I stopped buying Pringles a few years ago when they labeled the packs..."NEW".

What the really meant was "SMALLER". That was the only difference. Price was the same.

Can we finally get Cheez-Its sold in Japan?

Pringles are on the BDS list ?

Gave up all of them for decades but started back on Pop-Tarts a few years ago. I wouldn't mind munching on some Cheez-its again too. Once in a while.

It’s amazing you can make billions of dollars selling people things to eat that is not even actually food and causes cancer.

I am only surprised about the amount. Is it really worth 30bln.? If I were that big sweet-Martian I would not have offered more than 1 to 5% of that sum. Anyway, my only fear is they paid a lot too much and now put my favorite mars chocolate bar in financial or economic danger (although it is even not anywhere to find in Japanese store shelves). So if anyone has an idea where to buy from, please help.

Avoid!

The companies listed above are responsible for the insane obesity epidemic killing people worldwide.

Pringles - carbs plus sugar = diabetes, obesity and death.
