Why Do Good Products Dissappear?

Welcome back!

Last January I did a review of an at the time new variety of the famous Pringles potato crisps. This new flavor featured chips that came with Philadelphia resumes, specifically I’m talking about the, Philly Cheesesteak Pringles.

Unfortunately, I found out soon after that while I was Annoyed With WalMart for no longer carrying it, that the real reason was that they had been discontinued.

Some things are honestly beyond my understanding and one of them is why a company would discontinue a product that was enjoying so much success. In the case of the aforementioned Philly Cheesesteak Pringles, the product had met with considerable success. Before it was discontinued, Walmart and other stores in our area were unable to keep them on the shelves.

Frankly, Aside from the original and the Sour Cream and Onion flavors, this was without doubt the best variety that Pringles had ever come out with and yet all we get is a flash in the pan… a brief taste of something good and a chance to decide we really like it and it’s taken away and replaced with things that mostly taste like each other.

The Backed potato and Cheeseburger varieties of Pringles are sorta ok, but honestly they both taste pretty much the same. The Macaroni & Cheese variety didn’t even fair that well, not having much taste at all. Yet Philly Cheesesteak, a flavor loved by so many they couldn’t keep it on the shelves, is discontinued.
