Pringles Seasonal Flavor "Cinnamon & Sugar"
プリングルスの期間限定フレーバー「シナモン&シュガー」

(Japanese follows / 日本語は以下に続く)

The other day, we're at Target and found a lack filled with weird snacks for clearance sale.
One of them was "Cinnamon & Sugar" from Pringles and we're talking how disgusting it sounded.
Then, an employee who was sorting goods in another aisle said that it wasn't that bad as it sounded and he made a cream cheese frosting dip for the chips and they went great.
We decided to try one; not only because it sounds weird but also the employee kind of suggested.
It was 1.52 dollars but as it's on sale, it was 1.28 dollars.

This is the package.
There's a cup holding cinnamon sticks on the package.

I was already scared what it'd be like when we bought it.

According to some articles, this holiday seasonal flavor has been available from early in November for a limited time. 
As we're not in the states yet at that time, it's my first time to even know about this product.

On the lid, it says, "Bursting with flavor" and when I opened it, I could smell sweet cinnamon flavor.

Not only the scent, I could see brown powder on the side of the chips.

A single chip. 
You can see the dots with some crystal powder on it.

The other side, there're more powders and looked more brown on the edge.

When I tried a piece, I couldn't tell if it's good or bad.
And a second piece didn't give me any clear answer either.
To summarize the flavor, it's cinnamon & sugar indeed, and somehow it tasted similar to pumpkin pie but instead it's not pumpkin but it's potatoes.

It was not something I'd think a tasty snack, but on the other hand, I kind of "understand" the concept and idea, which I mean that not everything would be flavorful or pleasant to me but some would like it.

ターゲットで買い物中にプリングルスの期間限定フレーバー
「シナモン&シュガー」を発見。

「気持ち悪い、まずそう」と夫と話していたら、
隣の陳列棚を整理していた従業員が
「そんなに悪くはなかったよ。
手作りのクリームチーズのフロスティングをディップにしたら
美味しかった。」と話しかけてきたことと、
クリアランスセールで1.28ドルになってたので、
試しに購入してみた。

食べる前からドキドキしたが、
開けてみるとシナモンの甘~い香りがした。
ポテトチップス x シナモンシュガーは、
今まで食べたことがあるようで、
食べたことがないような味。

上手く表せないけれど、パンプキンパイっぽい味。
ただし、カボチャではなくジャガイモで作ったパイ。
そのため、カボチャ特有の甘さではなく、
シナモンシュガーが前面に出てきて、
そこにジャガイモ(ポテトチップス)の味が付いてくる印象。

美味しくはないが、不味くもない。
ただ、「ホリデーシーズン」のフレーバーという
商品構想は理解できる一品。
