Pringles is expanding its snack portfolio this September with two new product launches aimed at giving consumers more variety in both format and flavour.

The headline innovation is Pringles Dippers, the brand's first thicker, sturdier and wavier crisp, developed specifically to hold dips without breaking. Alongside the new format, Pringles is also adding Sweet & Salty to its growing Mingles range of puffed snacks.

Pringles Dippers feature a thicker construction and a scooped, curvy shape designed to pick up and hold more dip. The new product is intended to address a common challenge in the sharing-snack category, where thinner crisps can struggle to support heavier dips.

The range will launch in three varieties:

Pringles Dippers Original – the brand's classic salty and savoury Original flavour in the new thicker, wavier format.

Pringles Dippers French Onion – combining sweet, caramelised onion notes with a tangy and creamy flavour profile.

Pringles Dippers Bacon Cheddar – blending cheddar cheese flavour with smoky bacon notes.

The new range can be eaten on its own or paired with dips, positioning the product for entertaining, sharing occasions and at-home snacking.

Eileen Flaherty-Yao, senior director of salty at Mars Snacking North America, said: “We know it can be frustrating if your typical salty dipping vessel prevents your perfect scoop or breaks as you dip, which is why we've created Pringles Dippers.”

She added that the brand's iconic parabolic crisp shape has been reimagined in a thicker and wavier format designed to handle everything from lighter dips to heavier scoops.

Pringles is also expanding its Mingles line with the launch of Pringles Mingles Sweet & Salty.

The bowtie-shaped puffed snack combines a light and airy texture with brown buttery sweetness and a salty finish, adding a sweet-and-savoury flavour profile to the existing Mingles portfolio.

The dual launch demonstrates a continued focus on format innovation within the salty snacks category, with Pringles moving beyond its traditional crisp format while also experimenting with different textures and flavour combinations.

“With this innovation and the Sweet & Salty addition to our Mingles lineup, Pringles brings new ways to take on your favourite snack,” Flaherty-Yao said.

Both Pringles Dippers and Pringles Mingles Sweet & Salty are scheduled to begin arriving on shelves in September.
