Pringles fans know there is nothing like peeling back the silver foil on a crisp tube and enjoying the flavoursome crisps, but it's even better on holiday when you can discover weird and wonderful flavours in local shops.

It's always frustrating when you find a new flavour you love, but can't buy it in the UK, but a new Pringles flavour has sent fans into a frenzy and has been dubbed "top tier".

Shoppers have been racing to get their hands on Ketchup flavoured Pringles. "You can indulge your love for the most amazing tomato product under the sun with our Pringles Ketchup Flavour Potato Chips," said a Pringles spokesperson. The new flavour has been spotted in Canada stores, as well as some parts of Europe, but fans have realised you can purchase them from some UK shelves too.

Ketchup-flavoured Pringles are currently being sold at Farmfoods for £1.95 a tube. They are available at 300 Farmfoods stores across the UK. You can find your nearest store by using the locator tool on Farmfoods' website. For further information on where you can buy the crisps see the Pringles website.

People have been running to the supermarket to get their hands on the crisps. The crisp flavour was sold in the UK for a limited time in 2017 in Asda stores and in Sainsbury's in 2022 but hasn't been spotted since.

Now, Farmfoods is currently the only major UK store selling the crisps. But B&M is reportedly also going to be selling the popular flavour soon.

Speaking about their love for the flavour, fans have been sharing their reactions on social media. "Ketchup Pringles are the greatest," one said on X. "Ketchup Pringles are top-tier," added another.

A snap of the Pringles was shared on the Food Finds UK Official page, and hundreds shared their thoughts. "They taste so good," said one. "I want them please," added another. "My son would love these," another commented.

Earlier this year Pringles confirmed that they would be changing its iconic tube packaging so shoppers can more easily recycle it. The new tube is made from recycled paper and has a paper base, which means customers can put it straight in their home recycling bin. The plastic lid can also be recycled.
