An Unmistakable Combination
This is a straightforward brand-on-brand collision. The image shows a standard Pringles tube, but its familiar red has been replaced by the stark black and yellow of Marmite. The caption that originally accompanied the image leans directly into the spread’s famous marketing slogan: “Love ’em or hate ’em?”.
The concept is simple. It takes a globally recognised stacked crisp and combines it with a uniquely divisive British store-cupboard staple. The mockup doesn’t propose a complex new product, just a flavour variant, slotting a well-known taste into an equally well-known format.
The Pringles Flavour Lineup
A Marmite edition would be a departure for the brand’s current UK strategy. The Pringles range available in major supermarkets is built on popular, established crisp flavours. There are the absolute mainstays: Original, Salt & Vinegar, Cheese & Onion, and Sour Cream & Onion. These are the foundations.
Alongside them sit bolder, often American-inspired seasonings like Texas BBQ, Paprika, and Smokey Bacon. The only real outlier is Pringles Hot & Blazin’ Fried Chicken, which pushes into a dedicated spicy territory. A Marmite flavour would be different. It isn’t a generic taste profile like ‘bacon’ or ‘cheese’. It would be a licensed flavour from another powerful food brand, a move that would set it apart from everything else in the current core range.
Packaging and Format
The design presented in the mockup is an effective blend of two familiar visuals. The Pringles tube’s shape, lid, and logo placement are all unchanged. The colour scheme, however, is entirely Marmite’s. The usual red background is now black, with the Pringles logotype and Mr. P mascot rendered in the brand’s distinctive yellow.
A graphic of the classic glass Marmite jar sits front and centre, leaving no doubt about the flavour. The format is noted as a 165g tube, which aligns with the standard Pringles can size, rather than the smaller sharing crisps format also available for flavours like Paprika and Texas BBQ. It is a convincing piece of packaging design.
What the real range looks like
The current Pringles range focuses on classic crisp flavours like Original, Salt & Vinegar, and Cheese & Onion, as well as bolder seasonings like Texas BBQ and Paprika. A Marmite edition would represent a new category for the brand: a direct crossover with another major food product, a strategy not currently seen in their core UK lineup.
