In response to a recent post; yes, Pringles are undergoing shrinkflation. Here’s the old and the new cans, side by side in Dunnes.

  1. I’m probably out on me own here, bit I think they’re horrible. Not just the BBQ ones, all of them.

    They’re like baked mashed potatoes.

  2. 3.25 for a package of Pringles?

    It used be 2 euro in the petrol stations and that was arip off.

    Dunnes are doing this with everything now. Save save save yellow stickers

  3. God noone needs that many crisps. Eat less, you’ll be healthier… The corperations are right. Instead of paying a dietician.. Give the difference to corperate. Go corperate!

  4. Years ago growing up Pringles used to be the fancy crisp but not anymore they’re not even worth it and taste different, not as nice as years ago. I rarely buy them but if the prices doesn’t decrease(Won’t happen) as well then i’ll stop getting them. I’m sick of this crap. Never buy them on full price and who the hell would waste €3.25 on Pringles? I only picked them up when they get around the €1 mark and i still think they’re not worth it.

  5. Pringles were commonly on offer in England for £1, crazy prices here. Cereal as well as is about half the price for the same brand.

  6. Was curious, so calculated mine in America are 155 grams for €1.56. Can’t tell you what it was before, though.

    The new drawing of him looks horrible.

  7. You think that’s bad, my local chipper does 200ml drinks instead of 330ml cans now.

    Everything is getting smaller except the feckin price of it all.

  8. in fairness, its always really annoying trying to get your hand down to the last few pringles so maybe this will make it easier?

    they could do with making a half sized tin as well though. there’s to much in these for a pig like me who has to eat everything in one go, and the small tins are just ridiculous, like you get what, 10 pringles in a tin?

    anyway i stopped buying these last year because theres too much packaging. there’s the metal on the bottom and the plastic lid, then foil mixed in with the cardboard. i saw some other brand that was all cardboard (on the outside at least) but fuck it i couldn’t be bothered anymore. its probably better not to be eating this shite in the first place

  9. Can someone explain in any detail the rumours of a dispute between Kelloggs and Musgraves as an explanation of why so many flavours (Original for example) have been out of stock more or less everywhere for around two weeks at this stage? What exactly is happening?
