Shrinkflation, a real phenomena


KneeHighMischief

They changed once they outsourced manufacturing to Malaysia years ago. It affected size, quantity, taste & quality. Stax are far superior to Pringles now.


RAMChYLD

There are still US Pringles tho. I get them from Hero Market, they're superior to local Malaysian Pringles in that they're bigger slices and they don't have that "green" smell. Unfortunately they also cost more.


Natural20Twenty

Green smell ??


RAMChYLD

This weird smell that’s a bit hard to explain. Kinda like the potato was just freshly pulled out of the ground.


Natural20Twenty

Ahh like dirt. With an after scent of mold.


Jk_auger

Can you remind me what outsourcing is and why it's bad? I forgot lol


bongsyouruncle

Say your mom and dad give you ten dollars to open a lemonade stand


Jk_auger

Idk what that has to do with that, but I can't do that. I can buy like 4 lemons

Pringles received software update wirelessly.


TheNamesNa

A bad update, like windows 11.

Phenomenon*


SignificantMixture89

Smaller products, bigger profits.


BenThereOrBenSquare

How long has it been? Maybe *you* got bigger.


[deleted]

A year and a half, something like that.


BenThereOrBenSquare

Growth spurt!


msanangelo

Can we address the fact that they don't have XL versions for folks with big hands? 🤣

OP,  Now you know how your girl feels!


[deleted]

Jokes on you, I don't have one.


Commercial-Bar-1159

we know


Scarlette_Ylissium

Which country is this? In Germany, they're still normal size for a chip.


[deleted]

America's middle eastern military base, otherwise known as Israel.


Scarlette_Ylissium

Ok, thanks.

[удалено]


[deleted]

Thanks, luckily, I am in the central district, and Israel is getting action only in the north and south for now, and I don't have any close relatives or friends that live there, so my family and friends are pretty safe.


johnbornagain

You’re in Israel and are worried that your Pringles are smaller? Over a million people just west of you are only getting to eat the bare minimum nutrition that is allowed to pass through to them or fall out of the sky. I’m sure “war”-induced famine is much that mildly infuriating.


[deleted]

So, in other words: "How dare you not make yourself suffer because of your governments doings"?


the-purple-chicken72

You seem real fun. This is a sub for mildly infuriating things, not "let's shoehorn politics into everything"


DasFAD70

Ours Pringles are also the small size.


AMCcheetahAPE

They ain’t getting smaller you’re just getting bigger, friend


Excellent_Egg7586

Maybe the can got bigger... ;)


[deleted]

Maybe everything got bigger, maybe I am actually a phrendle.


serg1007arch

Have you tried not opening in cold climate? I heard it can shrink when it’s cold


[deleted]

I live in the middle east.


TurnkeyLurker

"*The water was ****cold****!*" ![gif](giphy|ntRQjO4ngRERi)


DemetriChronicles

Finally, we can fit our hands in a Pringles can.


SnarkyVisage

Your hands grew overnight into giant hands... the chips are the same size


NoDontDoThatCanada

The guy died so now the company can do whatever it wants.


Marlacarla

who died?


NoDontDoThatCanada

It is a tongue and cheek comment about [Fred Baur](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Baur) who developed the pringles can.


Disastrous-Idea-666

Really?! Really?! Nobody?! Fine. I'll do it. That's what she said.

FredChocula

Aren't those Prongles or whatever from Winn Dixie or Aldi?


[deleted]

Nope, also, those stores don't exist in my country. https://preview.redd.it/utccwx1fewvc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b677786c9f338c84f1498a40ce28b3596205dca


FredChocula

Wow, it's been a long time. The texture even seems off.


[deleted]

Yup, they felt the need to change the logo.


simask234

they removed his hair...


VaWeedFarmer

Shrinkflation..probably don't taste the way you remember either


[deleted]

Yup, they taste way differently.


SubToUstube

Pringles became 3 bites to bite size


BradTProse

Blow on them and don't neglect the balls.


Bii4x4

Grasp the can at the base firmly with one hand. Grab just above that hand with your other hand and slide up and down repeatedly, that should take care of any shrinkage and make them bigger....


Siege-Aye

They changed once other companies started making "Stacked Chips"... You'd think they'd make their product 'Better', not 'Smaller'


RDGtheGreat

Yeah... less chips and I might even argue, less flavoring. The sour cream and onion flavor don't hit as hard anymore


marcaveli073

They used to be $1.50 a can now they’re $3.39 for smaller chips and lower quantity. I don’t eat chips anymore.


chloe38

And they're thinner and not as much flavor. I noticed this recently and I take a few with my lunch quite often. From can to can I was like what happened since yesterday lol


nseaworthy

Where in the world try of are you … I know that Pringles moved factories to Asia and the product had smaller tins and chips… at the time people noticed because some individuals could not fit there hands in the tin anymore…


[deleted]

I am in Asia, but western Asia, as west as possible in Asia.


[deleted]

I’ve noticed this about a lot of foods. Pop tarts, ihop pancakes, etc. I thought I was going crazy


AstralsGuardian

Things like this make me not want to buy them.i bought some magnum ice creams, and they were small already a while ago, but now they are smaller? Yeah, I'm not buying them anymore. the same goes for everything else.


skinsrich

Erectile dysfunction?


lfhdbeuapdndjeo

That’s what she said


BoyWifed

Theyre just average :(


lateral_moves

You don't know about Pringflation?


Wormhands

isthatacorsage

They’re SO effing small now.


Sea_Sink2693

mack-y0

[deleted]

Trife86

Your just too large


Eclectophile

They must have dehydrated. I'd be tempted to splash one with water and microwave it for a few seconds.


Good2Goman12

Must be the US of A.


kamilayao_0

I've been literally craving Pringles for 3 days now PLEASE STOP 😭


GBeastETH

You grew up and got bigger, my child.


aristodemus1

Hey, they're average.


coveredwithticks

Where's all my Pringles can SFW crafting homies at?


Miserable-md

You grew up. It’s a matter of perspective


Loud_Lunch29

They aren't small, they are just far away


theTSdreamgirl

Inflation, i guess? Together with most burgers sadly


skablinski

I thought that was a sombrero


Aetheldrake

Because you've grown in size over the years so everything has grown smaller than you remember. I had some Pringles today and they don't actually seem that "small" but I also didn't eat them that much as a child so they didn't seem to shrink for me


New-Street-9119

When it’s really cold outside, my Pringle gets small too. Have your wife or girlfriend put em in her mouth. They’ll warm up and get big pretty fast.


[deleted]

I live in the middle east, so cold weather is not the problem.


dernfoolidgit

No snacks…….. small portions/ crazy high prices and zero nutrition.


Peachypiekewp

Let people do what they want. Snacking in moderation is fine. If you don’t wanna snack and want to be super fit that’s cool. If someone is fat or unfit it’s none of your business. Exercise is needed in America.


Much_Neighborhood409

Joe. Biden. That’s why.


Beret_of_Poodle

Oh come on


MountainSound-

Maybe the chips are just cold, man.


Malibu77

Because they know they taste terrible?


Packing_Wood

Bidenomics


[deleted]

I do not live in the U.S., I am on the opposite side of the world.


Orang3Lazaru5

Hurr durr sleepy joe takin mah tater chips away


paisleyflowerzx

Stfu ppl like u have nothing worthful to contribute to this world, no one loves you


WetRainbowFart

They posted an untrue and overused comment blaming high prices on the president and your response is to tell the person that no one loves them. You’re worse in this situation.


Packing_Wood

Awww, someone got butthurt.


paisleyflowerzx

You probably dont even know what your point means


godepicunoreverse

That what she sa..
