Summer is almost over, which means fall – and football season – are on the horizon. Pringles and Buffalo Wild Wings are celebrating the return of football with a new lineup of chip flavors inspired by popular wing sauces.
The new lineup delivers a "flavor roster with a range of heat levels to satisfy every fan," the companies said in a news release, and includes:
- Parmesan Garlic: Features a tangy citrus note followed by aged parmesan, roasted garlic, Italian herbs and a hint of red spice.
- Medium Buffalo: Tangy Buffalo flavor with cayenne heat and a smooth buttery finish.
- Asian Zing: Brings a blitz of sweet heat with notes of tanginess from rice vinegar, followed by heat from chili peppers and balanced with a hint of soy sauce and ginger.
The new flavors will be available at select retailers beginning in July and will be widely available nationwide beginning in September, according to the news release. The suggested retail price is $2.69 per can.
"We’ve taken the unmistakable flavors people love from Buffalo Wild Wings and packed them into our iconic stackable crisps, creating a lineup that’s made for every kickoff, watch
party and tailgate," said Mauricio Jenkins, salty snacks brand and content lead for Mars Snacking North America, in the news release.
Tristan Meline, brand president for Buffalo Wild Wings, said the company is "excited to partner with Pringles to bring Buffalo Wild Wings flavors to snack lovers in a whole new way."

Pringles recently launched its own hot dog buns
Earlier this month, just ahead of National Hot Dog Day, Pringles announced the launch of Pringles Pop Dog Buns, a limited-edition line of potato-based hot dog buns infused with three of the company's fan-favorite flavors: Sour Cream & Onion, BBQ and Honey Mustard.
"This summer, we're bringing the 'Once You Pop' experience to the center of the plate," Mauricio Jenkins, salty snacks brand & content lead at Mars North America, said in a news release this month. "We wanted to take something everyone knows and completely flip it into an exciting new snackable experience."
While fans can no longer get the buns, the product was part of Pringles' new "Once You Pop" campaign, which aims to reimagine everyday foods through the lens of the brand's iconic flavors.
The launch follows a growing trend of brands creating limited-edition food mashups and novelty products designed to capture attention during the summer grilling season. For Pringles fans, that means one thing: hot dogs may never taste quite the same again.
