Tinfoil Chef

I think Pringles first appeared with their unique all-the-same-shape chips stacked in a can sometime in the 1970s. I remember that they were a major hit and it seemed that everybody loved the things. I know that anytime my parents brought any home it was pretty much a forgone conclusion that they’d be gone within twenty four hours or less (usually less).

Over the years they settled into the background along with most other snacks and chips until they made a bit of a stir by coming out with new varieties.. a cheddar cheese flavor and sour cream & onion. The sour cream & onion quickly became my favorite and for years it was sort of the snack equivalent of discount furniture… Almost always as good as the more expensive counterparts and priced a heck of a lot better.

Now they’ve come out with several new varieties recently (or it was a while ago and they’ve only just now made it out here to the sticks, I don’t know)… The Philly Cheesesteak was one that just had to be tried. Just exactly how they managed to capture that taste and make it part of potato crisps I can’t say, but they’ve done a pretty good job. It’s also complicated my snack choices by giving me yet another thing that I really like to choose from.. (like I really needed another choice in that department!)
