Pringles plans to introduce its Jamaican Jerk chip in March 2017, but it will be available only at the Walgreen’s chain of retailers. The flavor took second place in a survey asking customers what new kinds of Pringles they would like to see; Cheddar BBQ was the favorite and has been made available in the past. Other new Pringles flavors will include Sweet Thai Chili and Original Hot Sauce. While those who have sampled the Jerk chip is “reminiscent” of authentic jerk flavor, tasting smoky, salty, and having a “definite spicy kick.” Pringles Jerk chip includes paprika, onion and garlic powder among its ingredients, along with smoke flavoring. It does not include thyme or Scotch Bonnet pepper, which are essential to real jerk seasoning.
