After we got home from grocery shopping today, we had an ad in our mail from ÖoB. Something caught Nero's eye... They were advertising Pringles at a mere 11 kronor a pop, which is a good deal as it is... but what she noticed was in that one of the three Pringles they used in the photo was the blue (salt and vinegar) one.

So as soon as I figured up smoking the water pipe, we hopped back in the car to check it out. We were both a bit skeptical... I was thinking they were just using some stock-photo of Pringles for the ad and that it wasn't an accurate reflection of what flavors they had in, but damn was I lucky it was for real!

Sure enough they had Salt and Vinegar Pringles!!! I bought 10 cans at a fucking hell of a good deal.

In case this is all confusing to you, or you're wondering why I'd get so excited about this, it's really simple. Swedes don't like flavor. The chip selection they sell over here usually sucks. There's only one store that we know of within a 30 minute drive that even sells Doritos, and it's been at least 3 or 4 years since I remember seeing Salt and Vinegar Pringles at a normal store. I say a "normal" store, because if we drive all the way out to Malmo we can buy them at the American store Grays, but like everything else in that store - it's a fucking rip off @ 39 kronor a can.

In other words, I paid about the same for these 10 cans of Pringles as I would pay to get 3 cans of them if I went through the American import store! Now you should get why I am excited!

Oh and for the record... there is a Swedish company that makes Salt and Vinegar chips again finally.. They started with it a little over a year ago (and I of course bought like 20 packs then in case it was a temp thing) - those chips suck. There is barely even any taste of vinegar in them, and I'm sure it's simply because the tame-taste-buds Swedish folk have. Salt and Vinegar Pringles are shit loads better than them, so I'm a happy camper!

quoting "xcom":

the company that makes pringles is native to Cincy so they try a lot more flavors around here.  Most of them suck like dill pickles and stuff.  But if you're ever interested I can get them pretty cheap.

dill pickles? that sounds so gross. Cheese and onion is my favorite.

well it's sort of like a mix of sour cream and chives with cheddar and bacon..... my favorite by far... and I don't even like sour cream.

I like sour cream and onion a bit, but it's not one of my favorites, though I'll always eat chips with that flavor and enjoy them. I used to like them much more than I do now.

I don't believe we even have the cheddar ones over here! We used to have one called "cheese-ums" but they don't seem to be making those anymore.

Out of all chip flavors salt and vinegar is probably my favorite... then again, I love basically anything with lots of vinegar in it. Actually, instead of using the cooking/food vinegars they have over here, I use the cleaning vinegar in my food instead cause I need it to be really strong!

I hate salt and vinegar. I like sour cream and onion, and the cheddar ones.
