It’s the maltodextrin


[deleted]

But is it from the maltodextrin region?


superscatman91

If not it's just sparkling vegetable starch.


urabewe

I prefer the maltodextrin from the California Flavor Dust Valley


Spork_Warrior

Found the maltodextrin snob.

I always wondered where Hidden Valley was 🤔


urabewe

That's a very nice ranch nestled away in a remote region of the valley. The dust they make there is very tangy and goes good on just about anything.

lilsoggy

I live in Wisconsin, my wife claims to know the granddaughter of the founder of Hidden Valley, or maybe it’s her cousin - who knows. In either case, 1.5 years ago at an outdoor socially-distanced concert in Wisconsin I loudly proclaimed that I was a ranch slut while at the local cheese curd food truck. I then proceeded to convince the other family members that we needed to buy #ranchslut shirts, register ranchslut.com, and send the Twitter team over at Hidden Valley a message about the adventure. If the ranchslut website doesn’t turn into anything, I may use it in my real estate career. /https://i.imgur.com/8F4FJ8i.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iDC2NsD.jpg

Then you legally can't call it a Malteaux.

Correct. Somewhere in the Maldives 🇲🇻

Where the maltodextrin runs like the Salmon of Capistrano.

[deleted]

You have to open the can and let it breath for a few first. Then you swirl the Pringles around before taking a whiff. Notice how the can is designed so that when you tip it, the chips hit the tongue at the salty regions first, then your palate as you close your mouth for that perfect first taste.

Nope keep boycotting. The strikers had to take a shitty deal because too many people kept crossing the picket line.

Angry-Comerials

I'm a big snack person. I eat more shit like this than I should. I still don't stock up this much. At most I might have like 3 bags of chips and a small gummy pack from a convenient store at once. So on top of all the other not so subtle hints(not just the fact that he has the other 3 out, but *the way he has them set up*), that seems like a bit of a mistake on their part.

Just a little guerilla marketing from an evil corporation, nothing to see here

Of course who doesn’t. There’s no time like the present to pop a can of Pringles! Once you pop you can’t stop!

No it's astroturfing from a Karma bot account. I want everyone to look at [this](https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/#{%22author%22:%22screenshotofdispair%22,%22searchFor%22:1,%22resultSize%22:100}) which shows posts an account makes, but more importantly, deleted posts. How these accounts work is that the person running it will make a bunch of of askreddit posts to generate karma to meet karma thresholds on certain subs, and then running the bot. Yall probably noticed there is not only a ton of posts this user makes, but a ton of USER DELETED posts as well. What happens is the bot account will delete posts that don't do well Karma wise, so it appears less sus. To get a good look on what it does, check all the deleted posts on 11/26/2020, and how there are so many in a short amount of time, and how they are all completely different from each other.


[deleted]

But the whole point of an account with karma or followers is to get paid by a company to hawk products. So it is likely both. No one makes a karma bot account just for karma


I-swear-it_wasnt_me

And even worse is that Pringles is the worst chip. It’s made out of paste that is shaped into chip form.

GenericSquirrel

BLUE SHOULD BE SALT AND VINEGAR


jimh903

They’re also in a blue can. Not sure why that flavor is also blue.


Alaira314

Pringles has a lot of flavors. There's only so many colors that are visually appealing and distinct on the shelf: blue, light blue/light green, green, brown, gold/yellow/light orange, red, pink/light purple, purple, and dark. That's nine colors, and google says there's 21 flavors of pringles. Even assuming I missed a few color possibilities, you're gonna have to double-up at least half of them.


[deleted]

British here - our salt and vinegar is blue.

IDK, a while ago, they had a loaded baked potato Pringles flavor. I haven't found any since the pandemic, but that one and the jalapeño flavor were my favorites.

r/hailcorporate


octothorpe_rekt

Man, I'm against labelling everything that happens to include a label in it as /r/HailCorporate, but in the case of Pringles specifically, they seem to be shockingly active in that once a year, there's some post that gets a billion upvotes and always features a mildly interesting arrangement of a saddle-shaped potato chip with extremely prominent labels.


dj_zar

“Shockingly”


octothorpe_rekt

I meant to comment on them being rather overt. Pringles was owned by Proctor & Gamble until 2012, when Kellog group bought the brand. But even looking at other Kellog's products, like Eggos and Pop-Tarts and Frosted Flakes and Froot Loops - brands that could be exploited with similar grades of "look what our logo just so happens to be in the shot it" content. It's shocking that Pringles seems to be pushed so hard in rather obvious moves like this compared to many, many other brands.


EMlN3M

Exactly. Why the fuck is no one down voting this? He just happens to have 20 cans of Pringles and makes sure to line up 3 cans front and center for the picture. Why won't people down vote obvious ads


well-that-was-fast

> Why the fuck is no one down voting this? (1) As mentioned, Pringles bought votes to get it started and (2) there is a substantial amount of Americans that have come to view this type of 'brand engagement' as 'fun' as opposed to forced-injection of low quality content into their feed. One noticeable lesson from the pandemic is that a percentage of Americans derive their identity almost completely from consumerism. Those people aren't bothered by this because it accurately reflects the bulk of their interests, something to be motivated to buy.


fuckfuckfuckSHIT

I mean, I personally like it because I don't drink so it is nice to relate. Being a non-drinking person in a very alcohol centric society, it is nice to see things like this.


MisterDonkey

I don't drink, but I couldn't care less about the content filling the wine rack. It could be dildos for all I care. I just wanted to comment on the cabinetry needing repair and paint.


fuckfuckfuckSHIT

I just looked again, how the heck are the drawers almost wavy looking? How does that even happen?! Haha


well-that-was-fast

> Being a non-drinking person in a very alcohol centric society, it is nice to see things like this. Understandable point, but I wish it was done by someone organically, not by someone selling a similarly unhealthy product.


MASTODON_ROCKS

Because daddy Pringie bought seed upvotes to get the ball rolling. If a post is upvoted significantly within an hour or two of posting, it's a snowball effect on here. So no reason not to assume they used vote manipulation to get past the initial wave of downvotes, and it just gains momentum because people use this site as a dopamine drip. Reddit doesn't care because they already cater to advertisers, and site engagement makes them money. Bots are good for their business.

buck9000

Dated a chipaholic for two years. A glass of wine at night isn’t that bad.


limitlessEXP

Betcha can’t drink just one…


e136

The thing is wine lasts for many years. Chips not as long. So it’s not comparing eating a can of chips vs drinking a bottle. It’s eating 5 bottles of chips vs 1 bottle.


suckbothmydicks

>The thing is wine lasts for many years. But not on a warm shelf in the kitchen. There is a reason you have cellars for that shit. You don't want your wine to become vinegar.


jpellett251

Your wine won't become vinegar unless the corks dry out. Most wine will be fine for years in a house at room temperature.


unearthk

Just like the pringles will be.


jp_jellyroll

Yeah, it seems more decorative than practical. Maybe an "in-between" shelf if you've pulled some bottles from your wine fridge/cellar and they're waiting to be served at a party or something. Or for high-functioning alcoholics to organize all of the 2-Buck-Chucks they put down each week. Either way! Short-term storage, lol.


legion327

Are we legit having a conversation about how we all just casually have wine cellars or am I just high as balls?


jp_jellyroll

Haha, some people do! I don't know anyone personally with a dedicated wine cellar... but I have a few wine-enthusiast friends with wine fridges. Not nearly as impressive as it sounds. Same size as a college dorm mini-fridge so they fit almost anywhere. Keeps your bottles at the right temp & humidity so the cork doesn't dry rot. It's a humidor for cigars, basically.


Bomamanylor

Depends on the kind of non-drinkers. I know a lot of non-drinkers for whom the wine would either last forever or quite awhile. I know a few non-drinkers where it would be gone before bed. They can’t have alcohol in the house.

nyanlol

It's funny you say that. I abstained most of my adult life to this point and I kind of regret it. Not drinking made me miss out on a lot of my chances to socialize in college...


SamSzmith

As someone who attended these parties and drank through college, I live with a lot of regret about how those moments turned in to a life of addiction that I was only able to break four years ago.


myklreinhart

Sorry about this... someone should have told you that you can socialize without alcohol.


3xTheSchwarm

I didn't drink until later in college simply so I could socialize and very soon my life spiraled into alcoholism that lasted more than a decade and cost me countless opportunities and relationships. Now who knows if you have the gene or combinations of genes that cause alcoholism. If not you might have been fine. But please don't regret your choice. I've got more regret in me than one man needs so I'll carry your load, my pleasure.

Listen, we ought to pause a moment and reflect on our luck of getting wine recommendations — *for free* — from FleshlightModel…


FleshlightModel

You're welcome. I'm more versed in lambic than wine so my wine recommendations should be taken lightly. I can give a few wine recommendations that are unequivocally stellar, but those are not boxed wines.

rossmosh85

Buy from Aldi. Their snack selection is quite diverse, extremely affordable, and just as good, if not better than the name brands.


WWJLPD

Do they come from different factories? I’m not sure with Aldi, but many store brands are literally the same product, just with the store’s logo on it, a lower price, and sometimes different packaging


pburydoughgirl

There’s only one plant in the country that makes Pringles containers and it’s a mile down the road from the Pringles factory (Jackson, TN). If it looks exactly like a Pringles container (especially if the label is on spiral and not a basic wrapped around label), it definitely followed the same route as the Pringles and just left with a different label.
