This summer, Pringles is shaking up backyard barbecues by merging two seasonal favorites—potato chips and hot dogs—into one bold new creation. The limited-edition Pringles Pop Dog Buns are soft, potato-based buns that capture the brand’s most beloved flavors: Sour Cream & Onion, BBQ, and Honey Mustard. Packaged in the iconic Pringles cans, these 7.5-inch buns are launching just in time for National Hot Dog Day (July 15) and are designed to deliver the same punch of seasoning that fans expect from the chips. According to Mauricio Jenkins, head of salty snacks brand and content at Mars North America, the goal is to reimagine plain buns and turn them into crave-worthy snacks that live up to the brand’s legendary “Once You Pop” promise.
So, do they deliver? Absolutely. Nerdist had the chance to try them ahead of the release, and the verdict is clear: these buns are intensely flavorful—so much so that you can smell them right through the packaging. While the flavor strength wasn’t a surprise, the soft and chewy texture certainly was, promising durability even with heavy toppings. Whether you enjoy them plain or loaded with sausages and recipes recommended by Pringles, these buns offer a unique twist on classic summer fare. The first drop goes live on July 8, with another chance on National Hot Dog Day (July 15) through the Once You Pop Market website. For just $6.97 (the cost of a three-pack of matching chips), the buns are essentially free—proof that this summer, you really can have your chips and eat your hot dog, too.
