Last year, Pringles made its first foray into the world of sweet and savory chips, offering three holiday-inspired flavors for the season: Cinnamon and Sugar, White Chocolate Peppermint and Pumpkin Pie Spice. As you might expect, the reviews were, uh, mixed.
Pringles are a bit nasty to begin with. None of those flavors sound good.
However, I cook gluten-free and there is potato in my baked goods. Since Pringles appear to be made out of instant potatoes, a lot of oil, and a lot of salt, they might be OK done as sweets (minus all the salt). Potatoes and oil are OK in pastries.
I saw the Cinnamon-Sugar ones the other day in the store. I'm usually a big fan of sweet/salty combos, but to me, it didn't sound great. I also don't mind snacking on Pringles in general, on occasion, though they're clearly junk food and it's not a common thing for me.
That said, I've used potatoes in baked goods before, so I'm not completely horrified by the potatoes/sweets combo.
Added note: I bought a bag of cinnamon flavored sweet potato chips. It should have been OK. I like sweet potato chips and cinnamon goes with sweet potatoes, but yuck and double yuck!
The cinnamon was imitation cinnamon flavoring, not real cinnamon. It was awful.
The chips were outrageously expensive, so it was not out of reality to expect real cinnamon but it wasn't used. I think it would be too much to hope that Pringles would use real spices and not artificial flavors when the expensive ones won't use it.
Two of my three dogs like the sweet potato chips, so they didn't go to waste.

I really like cinnamon sugar pita chips, but on a Pringle? Ick.
