We all love a knock-off, but Prongles have taken it a bit too far

We all love a bargain knock-off.

Tesco’s Wild and Whippys taste just like Milky Way. Cheap, own brand cookies are just as good as Maryland and we can’t fault supermarkets’ on their multipack crisp selection, either, which taste much like Walkers’ own.

Following in Tesco’s footsteps is Cards Against Humanity (CAH), or at least so it seems.

Apparently, the hilarious card game-creators have stepped out of the games section to create some knock-off crisps: Prongles.

Prongles are basically a new version of Pringles. They look exactly the same and even come in similar tubes.

The only differences so far seem to be the flavours. CAH ditches Texas BBQ for onions and cream and salt and potato – and no, they don’t sound too appealing.

Though we can’t be sure CAH has anything to do with the crisps, Imgur user Dave Lambert has us convinced.

He recently took to Imgur with a photo of the cans explaining that the crisps, which are apparently ‘bad-tasting, had some hidden branding in the mascot’s (aka, a pink pig eating some Prongles) skateboard.

Dave noticed that on both cans, ‘CAH’ was written.

Apparently, Dave’s findings were confirmed when ‘CAH card game’ showed up on the Prongles receipt after buying.

The cans are also reportedly stocked in the Toys section of Target.

Of course, we’re interested to find out what on earth is going on with CAH, and we’ve reached out to them to find out.

But we’re more baffled by the crisps – and it seems Twitter users are, too.

Kat Angus recently took to Twitter with a photo of the Prongles and the caption: ‘this photo just keeps getting better the longer you look at it’, and ever since other users have been equally as confused.

People were loving the slogan ‘Once you pop… That’s great!’

Instagram users have also been sharing photos of their latest purchase – which apparently taste less like potato chips and more like Frosties

If you’d like to buy your own can of Prongles, a website has just been set up here.

Personally, we’re always up for trying a knock-off but we think we have to draw the line with Prongles.

It’s not just the questionable flavours but the creepy mascot, too.

But hey, that’s CAH for you.
