If you’ve opened a can of Pringles, you know exactly what should come out of one. It’s doubtful that a hot dog bun was on that list.
And yet, Pringles has decided that chips are no longer enough. The brand announced today that it’s releasing a limited run of flavored hot dog buns that borrow their seasoning from three familiar cans: Sour Cream & Onion, BBQ, and Honey Mustard.
They’re called Pop Dog Buns, and each one measures 7.5 inches long so it can fit neatly into Pringles’ signature packaging. The buns are potato-based, which gives the brand a solid starting point for working its chip flavors into the bread itself instead of leaving all the heavy lifting to the toppings. Sour Cream & Onion is the richest and tangiest, BBQ has a smoky sweetness, and Honey Mustard gives you that sweet-sharp combination without needing to squeeze anything from a bottle.
If you really want to combine the two, you could also pile actual Pringles onto the hot dog for crunch, should the flavored bun somehow feel too restrained for your own personal taste.
Unfortunately, getting your hands on one will require more effort than grabbing a regular package at the grocery store. Pringles is releasing the buns online twice: the first was on Wednesday, July 8, but you’re still in time for the second – Wednesday, July 1 – with the drop beginning at noon EST / 9 AM PST.
The buns are included at no additional cost when you buy a $6.97 three-pack containing Sour Cream & Onion, BBQ, and Honey Mustard Pringles. Orders will be available through OnceYouPopMarket.com, along with the brand’s Instagram and Facebook Shops, while supplies last.
“We wanted to take something everyone knows and completely flip it into an exciting new snackable experience,” said Mauricio Jenkins, Salty Snacks Brand & Content Lead, Mars Snacking North America. “Our mission is to continually deliver the unexpected to our fans, which is why we’re reimagining ordinary, bland buns and transforming them into an extraordinarily flavorful experience fit for our iconic cans. Trust me, that extra Pringles flavor truly makes these buns pop because… Once You Pop, The Pop Dogs Don’t Stop.”
