Dear Mr. Pringle,
How are you? I am doing well, thank you for asking. Winter finally broke here in Watersmeet, which means we’ve got one more month until winter. ha! I’m kidding. That’s just a little Watersmeet humor for you. I get a little nervous talking to famous people.
Me and the Misses are just here relaxing on a Saturday evening listening to a Harry Belafonte record. Have you heard of him? I think he’s a colored gentleman based on his voice, but I can’t be to sure because the record cover picture makes him look more like an Italian than anything.
Anyway, I’m writing today because Carol was at the grocery today and with it being the Sunday after the pension check comes in and all, she wanted to do something special for supper. God bless her baptist ass, 31 years later and she’s still doing her best to surprise me. That’s why I love her.
Well, beside the register at the grocery, there was a special on Wavy Pringles: Apple Smoked Cheddar Artifical Flavor / Con Sabor Artificial.
Mr. Pringle – Wow. Those smokey sons of guns knocked my socks off in the best way possible. I applaud you for your superior chip intuition and for making a chip that goes so well with carol’s tatertot hotdish.
I do have two questions for you, though.
1. Where can we get real ”Con Sabor” seasoning? If it is this good artificial, I can only imagine what it is like real. Carol also thinks it’d be good to enough to help her win crowd favorite in next year’s Holiday Hotdish Competition for Christ (Don’t ask, it’s a Michigan Baptist thing)
2. Are those real cheese wedges scootin’ down the chip on the can? If so, was it a extra large chip or did you somehow magnify a regular size chip with very small cheese wedges? Carol thinks it’s more likely magnifying a regular size chip. However, after from working in a manufacturing plant for 34 years, I can safely say you have the capabilities to make a giant chip to meet the weight of regular size cheese wedges.
If you could let me know about both, I’d sure appreciate it. And thank you taking the time to write us back. I know you must have a very busy schedule with future chip development.
Very sincerely,
Brian Olgam
Post Script: Part way through this letter I turned the record and Mr. Belefonte was singing in mexican, so I am now more confused and your guess is as good as mine as to his ethnicity.

Brian,
It’s great to know that you think Pringles® Wavy Applewood Smoked Cheddar really stack up. Guess we have something in common! You bring up some interesting questions, so thanks for letting me give the answers a shot.
The “Con Sabor Artificial” on the label is the Spanish translation for “Artificially Flavored”. We include such translations for the ease of our fans who are Hispanic. The exact flavors are a special recipe. It sounds like Carol is quite the cook, so I’m sure she’ll be able to whip up her own secret flavor combination in no time.
A giant Pringles® crisp would be a thing of beauty, but Carol is right. To showcase the winning flavor of Pringles® Wavy Applewood Smoked Cheddar, we magnified our regular size crisp and put small cheese wedges sliding down the crisp. Imagine, instead of snow covered hills, gliding along cheese-filled crisps. That’s a winter season that I wouldn’t mind having 11 months of the year.
I’m never too busy for family like you! To help you and Carol with your next purchase, I’m sending a free product coupon via mail. Watch for it to show up within 7-10 business days.
Thanks again, Brian, for the chat. I wish you and yours all the best!
