New Travels, New Pringles

 While on holiday in Scotland in October I discovered two unique Pringles flavors unavailable across the Atlantic. The first was a limited release for the holidays, a roast turkey flavor crisp that tasted oddly like the roast chicken flavor we got back home. The next was a cross-promotion with Nintendo for Super Mario teasing a mystery flavor. Now, a Mario themed crisp should have a hint of marinated or stuffed mushroom. It was instead an unexpectedly spicy crisp, which I liked, but was related to Mario in name only. Back home I discovered yet a new flavor, the 7-layer dip, which was also a winner.

Everything Pringles

 Well, "Limited Edition" sells anyway but, still, I was curious about Everythign Bagel Pringles. Even for Pringles, which have not shied away from unusual flavors, this seemed random if not quite a reach.  Truth be told, my taste for everything bagels has diminished. They have become more of a mess than they are worth. Fortunately, I never fully abandoned onion as my go-to bagel, so no hard feelings there, and even grown fond of the blueberry variety.  But as for the Pringles, as the can suggests you taste the cream cheese more than anything. This is understandable. Short of loading the potato crisp with poppy, onion and sesame seeds that is the strongest flavor to evoke the traditional everything bagel. And, hey, you are not left with a table dotted with poppy and sesame seeds afterwards.

Not a Polar-izing option

 I'm a frequent Polar Seltzer drinker and try to try each flavor, including the limited editions that came out last winter. Fortunately, my local Big Y stocks a good selection. In celebration of its 100th flavor, Polar issued a limited batch honorary flavor mixing, in the company's own words, "The taste of sunny citrus & strawberry in orbit around sparkling STARfruit." The bottle features the iconic polar bear predominantly against a northern sky; Polaris, the North Star, guiding its path.  "To mark our 100th recipe," the bottle reads, "we crafted this starry small-batch to celebrate all of the other dreamers out there. Keep shooting for the stars. Best enjoyed in the dark. Cheers!" It's a successful blend, though it has not dethroned my favorite Polar Seltzer flavor, Georgia Peach.
