Instead of a nice crisp “crunch”, Stax had a dull “crack” when biting into it, and no butter-like flavor. While I can appreciate Lay’s effort, I think Pringles has the upper hand with it’s leaf-like thinness and I think because of that, it provides more satisfaction when crunching into one. The amount of salt did seem balanced for the chip though. The thickness is like 2, maybe 3 Pringles and the taste is somewhat bland. Ethan said these were more like a “real” chip. Stacks were noticeably thicker and didn’t shatter as easily when bit as did the Pringles. The salt-to-chip ratio is good and they have almost a buttery flavor.Įthan described them as being the “essence of a chip”. Also, some people reported that they cut their hand when trying to get the chips at the bottom of the container, whereas Stax is not made in the United States. Pringles have a light, crisp, delicate body, that provides a lovely crunch. In conclusion, both potato chips contain some ingredients that may have detrimental effects on your health, Pringles seems to be safer as it has significantly fewer ingredients than Lay’s Stax. I never had Stax, I never see people eating Stax but I guess I don’t see people walking around with canisters of Pringles either.Īlso, I’d like to note that when I went to my local grocery store to get some Stax, I couldn’t find them and asked the guy stocking the shelves in the snack section where they were and he told me “Those are discontinued…you can’t get them anymore.” I was heartbroken, the one time I wanted to eat these and they were discontinued? We ended up finding these randomly at a KMart in New Hampshire and I thought we hit the Stax jackpot, but since them I have seen them in some other places so I’m not sure if they’re discontinued or that guy just didn’t know what he was talking about. Pringles totally had the market cornered on stackable deydrated-potato chips until Lays came out with Stax in 2003.
