Pringles is launching a new range of thicker, sturdier and wavier chips specifically designed for dipping, in what it describes as its first-ever crisp engineered for the job Sabrina Carpenter touted Pringles in one of the biggest fan-favorite ads for the 2026 NFL Super Bowl Others suggested swapping Pringles for sturdier alternatives such as wavy or kettle-style chips instead.Now, Pringles appears to have taken note.According to Pringles, Dippers have a unique scoopy, curvy shape that is thicker and structurally sturdier than its standard crisps.The company says the design is intended to make the snack better suited to holding dips without breaking, while retaining the familiar parabolic shape that has made Pringles instantly recognizable.The Original version delivers the familiar salty and savory Pringles flavor, while French Onion combines caramelized onion notes with a creamy, tangy flavor.For something more indulgent, Bacon Cheddar combines bold cheddar with smoky bacon.And while the new chips are being marketed specifically as dipping vessels, Pringles says they can also be eaten straight from the can.'We know it can be frustrating if your typical salty dipping vessel prevents your perfect scoop or breaks as you dip, which is why we've created Pringles Dippers,' said Eileen Flaherty-Yao, senior director of Salty, Mars Snacking North America.'Our iconic parabolic shape is now thicker and wavier than ever – built to handle any dipping style from light dips to heavy scoops.' Earlier this summer, the company made headlines with another decidedly unconventional creation: Pringles Pop Dog Buns 'Pringles are not ideal for dipping in general,' one commenter wrote, while another said they would 'crumble the minute they hit a dip'The products are due to arrive on shelves nationwide beginning in September.The company isn't stopping with sturdier crisps. It is also expanding its Pringles Mingles range with a new Sweet & Salty flavor.The bowtie-shaped puffed snacks are inspired by the style of Pringles mascot Mr. P and have a light, airy texture.The new version combines buttery sweetness with a salty finish, giving fans another option beyond the traditional potato crisp.Both launches are part of a broader push by Pringles to experiment with unusual formats and flavors rather than simply sticking to its familiar cans of curved crisps.
