Pringles isn't scared to play around with new flavor concepts, and this year, they put together an entire Thanksgiving meal's worth of flavors in one package.
With eight different familiar flavors, Pringles' Thanksgiving Dinner consists of turkey, mashed potato, stuffing, mac & cheese, creamed corn, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.
Each pack comes with three of each flavor, and it's even in a container that sort of looks like a baking pan, just to add to the home kitchen feel.
While they sent us a package and got us all excited for its release, it looks like they're only testing the product, as of now, and won't be available in retail stores this year.
Womp womp.
Still, in case they ever do release these all at once, or individually, we went ahead and tried them for you.
With so many flavors, they're weren't all hits, but there are a lot of good flavors in this dinner — just depends what you're into.

HITS
There are the flavors that we generally thought were pretty good.
Turkey
Let's start with the main course. The turkey flavor actually has a near identical flavor. Well, at least a very gravy like taste, and we're not mad. As the crew around the Foodbeast office tried it, the reviews were fairly positive. At least they didn't mess up the main dish.
__________
Creamed Corn
This one was our managing editor Reach Guinto's favorite, and it had an interesting dynamic as it was savory, but also had a hint of sweetness to it. I personally liked it as well, but also think it might not be for everyone, as it's not flavor comparable to anything before it, and might take some getting used to if it were a standalone. Plus points go to capturing the buttery flavor.
__________
Stuffing
The stuffing might be the best flavor of the bunch, and would definitely be a banger as a standalone flavor. A lot of eyes in the office lit up when trying the stuffing-flavored chip. It really did taste like stuffing which can really fuck with you mentally coming from a Pringle crisp.

__________
Pumpkin Pie
This one was hit-or-miss, but if you're a fan of pumpkin everything, you'd probably enjoy it. The pumpkin flavor wasn't too overwhelming, but it's probably not a chip you'd keep reaching for. It's just kind of good.
__________
Mashed Potato
Rudy Cheney of our dev team put it best, as he said, "It tastes like a potato chip," which makes sense, since it's potato flavor. "It tastes like an unflavored Pringle." This one wasn't good or bad, it was just there.
__________
Cranberry Sauce
"It screams fruity, but it doesn't taste like cranberry," said our resident food scientist Constantine Spyrou. There were hints of some kind of fruit, but for the most part, there wasn't a lot of flavor to it.

GTFO
Mac & Cheese
"Whoa, this one kind of smells like butt," another classic quote from our own Rudy Cheney, and yeah, it wasn't the best smelling or tasting of the bunch. It literally tasted like uncooked Kraft mac & cheese powder.
__________
Green Bean Casserole
It tasted like they just dusted the chip with onion powder. If you were to take plain Pringles and add your own onion powder to it, it'd probably taste like this green bean casserole. It's like a real green bean casserole in the sense that you look at it and say, "Why am I gonna eat veggies for thanksgiving?" Hard pass.
