Euro 2020 is just around the corner, and to celebrate this summer of sport, Pringles is bringing back two of its most popular limited edition flavours.
As European football’s flagship tournament gears up for kick-off, Pringles has launched a campaign aiming to “put the playful back in football after last season’s setbacks”, and the two fan-favourite flavours are set to hit shop shelves up and down the UK this week.
Pringles said it chose to bring back the ‘Doner Kebab’ and ‘Pulled Pork Burger’ as they seemed to go down such a treat with football fans.
The two flavours have been brought back to life in the iconic ‘Pringoooals’ can.
Also in an attempt to “keep the fun in football”, Pringles is teaming up with football freestyler Lia Lewis to invent a new signature trick. Not only will Lia be showing off her skills with an empty Pringles can, she’ll be encouraging everyone from football fanatics, to the part-time fans, to put their best foot forward.

The love for football freestyling has been on the rise over the last year, with 32% of people revealing they’ve taken it up for fun, 26% admitting it’s to get better at football, and 18% just out of boredom.

13% of football lovers admitted they would spend more than the average day of work trying to accomplish a football trick, whilst 5% admitted they would spend the equivalent of 33 football matches, or a staggering 50 hours, getting it right.

Speaking on the new partnership, Lia Lewis said: “I’ve had a great time creating this trick with Pringles and can’t wait to see people having a go at it [as] freestyle football is so much fun and everyone can get involved.
“All you need is a pair of boots and a ball, or in this case, the iconic Pringles can.”
Florence Kayll – UK Activation Brand Manager at Pringles – added: “We’re really excited for the summer of football and can’t wait to see all of our Pringles’ fans having a go at Lia’s trick.”

Pringoooals Doner Kebab and Pulled Pork Burger will set you back £2.99, and you can grab them from shops and supermarkets this week.
Co-op is offering shoppers £10 discounts to say ‘thank you’ for their cooperation during the recent cyber attack disruption.
Last month, the supermarket retailer’s stock was massively affected due to what was described as ‘malicious attempts by hackers to access [its] systems’, leaving shelves of stores across the UK bare, and payments by shoppers disrupted.
The company called it a ‘highly complex situation’, and also confirmed that hackers stole personal data – including members’ names and contact details.
The Co-op was just one business to be hit by cyber attacks this year, with other major ones affecting several other retailers like Marks & Spencer and Harrods.

Now that Co-op’s 2,300 food stores nationwide have successfully returned to usual trading, the retailer wants to show gratitude to its 6.5 million members who supported the business while the attack was taking place.
To say ‘thank you’, Co-op is offering its members a 25% discount on a £40 shop, meaning they can get £10 off their purchases.
“I’m very proud that, thanks to the work of our colleagues, we are very near to making a full and complete recovery from the recent cyberattack on our Co-op,” commented Co-op’s Managing Director of Food, Matt Hood, “and I’m delighted to see our stores looking back to normal and being able to serve our shoppers and communities.
“We are so grateful to our member owners for their support and patience with us during what was a very difficult time.
“I hope this gesture of appreciation goes a little way to showing them our thanks, with more value rewards to come over the summer.”
The 25% offer runs from today (Wednesday 18 June) right through to 24 June at all Co-op stores across the UK, and it can only be used by members one time.
Viral TikTok star and now recording artist, Addison Rae, has announced her first-everheadline European tour, where she’ll be paying Manchester a visit, and tickets go on sale this week.
After launching into the music scene back in 2021 with pure pop single, ‘Obsessed’, Addison made her pop star intentions very clear.
Since then, Addison has gone on to work with high-profile artists such as Charli XCX, who appears as a feature on track ‘2 Die 4’ taken from her first EP, ‘AR’.
Addison also contributed to the inescapable phenomenon of last year that was ‘Brat Summer’, appearing on the aforementioned A-list artist’s Brat remix album, on a reworking of the hit ‘Von Dutch’.
With more than 88.5 million followers on TikTok alone and north of 35 million on Instagram, it goes without saying that her legions of ‘Sunraes’ (yes, a real term used by some in the community) will be lining up to get tickets to her UK tour dates.
Now the singer is ready to take the world by storm, confirming a US and European tour following the release of her debut album, simply titled Addison.
This LP, which features standouts like smash single ‘Diet Pepsi’, ‘Aquamarine’ and ‘Fame Is A Gun’, has been met with rave reviews from fans and critics alike.
The fledgling 24-year-old American-born pop star is a big fan of the UK, so much so that one of the singles from this very debut album, ‘Headphones On’, includes a music video dedicated to frozen food retailer Iceland.
See for yourself…
Addison Rae is set to bring ‘The Addison Tour’ – her first on the continent and here in Britain and Ireland – to Manchester Academy on 30 August, with general admission going on sale this Friday, 20 June.
So, if you’re a fan, get ready to grab yours HERE.
