Ok, have tried in all the normal places, Homeplus, WalMart etc.. but does anyone know where i can get some in Korea, if so please give me some good directions!
Failing pringles, salt and vinegar crisps of any brand would do!

Many Thanks
Craig

I saw some, but I can't relinquish this information until I have secured a container of my own.

Cant wait, looking forward to catching a movie and chowing down on a whole container and coming out with numb lips!

The only reliable places would be Hannam market or The Red Door in Itaewan.
For The Red Door, walk down the street adjacent to the Burger King, away from the main street. It will be a few blcks down on the left.

For Hannam market...

Or if there is a black market in your neck of the woods, you might have some luck.

The 7-11 in Bugok has 'em, so does Win Mart in Namji and Changnyoung. They are everywhere here out in the sticks.

I haven't seen them anywhere. Maybe I should move further South.

Solution:

Go to Nambu Bus Terminal and catch the Bugok bus (there are 4 a day, I think). Ride the bus 4 1/2 hours, get off at the Bugok Bus Terminal, go around the block to the 7-11, buy your Pringles, go back to the bus station and catch the next Seoul-bound bus.

Round trip would only be 9 hours + any waiting time.

I'm pretty sure that I saw S&V Pringles in one of the import markets at Namdaemun.

Careefour don't have them.. not in Seoul at least.

Tzechuk, what Carrefour did you see salt & vinegar pringles at? I haven't seen them there before. Yesterday I stopped by one near Sagajeong station.. but no S&V. However, they've got every other flavour, like everyone else.

I went home (U.S.) immediately looking for salt & vinegar chips but couldn't find any! I was sore disappointed but I guess it's gone outta flavor.

I'm all for a Korean invasion of salt & vinegar Pringles. I'll definitely keep an eye out.

Is everyone really talking about salt & vinegar here, and not the sour cream and onion flavor, which is available all over??
