So I go down to the mar­ket today to buy some snacky type foods. I find some man­darin oranges, and I pick up a Cup O’ Noo­dles because I recently ate my last one (The creamy chicken is the best). I round the cor­ner to the chip isle…the deadly pit of all things greasy, salty, fla­vored and crispy.

I gave in…I had to get some Pringles.

As I was perus­ing the fla­vors I find the stan­dard reg­u­lar, sour cream, and BBQ fla­vors, the slightly less stan­dard ched­dar and salt & vine­gar fla­vors, and then I find some­thing com­pletely different.

Potato fla­vored potato chips

Yes I know this is com­pletely ridicu­lous and absurd and while tech­ni­cally speak­ing the proper name is “Loaded Baked Potato” (there­fore lead­ing me to expect slight hints of bacon, ched­dar and sour cream all rolled into one with the pos­si­bil­ity of green flecks made to rep­re­sent chives) it still boils down to potato-flavored potatoes…

I’ve nearly fin­ished the entire tube and they were pretty much what I expected. The duck-beak-shaped crisps stacked so neatly atop one another that will sat­isfy any crav­ing for that some­thing salty, but I’m still slightly per­turbed by this.

Am I the only one?
