Pringles Quietly Debuts Brand-New Italian Meatballs Flavor

Over the past several decades, Pringles has consistently managed to find a way to bring out a new flavor inspired by some of the most beloved culinary dishes imaginable.

From classic pepperoni pizza to zesty and tangy buffalo wings, Pringles has long managed to create delicious chips based on traditional international fare. Fortunately, the iconic snack brand has once again managed to expand their product portfolio with yet another chip inspired by a midweek dinner staple.

According to Sporked, multiple shoppers have reported seeing cans of Italian Meatballs Pringles in their local supermarkets. While it's still not clear which grocery suppliers in particular are carrying the new chips, Shaw's has the item listed on their official website, making it one of the first providers to stock up on the new chip.

Interestingly, and as Sporked pointed out, the new flavor hasn't been accompanied by a formal announcement from Pringles, with the item simply popping up in stores without an official press release detailing the product.

However, judging from the basic flavor profile featured on the product's label, Pringles' Italian Meatballs are likely to model itself after traditional home-cooked meatballs, incorporating notes of meat, basil and tomato sauce.

"There's also the smallest suggestion of spaghetti peeking out of the bowl on its cover art, but given that most spaghetti, in its plain form, doesn't taste of much at all, this probably isn't going to be the presiding note," Sporked highlighted.

Of course, the new Italian Meatballs Pringles isn't the only new chip flavor to arrive from the beloved snack brand. Earlier this year, the company confirmed the best-selling Spicy Loaded Nachos will be available throughout the summer, mainly to coincide with the upcoming World Cup.

Combining notes of nacho cheese, jalapenos and other savory ingredients, the Spicy Loaded Nachos are the perfect snack to enjoy for any sporting event, be it the World Cup or simply watching the next baseball game from the comfort of your living room.
