Pringles have long been the chip of choice for many junk food addicts. The company now has a "new kid on the block", Pringles Select Sun Dried Tomato flavored potato crisps. While Pringles Select Sun Dried Tomato potato crisp do not come in the fancy tube we have all grown to know and love, they are still worthy of the Pringles name.
