I Tried Pringles' New Mystery Box & My Inner '90s Kid Is Screaming

I popped, the fun didn’t stop, and I even scored a collectible charm. Back in elementary school, those little Pringles cups and the tall classic cans were my lunchtime trophies, perfect for duck-lip modeling sessions. I’d dig in up to the elbow, shake out the last crumbs, and carry that salty, onion-scented badge with pride.

These days, I usually reach for a purple bag of Doritos, but Pringles occupy a permanent spot in the snack hall of fame. So when the brand announced it was reviving its iconic ‘90s vibe with the “Once You Pop, The Pop Don’t Stop” Mystery Boxes—featuring a secret flavor and a collectible Pringamabob—I jumped at the chance.

The box holds two canisters. One is the mystery flavor: a pale yellow tube covered in question marks. I peeled back the lid and immediately caught a scent that shouted taco night—not spicy, but that warm cumin-chili “taco kit” aroma, with reddish specks on every chip. The first bite delivered tangy, zesty taco-meat energy with a mild tingle that lingered.

“There are four different mystery flavors circulating, but if this isn’t some kind of taco, I’ll eat my Duckalips.”

(For the record, Duckalips is the collectible charm I pulled.)
