Texas Woman Goes To Walmart. Then She Sees What The New Flavor of Pringles Is: ‘My Husband Is A Big Miller Lite Drinker’

One of the best things about the World Cup being in America this year is seeing European reactions to American snacks. So, in perhaps the most American recipe since cherry pie, Pringles has released a series of cross-branded flavors for summer 2026.

In Texas, one woman posted a TikTok with her plans for the newest entrants into the potato-chip flavor wars. Depending on who you ask, the flavors are either genius or utter horror shows.

Groundbreaking: Foods That Taste Like Other Foods

Despite looking a little skeptical in her video, Samantha Nyberg (@samanthadistefano1) says, “We gotta try these.”

Then, she pans the camera around. There, sitting on the Walmart shelf, are three cans of Pringles. Each has been cross-branded with Miller Lite beer and a specific food flavor. The flavors are beer-battered onion ring, beer cheeseburger, and beer-braised steak.

Nyberg says, “My husband is a Miller Lite drinker,” so she’s going to use him as a taste tester.

Comments Section Split: ‘Horrible’ Vs. ‘My Favorite’

Sadly, there’s no follow-up video. But the internet is fascinated—and impatient. So more than a few users share their experiences and assumptions.

The top comment is from the verified Walmart account, saying, “No need to thank me.”

But the gem that low-key encapsulates this particularly snack-a-licious moment might belong to Livvy (@oliviafontana). She commented, “That sounds nasty asf…how much? [staring eyeballs emoji].”

Next, there’s a brief debate about the relative (or assumed) healthiness factor of Pringles.

“They’re toxic af lol,” Niesey (juuleeyahgulia) said.

Olivia (@olivia_.2005) responded rhetorically, writing, “A beer battered onion ring chip was supposed to be healthy??”

The consensus on the Pringles flavors remains unsettled: There are those who found them “horrible.” Others have an actual favorite. “Yes omg the burger was my fav,” Nini (@ininikki92) shared.

Infusing Flavors Into Chip And Other Foods

If the thought of a beer-battered onion ring chip is offensive, then a haggis-flavored chip might be too much to consider. But why are there seemingly so many chip flavors now available?

The first flavored potato chip was dreamt up in America in the 1950s. Barbecue in flavor, it was a hit. And people wanted more. So food chemists got to work. Next came flavors like salt and vinegar, sour cream and onion, and prawn cocktail.

Flavors like sour cream or vinegar primarily come from powders that are infused with flavor. In the case of vinegar, the vinegar is sprayed onto a thin layer of maltodextrin (a light, slightly sweet, flavorless powder derived from starch). It’s then dried into a “robust powder” and sprinkled onto a chip or crisp, reports Serious Eats.

Is It Even A Chip?

Yet all this food science overlooks an important part of the Pringles story. In the comments, a few folks, like Brad Pullins (@bradpullins), note that Pringles aren’t even made from “real potatoes.” Taste of Home confirms that “Pringles aren’t chips at all—they’re crisps.”

And it’s more than a gustatory designation. In the U.S. in 1975, “The FDA decided that the company could call Pringles ‘chips’ only if they acknowledged the dried potato ingredient. So Pringles decided to use the term ‘crisps.’”

On the Pringles website, the company explains the crisps’ flavoring. “It is a waterfall process (seasoning gets sprinkled on) versus a tumbler like other chip processes,” it notes.

In a text message to BroBible, a representative of Kellanova (Pringles’ parent company) refused to discuss the flavoring process. “We really appreciate your enthusiasm for our Pringles® x Miller Lite® collaboration. Unfortunately, details about our flavor development process are confidential,” they said.

The seasoning itself is likely made using a process that balances human intervention against technical wizardry. Advances in food chemistry mean almost any food can be reduced to its chemical components. But balancing those chemicals is less science, more art.

Here’s hoping that our friends from across the pond stumble onto a can of beer-battered onion ring Pringles. And that someone is filming it.
