A Radical Flavour Concept
A design for a Pringles Sour Cherry tube has been making the rounds online, and it represents a significant departure from the norm. The mockup shows the classic 165g tube in a startlingly bright, almost candy-apple red. It’s a world away from the muted greens, oranges, and blues of the current UK range. The tube is decorated with graphics of dark red cherries, leaving no doubt about the flavour profile inside.
This is not presented as a core flavour. A banner across the top labels it as one of the fictional “Real Flavour Innovation Editions,” positioning it as a hypothetical limited release. The very idea is a challenge to the UK crisp market. Fruit flavours are a true rarity here, almost always appearing as a background note to a savoury ingredient, like apple with pork. A standalone sour fruit crisp is practically unheard of. It is a bold concept.
The UK Savoury Lineup
To understand how unusual this Sour Cherry concept is, you only need to look at what Pringles actually sells in the UK. The range is a fortress of savoury classics. There are no sweet options. There are no fruit options. The lineup is built on unimpeachable crowd-pleasers that have dominated supermarket aisles for decades.
The core offering includes Original, Salt & Vinegar, Sour Cream & Onion, and Cheese & Onion. Alongside these are the equally traditional Texas BBQ, Paprika, and Smokey Bacon. The brand’s most recent addition, Pringles Hot Blazin’ Fried Chicken, simply adds spice to another familiar savoury profile. Many of these flavours are so central to the brand’s identity that they are offered in multiple formats, from the standard can to larger sharing crisps. They are reliable, predictable, and entirely non-controversial.
A Global Perspective
While a fruit crisp seems alien to the British market, it’s worth remembering that Pringles operates very differently worldwide. The global catalogue is famously adventurous, with regional exclusives that cater to entirely different palates. This is where the brand experiments.
In markets across Asia, for example, Pringles has released flavours like Salted Egg, Seaweed, and Soft-Shell Crab. Sweet and savoury combinations are also more common, with concepts like Honey Butter or Grilled Shrimp appearing in certain regions. From that perspective, a fruit-based crisp doesn’t seem quite so impossible. It simply seems like a product designed for a completely different market.
What the real range looks like
The current UK Pringles range is exclusively savoury. Core flavours include Original, Salt & Vinegar, Sour Cream & Onion, Texas BBQ, Paprika, Smokey Bacon, Cheese & Onion, and the newer Pringles Hot Blazin’ Fried Chicken. A fruit-based flavour like Sour Cherry would represent a complete departure from this established lineup.

Frequently asked questions
- What flavour are the new Pringles shown online?
- The concept design is for a Sour Cherry Pringles flavour. This would be a sweet and sour crisp, a significant change from the brand’s current savoury-only range in the UK.
- Are there other fruit-flavoured Pringles in the UK?
- No. Pringles’ official UK range is built entirely on savoury profiles like cheese, barbecue, and onion. While the brand has released unusual flavours in other global markets, a fruit flavour has not been part of its mainstream UK offering.
- Are Pringles Sour Cherry crisps real?
- No, this product is not real. It is a Snackfish. The image is a fictional mockup created by the online artist UK Snack Attack and is not available to buy anywhere.
