Pringles Are Bringing Back The ‘Snack Pots’ From Your Childhood
We all had a Pringle pot at primary school, right? Mine was definitely pink and glittery, I remember it fondly.
It was big enough to house, and thoroughly protect, a handful of Pringles for you to eat with your lunch and I was always really smug to get it out of my lunchbox at midday.
These days, it’s not uncommon for me to nail an entire tube to myself - but in the name of healthy eating, maybe I could do with having pot with a more healthy portion size. And that’s where Pringle come in, as they’re bringing back the Pringle pots from our childhood.

It makes me happy to know that kids will again be enjoying the wonders of a Pringle snack pot, as they are now available when you buy two tubes of the crisps at Asda. Pringles are just testing the waters to see if it’s worth distributing them more widely, so the little pots are apparently already selling out.
They encourage keen buyers to call their local Asda before visiting to see if there are any left in stock.
Oh my god, Pringle pots are back 😱😱😱😱

Asda are also holding a giveaway for 500 of the pots here.
The original ‘pop pots’ now sell on ebay from anywhere from £8 up to £43, and I was quite horrified to find that my beloved pink glittery version is now worth £21.40.

I’m definitely going to have to give my mum a call and see if she can dig it out.
