Pringles were first introduced in the mid-1950s, and
Sour Cream & Onion made its debut in 1984. Pringles, the
original stackable potato-based crisp, today features more than 160
flavor combinations. Local personality and tastes come through in
flavor extensions. For example, in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe, popular flavors have included Pigs in
Blanket and Cheese Fondue. In Japan, fans love Egg Sandwich Pringles, and in
S. Korea, Sweet Mayo Cheese is all the rage.
"Tell us your favorite flavor by posting on our Pringles
Instagram page," asked Jakovcic. "If you have ideas for new
flavors, we'd love to hear those, too. Capturing trends and what is
going to wow the taste buds of our Pringles fans is always
fun."
When people enjoy Pringles crisps most does vary regionally. In
the U.S. and Canada, Pringles
sales peak around Super Bowl and in the summer, while Chinese New
Year is a big selling time in Southeast
Asia. In the United
Kingdom, Pringles sales double in December. In 2022, 8.3
million households purchased Pringles in the weeks leading up to
Christmas.
