A West Country Pringle
A new Pringles design proposes a very British pairing: Thatchers Cider and Mature Cheddar. This combination is a staple of pub menus and delis, particularly in the West Country where Thatchers has been producing cider since 1904. The mockup places the cider brand’s familiar green and gold branding front and centre on the Pringles tube, leveraging its strong regional identity.
The flavour concept moves Pringles into the territory of licensed, third-party brands. While crisp brands often collaborate, partnerships with alcoholic drinks are less common for a family-focused product line like Pringles. The design itself is specific, showing not just generic cider but the Thatchers Gold variant, suggesting a very particular flavour profile rooted in a known product.
The Current UK Line-up
The proposed flavour would represent a significant pivot for Pringles in the UK. The current range is built on a foundation of established, globally recognised tastes. Core variants include Original, Salt & Vinegar, Sour Cream & Onion, and Paprika. These are supplemented by American-inspired options like Texas BBQ and Smokey Bacon, along with a classic Cheese & Onion.
More recent additions have explored heat, with the Hot Blazin’ Fried Chicken flavour adding a spicy dimension to the line-up. A Thatchers and Cheddar Pringle would be the first to adopt such a distinctly British, and specifically regional, flavour profile. It shifts the focus from broad flavour categories like ‘spicy’ or ‘savoury’ to a named-brand collaboration that brings with it a completely different set of consumer expectations.
Licensed Flavours in the Snack Aisle
This concept fits into a wider trend of snack brands borrowing flavour profiles from other well-known products. UK supermarket aisles have seen crisps flavoured with Marmite, Henderson’s Relish, and Guinness, using the power of a recognised name to create interest. This strategy aims to capture the loyalty of two distinct customer bases at once.
By specifying ‘Mature Cheddar’ alongside ‘Thatchers Cider’, the concept also taps into the demand for more specific and premium ingredients. It’s not just cheese; it’s a particular type of cheese, paired with a named cider. This level of detail aligns with the direction many snack brands are taking, moving away from generic descriptors towards more complex and defined flavour combinations.
What the real range looks like
The current UK Pringles range focuses on classic crisp flavours like Original, Salt & Vinegar, and Cheese & Onion, alongside American-inspired tastes such as Texas BBQ and Sour Cream & Onion. A Thatchers Cider and Mature Cheddar variant would be a departure, introducing a licensed, alcoholic beverage flavour and a specific regional British cheese profile not currently represented in the core line-up.
