The new flavours are Japanese Style Stir Fry and Turkish Style Kebab.
They're part of the crisp brand's limited-edition Passport range, which is inspired by flavours from around the world.
Popular Instagram account John's Snack Reviews said the stir fry-inspired crisps tasted like "hot n spicy combined with spicy tomato but mild".
On the Turkish Style Kebab crisps, he said: "Think doner kebab, tomato n curry spices."
One commenter added: "I got the kebab ones today. I really like them.
"Defo more kebab smell than taste. Taste to be is a generic meat taste but I would buy them again."
Another person said they had managed to pick up the crisps for £1 in Iceland.
More of the Pringles Passport range can be found in Iceland.
The other flavours include Chinese Style Sweet & Sticky Wings, French Style Steak Frites and Thai Style Green Curry.
They're all currently selling for £1.50, down from their usual price of £1.95.
At the start of the year, Pringles brought out a new flavour inspired by the US.
The Blazin' Fried Chicken Pringles hit shelves in January.
They're inspired by Nashville hot chicken, which is marinated in spices, deep fried, and then coated in cayenne sauce or just cayenne spice.
In June, the crisp brand brought out the Flame Grilled Steak flavour.
It was previously a convenience store exclusive but has now become more widely available.
More new crisp flavours
Crisp fans have been treated to plenty of exciting new flavours lately.
Walkers revealed its first new Quavers flavour in three years will be in Tesco from the end of this month.
The Red Leicester Quavers will then hit other major supermarkets in September.
The flavour is already available to buy from Premier stores and Farm Foods.
Elsewhere, Discos, owned by KP Snacks, is bringing back its beloved pickled onion flavour after it was last seen on shelves in 2005.
The tangy snack will be sold in convenience stores across the UK from August 27, giving punters just a matter of weeks before they're reunited with the flavour.
Why are products axed or recipes changed?
ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.
Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.
They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.
There are several reasons why this could be done.
For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes.
Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.
They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.
For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.
It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year.
Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks.
While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.
