Rock The Floor

If you been reading my blog for a while, you’ll  know that there are a lot of Pringles flavors coming out all the time in Japan. I think they’re starting to run out of ideas for new names for the, because these latest two are a little bit strange. Like this one, “Night Star”.

Or how about “Rock The Floor”!?

In terms of flavor they were both good. The top one being a “nothing special” cheese flavor. The second on having a delectable Thai red curry taste. Mmmm yummy!

American Street

Here’s a couple strange Pringles flavors of late. They’re supposedly inspired by large American cities. The first being called “New Yorker’s Street” Cheese Dog flavor.

I basically tasted like cheese flavor Pringles. The other is “Los Angeles Street” BBQ Chicken.

I had no idea Los Angeles was known for BBQ chicken. I visited there a few years ago and never once had BBQ chicken. Lots of Mexican food, but no BBQ chicken.

Combo

I got this the other day at the supermarket. It’s called Doritos Combo. What it is, is a combination of two different flavors of tortilla chip. This particular one is “Roast Shrimp” mixed with “Garlic”. It tasted good, but I found it hard to differentiate between to two flavors. I think they had merged while jumbling around in the bag.

Kongari

Here’s a new type of potato chip. It’s not like the normal type. The texture is different, as well as the flavor. My wife proclaims these as her current favorite. They were pretty good. The mix of black pepper and garlic is a perfect combination. You can’t really go wrong with that.

Kebab

Adding to my frenzied need for middle eastern food is the newest selection from Pringles. Beef Kebab! This just makes me want to visit Canada even more. Please Japan let more people from the middle east come to your country. I need their food! (And while your at it let some more Mexicans in too!)

Sticks

Here’s yet another new type of Doritos. This time it’s in stick form. Unfortunately the Doritos scientist are getting lazy, because they taste the same as the plain old normal Doritos. The only new thing is their stick shape. Work harder Doritos scientists!

New Chips

Here’s a couple new flavors from chip maker Calbee. The first is “Black Curry”. The taste was only slightly different from the normal curry flavor that they have. It wasn’t bad though.

The second flavor is “Chili Shrimp”. It doesn’t so much taste like shrimp but more like the chili sauce of the dish. It was quite good. I have to admit, I’m biased. I really love the dish chili shrimp.

Pringles Napoletan

Here’s the latest flavor from Pringles. It’s Neapolitan spaghetti flavor. It’s actually kind of close to ketchup flavor, which makes sense since Japanese people seem to love putting ketchup in their pasta sauce. It wasn’t bad however.

Chips for Men

Doritos has this special line of chips for men. The biggest difference is they are thicker and harder. I guess they think men have stronger jaws. Anyways this flavor was spicy chili. It was very good I’d have to say. The other flavor I’ve seen in this line is black pepper. Pardon the slightly blurry photo, it was taken in haste.

Pringles And More Pringles

Here’s a couple of the new flavors available in Japan right now. The first is called “Cheese Carnival”. You can see all of the different kinds of cheese on the side of the can. It was pretty good. Although I don’t know if I could taste all of the different cheeses.

The second is “Spicy Chicken” flavor. It tasted kind of like KFC fried chicken. I liked this one a lot.

Both were good, and I might pick them up again before they disappear into the mist of the Pringles graveyard.
