Pringles is no stranger to creating fun chip flavors for consumers in Japan but its newest creation gives fans the chance to enjoy Pringles x Super Cup noodles outside of snacktime. The stir-fried noodle meal takes flavor cues from sour cream and onion chips with a rich sauce that's packed with garlic, onion and parsley.
The novelty noodle meal is boldly branded with the face of the Pringles mascot, making sure that it stands out on store shelves. Fusing snacktime and mealtime, the noodle dish is a meal that promises to be just as easy to prepare as popping open a canister of crisps.
At the same time Super Cup created chip-inspired noodle bowls, Pringles also announced two exclusive noodle-flavored chip snacks.
