First of all, this is false advertising. It says Pringles on the lable and even has the funny guy with the mustache, but these are in a bag! Where's that tin tube of stacked chips? And the chips themselves aren't your usual Pringles. They're small, bite-sized chips, more sun-dried tomato flavored "crisps" than regular potato chips.

As for the flavor, they're not bad. They remind me a bit of the Prince Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta I used to buy (whatever happened to that, anyway?). The chips are crispy enough, though they leave a mess on your fingertips.

I'm not quite sure what makes these "Select." They're fine, and would make a great side for your favorite sandwich, but those expecting some sort of higher end "chip" that looks like a Pringles chip but has a more exotic flavor might be a bit disappointed.

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.)
