What are Sweet Corn Pringles?
If you’re reading a review on this website, you probably like junk food and the creativity behind those products. And, as a result, you’re prepared to try some weird products, like pumpkin spice hummus or cheeseburger-flavored crackers. But the latest Walgreens-exclusive Pringles seem even more of a head-scratcher — corn-flavored potato crisps.
How are they?
It should be noted that these aren’t just imitating corn, but rather, sweet corn, which is a flavor much more popular in Japan than in the United States. As such, I have not had much experience with this outside of one comically-shaped gummy.
These are weird. They smell mostly like your average can of Pringles, but the flavor is wild. The taste lands somewhere between a SunChip and a buttered popcorn Jelly Belly, with a hint of garlic and onion lingering in the background.
It’s buttery and slightly sweet with a bizarre aftertaste that reminds me of something fluffy and sugary like cotton candy. They carry a solid balance of sweet and salty without steering too prominently in either direction to give the impression of salty butter on a vibrant yellow corn on the cob.
Anything else you should know?
Pringles are already the most Frankenstein’d of all potato chips, not actually being chips but crisps, so this makes this green can of dried and pressed together potatoes seasoned like corn all that much funnier.
Conclusion:
I said it once, and I’ll say it again — these are weird. But it doesn’t necessarily mean bad. When I first tried them, I ate 15 straight trying to wrap my head around what I was tasting. But the more I ate them, the more the flavor mellowed, and I enjoyed it.
I can’t say I would crave these when they’re done with their limited run, but it’s a fun snack that does an impressive job at corn impersonation.

Pringles sweet corn needs to be a regular flavor
How could you conclude saying these chips are good, they are terrible chips made from the depths of the Pringles Company bathroom. The only type of Pringles that should be a regular flavor is biscuits and gravy, and chicken and waffles. Every other flavor is bad and shouldn’t be an idea.
I highly disagree with you adrian. I for one think the sweet corn flavour should be the only flavour. I actually had it whilst feeding my baby girl. Her name is Gertrude. She’s 25 and I love her to bits. Eating these drops of heaven reminds me of back in the old days. Where I would play in the mines with pa. We would eat sweet corn and original chips everyday. I always wished they were in the same form of food. Best days of my life. Anyways 10/10 would savour again.
