Does the snack industry have no shame?!
Options
Flavored Pringles of Pumpkin Pie and White Chocolate? I think I need to excuse myself to the restroom so I can be sick.

Just What We Needed: Pumpkin Pie And Peppermint Chocolate-Flavored Pringles

(Pringles)
Candy corn-flavored Oreos just weren’t enough horror for the snack-industrial complex this season. No, they had to go farther, push forward, and inflict new horrors on the noshing public. That horror: dessert Pringles. Specifically, holiday-themed flavors like pumpkin pie spice, white chocolate peppermint, and cinnamon and sugar. Well… the flavor of Pringles can be effectively described as “flavoring powder and salt,” so maybe these new offerings won’t be so bad. Maybe?
No, they’re pretty much as bad as they sound. Not wanting to inflict this horror on our professional taster colleagues down the hall at Consumer Reports, we’re going to defer the Huffington Post, which described the pumpkin pue spice flavor as much less horrible than anticipated, the cinnamon sugar flavor as surprisingly edible, and the white chocolate peppermint as pretty much what you’d expect: a “horrible abomination to humanity.”

Sounds gross, they've had no shame for years now. Have you noticed the "individual" bags getting bigger..and now "Family sized"
and the price is steadily creeping up... just buy a 5lb bag of potatoes, it'll last longer!0 -

That was an awesome response.
But to answer, "Does the snack industry have no shame?!" Nope. Not many industries do have shame. That's not their job.0
