Kellanova brings new Pringles flavors to convenience, vending channels
Kellanova has expanded its Pringles lineup with new flavors now available to order for Away From Home (AFH) channels, including vending, micro markets, convenience stores and non-commercial locations.
Kellanova is turning up the heat in the convenience and refreshment services space with the launch of Pringles Hot Ones 2.5 oz Grab n’ Go sizes, inspired by the hit Emmy-nominated show Hot Ones. The portable cans offer operators a recognizable, craveable snack that meets rising consumer demand for spicy and flavorful options.
Available in two varieties — The Classic Hot Sauce and Los Calientes Barbacoa — the potato crisps balance heat and complex flavor. The Classic Hot Sauce is inspired by Hot Ones’ signature sauce, known for chile de árbol pepper notes. Los Calientes Barbacoa brings together smoky jalapeño, chipotle and earthy herbs and spices for a layered, barbecue-style heat.
Kellanova is also launching Pringles Smoky Bacon and Pringles Smoky Cheddar, available exclusively in convenience stores and select grocery retailers.
Designed for portability and shareability, the new Pringles varieties reinforce the brand’s strong presence in the convenience and refreshment services market. Kellanova said the snacks are available for order now through AFH distributors and select retail partners.
Why this matters
- Spicy snacks continue to drive category growth, especially among younger consumers seeking bolder flavor experiences.
- By introducing Hot Ones-branded flavors in smaller, on-the-go formats, Kellanova gives operators a way to meet evolving consumer tastes while boosting engagement with a pop-culture favorite.
- The recognizable packaging and novelty factor offer an eye-catching addition to vending and micro market planograms.
