Enjoy ‘Turducken-Flavored’ Pringles as Part of Your Thanksgiving Feast

Are you too busy to cook for Thanksgiving this year? You can just eat a bunch of Pringles instead. Not just any Pringles, either—Turducken-flavored Pringles, which are officially a thing now.

Pringles released the new limited-edition Turducken Friendsgiving Feast on November 7. And if you’re not familiar with the turducken, prepare to have your mind blown: a turducken is a chicken stuffed inside of a duck stuffed inside of a turkey.

It’s certainly less conventional than a simple stuffed turkey, but it’s (somehow) becoming more and more popular in the U.S. In some other countries, it’s called a three bird roast.

Back to the Pringles. Their turducken “feast” includes three meat-flavored Pringles: chicken, duck, and turkey. Pringles are easily stackable, of course, so the intention is for you to stack the three flavors on top of one another, achieving the full turducken experience in chip form.

In previous years, Pringles has released other limited-edition Thanksgiving kits. Last year, it included pumpkin pie, turkey, and stuffing flavored chips.

This year’s kit is available for $15.99. You can buy it exclusively from the Kelloggs website, but supplies are very limited, so don’t be surprised if you don’t get your hands on one.

There’s always next year—and at this rate, God only knows what flavor of Pringles they’ll come up with next. Cranberry? Ham? Crhamberry?!

If you don’t feel like scrambling to order Pringles from the internet but are still tempted to eat chips for Thanksgiving dinner, there are also Roasted Turkey-flavored Pringles available at regular grocery stores.

The “Turkeys Away” Episode of ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ Still Holds up Today

It was way back in 1978 that WKRP in Cincinnati accidentally came up with a TV show classic that has wowed holiday season audiences since airing.

The show’s creator, Hugh Wilson, could never have predicted that people would continue to recite the episode’s standout line decades after it was first uttered.

Written by the late Bill Dial, “Turkeys Away” came about after the show’s creator recalled a story he heard from an Atlanta-based radio producer named Jerry Blum.

As the story goes, a radio station decided it would be fun to plan a publicity stunt to delight onlookers.

The PR stunt involved throwing turkeys out of a truck (or a helicopter, maybe).

You can probably see the problem coming…

Turkey’s can’t really fly. So those looking on ended up watching innocent turkeys lose their lives, which probably diminished their holiday cheer. We assume.

Wilson went with the story and approved episode 7 of the show’s first season. In it, WKRP’s manager, Arthur Carlson (portrayed by Gordon Jump), decides to do something just as misguided.

WKRP’s broadcaster, Les Nessman (portrayed by Richard Sanders), watches the events and concurrently recounts what happens in hilarious and excruciating detail during the episode.

The episode is so beloved that actor Richard Sanders attended an anniversary event in 1997 during which Indiana’s WKRQ recreated this “turkey drop” using toy turkeys.

For those of you who are concerned about animal welfare, you’ll be glad to know the TV show didn’t harm a single turkey in order to film the episode (viewers don’t see any turkeys at all, really).

Do you still enjoy “Turkeys Away”? Comment below about why you think it’s still such a classic!
