where's my potato chips oh we're not having chips tonight munchkin sorry Doritos are a
Surefire hit guacamole Doritos well not so much see if your favorite fizzled out to become one
of the 10 discontinued chips that don't exist anymore Pringles Prince how much do you think
Pringles paid these people hardly anything the people over at Pringles aren't afraid of a little
Innovation when it comes to their chips and this one did more than just add salt and flavor into
the tops of each chip although they officially hit shelves in 2004 Pringles Prince began development
in 2002 as a concept to make snack foods more fun and interactive the idea was to slap words
and images onto each and every chip in a tube of Pringles Prince the idea evolved from a test
run with an inkjet printer at the Pringles office to intricately developing a process using edible
inks and varying colors that were able to apply high resolution images to the chips as they came
out of the fryer each Pringles print included entertaining tidbits like jokes and pictures
and eventually licensed tie-ins with games like Trivial Pursuit and popular movies and TV shows
although the novelty and popularity eventually waned largely due to Consumers being turned off
by Blue ink residue powder found at the bottom of tubes there are still fans nostalgic for Pringles
prints unopened tubes can still be found for sale on eBay for a price a promotional tie-in
can from the 2007 film Spider-Man 3 was listed for 53.99 and a can of NASCAR Daytona 500 sweepstakes
prints can fetch as much as a hundred dollars even though you can't win the contest anymore
Pizza Hut and Doritos pizza cravers contractor no I will not bow to any sponsor
sometimes even a short-lived and discontinued chip can have a long and storied past and the
tale of the pizza cravers might just date back the farthest after all great ideas take time
it was back in 1965 when Pepsi bought out Frito-Lay to get its hands on the Doritos
brand that would launch across the country in 1966 and it was 11 years later when Pepsi
began building its restaurant division with the purchase of Pizza Hut in 1977.
[Music] still nobody in either the boardroom or research and development department over those
years came up with a crazy concept of merging the tastes of Doritos and Pizza Hut until 1996.
the chips were rolled out from coast to coast in Samplers and on store shelves and were even
included free with any delivery order from a Pizza Hut restaurant during their first month on the
market reviews weren't raving with most customers noting they tasted good but didn't really taste
like pizza even though the combination didn't last very long and was eventually discontinued they
still left you with orange fingertips Keebler Pizzeria Pizza chips pizza's here the Doritos
Pizza Hut tag team wasn't the first exploration into combining pizza and chips as earlier in the
1990s the Keebler elves gave it a try released on store shelves in 1991 Keebler's take on Pizza
chips was truly dedicated to an authentic pizza experience rather than using potatoes or corn
or other typical chip bases Pizzeria chips were the real deal actual deep fried triangular slices
of pizza dough the slices were served in three different Pizza related flavors zesty pepperoni
cheese pizza and pizza Supreme and we're so successful that Keebler reportedly sold 75
million dollars worth in their first year the following year Keebler won two awards from the
American Marketing Association all thanks to the wild success of Pizzeria Pizza chips the Run would
eventually end and after barely four years in production they were tossed to the curb like an
empty pizza box unfortunately currently a sale of the Keebler company and subsequent restructuring
spelled the end for the pizzeria Pizza chips and they haven't returned since new to our Channel
then make our day and hit that subscribe button thanks now more Vanishing chips Lay's WOW chips
it's right after dinner it's all right Frito-Lay once introduced a new variety of chips to the
world that they simply called wow but the end result was more of an owl than a wow marketed
as a healthier and lower fat alternative to their traditional ingredients the line included
wow versions of lays Ruffles Doritos and Tostitos the secret to the new Chips tasting so good while
managing to trim the fat content was an ingredient called olestra but instead of cutting calories it
would end up cutting into the chip company's profits as well as its Public Image research
showed an ounce of ilestra chips contained nearly none of the fat and less than half
of the calories of an ounce of traditional potato chips the studies also showed small but consistent
cases of olestra causing gastrointestinal issues when consumed in large doses nevertheless elster
was approved for use by the U.S Food and Drug Administration in January of 1996. as long as
food that contained it included a warning label about the possible side effects you know those
gastrointestinal issues well in hindsight they should have used a bigger label those chips
were recalled in the 90s for cause an explosive diarrhea customers had some immediate and severe
reactions to the new lineup of chips that ran the gastrointestinal gamut undeterred Frito-Lay's WOW
chips went Nationwide in 1998 and for a while it seemed like they made the right decision customers
were mesmerized by the idea of guilt-free chips and WOW chips became the best-selling new product
in the country in the first year on the market but once the side effects caught up to the sails
the Frito-Lay folks might have been feeling ill too after just two years on store shelves sales
of WOW chips dropped by almost 150 million dollars Frito-Lay pivoted in the face of the
bad publicity rebranding WOW chips to light chips in 2004 but without actually fixing the issue of
moving the olestra the company stubbornly hung onto the rollout of their gas inducing grab
bags for another 12 years before discontinuing them for good in 2016 which might just prove
there's no such thing as guilt-free snacks unless you're the company that's making money off of them
Sun Chips sweet and spicy barbecue you have ruined a perfectly good barbecue with your demands and
chatter Sun ships were introduced in 1991 and where a wavy shaped healthier spin on traditional
chips with flavor combinations that were unique from the usual Frito-Lay Fair Frito-Lay ditched
the idea of making just another traditional potato-based chip and instead Sun Chips are
made with 100 whole grains to this day the brand has subsisted on four signature flavors harvest
cheddar garden salsa French onion and original other flavors have come and gone over the years
but none seemed more beloved than sweet and spicy barbecue debuting in 2013 this particular flavor
was a blend of sweet taste from a combination of Honey molasses and brown sugar alongside spicy
hints that provided a balanced barbecue taste while popular it didn't last long in the lineup
as Sun Chips had reported a double-digit decline in sales between 2011 and 2014 and sweet and spicy
barbecue you was discontinued more a victim of bad timing than of its deliciousness Lay's Garden
tomato and basil chips crispy salty not too greasy and another short-lived stint with a veggie twist
lays introduced Garden tomato and basil chips in 2011. they were released for a limited run
and were well reviewed as a light summer snack but when the sunshine season ended the garden tomato
and basil run did too and unlike its counterparts growing in the garden this one didn't come back
in the spring while no official reason for the discontinuation was ever given fans of the flavor
didn't need one to make their demands hurt would you like a chip a petition sprung up on change.org
which has collected thousands of signatures over the four years it's been active it drew enough
attention that lays took to Twitter in the spring of 2021 to let fans know there just wasn't enough
demand for garden tomato and basil to return to the shelves but just over a year later they might
have changed their tune in the summer of 2022 an Instagram post from parent company PepsiCo showed
a redesigned Garden tomato and basil bag although it was quickly deleted the chips never did return
to shelves that summer but that hint has given everyone hope Lay's wavy milk chocolate covered
chips wait a minute what am I thinking chocolate is poisonous to dogs while it seems the healthy or
veggie varieties of some chips don't stick around the same can be said for their chip counterparts
some discontinued chips went the opposite direction of healthy brand marketing and doubled
down on some dessert deliciousness the concept of adding sugary sweetness to Salty treats is
nothing new with the basic idea being traced back to the invention of the chocolate covered pretzel
back in 16th century Germany as the story goes in 1544 a chocolatier and a pretzel Baker decided to
join forces and the tradition of salty chocolate covered treats was born piggybacking on the simple
idea lays tried their hand at it when they dipped their wavy line of chips into milk chocolate back
in 2013. the bags were five ounce portions and the new product was given a trial run around
Valentine's Day well it turns out the sweet and salty treat didn't stick around and hasn't seen
another National release limited or otherwise lies since 2015 in a brief but fleeting Valentine's Day
contest Lay's social media gave away a handful of limited edition bags of chocolate covered
comfort food back in February of 2021 but that's been it for the factory direct version fans have
cobbled together various recipes to recreate the chocolatey chip at home and lays themselves have
posted a do-it-yourself recipe on their website still the lack of a sustained release since they
first hit the market has left more people feeling salty than sweet Pringles dessert flavors and what
are you making Monica you know in case Rachel's dessert is so good that I eat all of it another
Giant in the potato chip game took to feeling sweet and also tried going the dessert route
a year before lays went with the chocolate dipped strategy Pringles introduced a line
of sweet holiday inspired tastes in October of 2012. cinnamon sugar pumpkin pie spice and white
chocolate peppermint all hit shelves adding a sugary spin on the pup the top treat the Pringles
take was a little different than the traditional chocolate dipped or coating dipped method and that
the chips were prepared exactly the same except with the sugary flavor powders instead of the
familiar salty ones fantastic is this your first cake it is muffins fans didn't quite take to the
Christmas chip concoctions and the idea was shells for three years before being retooled for a return
in 2015. the second round included a churro inspired cinnamon sugar tortillas flavor white
chocolate and pecan pie variety days but again the sweet stylings disappeared after their short run
another National roll out of flavors didn't occur until 2020 and with their inconsistent returns
coming further and further apart fans might have to start writing to Santa to get these
back so make sure you're not on the naughty list guacamole Doritos here to make us some guacamole
I love guacamole the snack ideas that have staying power are usually simple pairings that complement
each other one such Timeless combo is tortilla chips and guac so Translating that idea to two
in one Chips seemed like a slam dunk for the mexi-inspired taste of Doritos finally coming
together to hit store shelves in 2003 guacamole Doritos were covered in a distinct avocado green
flavor powder and we're easily expected to become a Mainstay in the snacking Community
but after only three years the mean and green chips disappeared unlike the Tostitos version of
a guac chip that they've dubbed hint of guacamole the full-flavored punch of the Doritos version
might have been too much for most customers early reviews from 2003 noted they tasted like nacho
cheese Doritos with a slight guacamole aftertaste instead of the guac being front and center they
made a brief return to the U.S market in 2013 and limit releases were spotted in Canada in 2017 and
the United Kingdom in 2020. but for the time being this supposed slam dunk looks to be a dud
Doritos collisions oh Jeremy's in trouble that is not looking good the holy guacamole experiment
wasn't the first time Doritos try to mix and match scenario that didn't stick around in the case of
2007's Doritos collisions however the flavor mix was much more literal instead of the flavoring on
each chip being a mixture of two tastes collisions went half and half with two flavors of separate
chips in the same bag The Taste combinations took inspiration from other Munchies that are usually
paired together which required Doritos to come up with completely new chip flavors that they
did not sell individually just so they could pair them together if you're going hard enough
left you'll find yourself turning right for example Blue Cheese Doritos didn't exist and
neither did Buffalo Hot Wings Doritos but they were both invented and then came together in a
collisions bag combos like cheesy enchilada and sour cream or pizza and Ranch also require the
creation and manufacturing of brand new taste in the end the process became inconvenient for the
company and collisions crashed out of the chip race got a favorite you've seen disappear let us
