PRINGLES MADE HOT DOG BUNS THAT TASTE LIKE ITS CHIPS
Pringles announced Pringles Pop Dog Buns on July 6, 2026, a limited-edition line of potato-based hot dog buns flavored like Sour Cream & Onion, BBQ and Honey Mustard chips. The buns came free with a $6.97 Pringles Three-Pack, sold online while supplies lasted.
Mars, which owns the brand, made the announcement in a release on PR Newswire at 9:20 a.m. ET. It called the buns a first-of-its-kind product.
Each bun measured 7.5 inches long. That is sized to fit Pringles’ signature cans, and the buns were packaged in those cans too.
Mauricio Jenkins, Salty Snacks Brand & Content Lead at Mars Snacking North America, explained the thinking in the release. “We wanted to take something everyone knows and completely flip it into an exciting new snackable experience,” he said.
Three flavors, one very committed bun
Pringles described the Sour Cream & Onion bun as tangy, savory and creamy. The BBQ bun was billed as smoky with a touch of sweetness, and the Honey Mustard bun combined honey’s sweetness with mustard’s tang.
Jenkins said the project was about “reimagining ordinary, bland buns and transforming them into an extraordinarily flavorful experience fit for our iconic cans.” He added, “Our mission is to continually deliver the unexpected to our fans.”
The company also framed the whole thing as a way to make the bun the “star of the show.” The release tied the buns to summer cookouts and National Hot Dog Day.
The launch was part of the brand’s “Once You Pop” campaign, USA Today reported. Jenkins even worked in a slogan: “Once You Pop, The Pop Dogs Don’t Stop.”
The release suggested serving the buns with Pringles crisps on the side, or piling crisps right onto the hot dog for extra crunch. Delish reported the same crunch-on-top idea.
Some outlets got a taste before the public did. Food Network said it tried the buns early, and Simply Recipes reported receiving samples of all three flavors before they went on sale.
The buns were not sold on their own. They came free with a Pringles Three-Pack, which held Sour Cream & Onion, BBQ and Honey Mustard crisps for $6.97.
Fans could order through OnceYouPopMarket.com or through Pringles’ Instagram and Facebook Shops. WFTV also listed those channels in its coverage.
Pringles invited customers to sign up for email alerts about the drops on OnceYouPopMarket.com. Two online drops were scheduled, both at noon ET, on July 8, 2026, and July 15, 2026.
The first drop went live on July 8, 2026. InspireMore reported that it “sold out before many people even knew they existed.”
Pringles then lined up a second chance. That drop was scheduled for noon ET on July 15, 2026, which was also National Hot Dog Day.
