News Reporter 14:52, 05 Feb 2025 A month on from their arrival on supermarket shelves, crisp aficionados are still scratching their heads over the true flavour of Pringles' latest
enigmatic offering. The snack giant unveiled a 'Mystery Flavour' as part of a limited edition Super Mario series at the tail end of 2024 – sparking widespread speculation among
fans. A photo of its distinctive silver tube was posted to Reddit on Wednesday (February 5), igniting fresh discussions among consumers about what the crisps actually taste like. "
Okay, so what flavour actually are these?" questioned the curious buyer. The post attracted a flurry of responses from Brits eager to share their theories, with one commenter asserting:
"Apparently its pizza flavour. Pringles haven't said, but loads of people said it tastes like pizza." A second chimed in: "Grabbed a tin the other day, tastes like
Paprika and Texas barbecue at the start then gets really spicy, it's alright if you like spicy things." Article continues below Meanwhile, a third person admitted to being equally
as baffled. They said: "I bought these and at first me and the kids thought prawn but then the spice kicked in and we couldn't place the flavour for toffee." Elsewhere, others
referenced plumber Mario's Italian roots as a clue, one of which speculated: "They are sort of tomatoey, with a little tingle. Probably pizza/pasta if you had to put it in a
category." Another suggested: "Looking at the ingredients list it's like the pepperoni pizza flavour. It has paprika and cheese so that's my best guess." However,
someone else was clearly unimpressed by the offering, penning: "By far the worst flavour yet." So would you give them a go? Crisp lovers have until May to deduce the mystery
themselves. Launching their new snack in December, Pringles said in a press release: "Pringles, the leading gaming snack, has today launched a new, nostalgia-powered campaign rooted in
