Taste Test

Have you ever noticed just how many different flavors of Pringles there are? Seriously, there's a lot of them. So, as a fun and interesting way to start off our summer break, I decided to buy 7 different varieties of Pringles, and set up a taste test to see what The 5 Aces thought about them. Here's how they stacked up (pun intended):

Extreme Screamin' Dill Pickle - 1 thumb up, 4 thumbs down
* Let me just say that I am the only person in our family who likes pickles, and I LOVED these chips. These were my favorite of the group.

Ketchup - 2 thumbs up, 3 thumbs down
* They tasted more like tomato soup than ketchup. Still, the flavor was not too overwhelming, which made them enjoyable for Hector and I. I thought these would have been Avery's favorite, but they weren't.

Loaded Baked Potato - 3 thumbs up, 2 thumbs down
* These were Hector's favorite. Strong sour cream and bacon flavors, but a little weak on the cheese and chive flavors. The most surprising thing about these chips was that the texture and main flavor of the chip matched that of a baked potato skin. It was an unexpected, but nice, surprise.

Restaurant Cravers Mexican Layered Dip - 4 thumbs up, 1 thumb down
* These were really good, and by far the majority favorite. I had to pry the container of chips away from Hector, and then from Avery, so that I could get some more... HA! These were Avery's favorite of the group.

Pringles Original - 4 thumbs up, 1 thumb down
* I really wanted to throw in 1 flavor of chip that I thought Samuel might actually eat and enjoy. I mean, how can you go wrong with Pringles Original? But sadly enough, Samuel refused to sample any of the chips. Which is why there's always at least 1 thumb down on all of these. :-( But these were Isaac's favorite.

Not included in the picture are the Pringles Extreme Blastin' Buffalo Wings and Extreme Hoppin' Horseradish. Hector and I were the only ones willing to try both of these. He and I both really enjoyed the Blastin' Buffalo Wings, but the Hoppin' Horseradish chips were Horrible! And I like horseradish, but these were NOT good. My advise... stay away from them!
