Try Pringles limited edition hot dog puns on USA TODAY
USA TODAY’s Fernando Cervantes Jr. tried Pringles’ limited-edition Pop Dog Buns, which are infused with three of the brand’s iconic flavors.
Summer is almost over, which means fall and football season are just around the corner. Pringles and Buffalo Wild Wings are celebrating the return of football with a new lineup of chip flavors inspired by popular wing sauces.
The companies said in a news release that the new lineup offers “a roster of flavors with a variety of spiciness levels to satisfy every fan,” and includes:
- Parmesan garlic: It has a tangy citrus aroma, followed by notes of aged parmesan, roasted garlic, Italian herbs, and red spice.
- Medium buffalo: Tangy buffalo flavor, cayenne spiciness, and a smooth buttery aftertaste.
- Asian gin: It delivers a moment of sweet spiciness with a tangy aroma from the rice vinegar, followed by a spiciness from the chili peppers, balanced by a hint of soy sauce and ginger.
The new flavor will be available at select retailers starting in July and will be widely available nationwide starting in September, according to a news release. Suggested retail price is $2.69 per can.
“We packed the unmistakable flavors people love from Buffalo Wild Wings into our iconic stackable crisps to create a lineup tailored for every kickoff, watch party, and tailgate,” Mauricio Jenkins, salty snack brand and content lead for Mars Snacking North America, said in a news release.
Buffalo Wild Wings brand president Tristan Melin said the company is “excited to partner with Pringles to bring the flavor of Buffalo Wild Wings to snack lovers in an entirely new way.”

Pringles recently launched its own hot dog buns
Earlier this month, ahead of National Hot Dog Day, Pringles announced the release of Pringles Pop Dog Buns. It’s a limited-edition line of potato-based hot dog buns infused with three of the company’s fan-favorite flavors: Sour Cream & Onion, BBQ, and Honey Mustard.
“This summer, we’re putting the ‘Once You Pop’ experience at the heart of our cuisine,” Mauricio Jenkins, head of salty snacks brand and content for Mars North America, said in a news release this month. “We wanted to take something everyone knows and completely transform it into an exciting new snacking experience.”
Although fans will no longer be able to get their hands on the buns, the product is part of Pringles’ new “Once You Pop” campaign, which aims to reimagine everyday foods through the lens of the brand’s iconic flavors.
The launch follows a growing trend of brands creating limited-edition food mash-ups and novelty products designed to turn heads during the summer grilling season. For Pringles fans, that means one thing. That means hot dogs may never taste the same again.
