Pringles Minis

What is it about the change of taste you get when you shrink down a larger food into a smaller one? I can see how baby peas or other foods can taste different, because they are different, but something like the new Pringles Minis, why do they taste different than the ordinary Pringles when they are just smaller versions of the original?

OK, so they don't taste that different. But they don't taste exactly the same either. Even if you put enough smaller ones in your mouth to equal a whole Pringles large chip, there's still something slightly different about the taste. I was never very good at science in school.

These are pretty good though. They come in Original, Sour Cream and Onion, and Cheddar Cheese flavors. I don't think I'd buy them over the regular Pringle's, but they do retain their shape in the little bags. I thought they'd be Pringles Dust because they're not protected and stacked like the bigger chips, but the two bags I've had were fine. (Pringles also has some new Pringles Selects, but I haven't tried them yet.)

I was a little surprised to find that it has a fair amount of regular potato in it, so it still has a original Pringles potato aftertaste. I think it would have been much better with 100% sweet potato. I don't plan on buying them again.

I wouldn't have guessed that the Minis would taste different than the original. I plan on trying them once when I see them, but I was hoping for the same taste in a smaller size.
