The Real Reason Pringles Aren't Actually Potato Chips

- Pringles are not your average potato chips. Instead of coming in a bag, they come in long, thin tubes, and they taste a lot different than Lay’s or Ruffles. Believe it or not, there is actually a lot of debate about the proper classification of Pringles. Sure, they are informally referred to as potato chips, but if you take a look at the ingredients list, you’ll see that “potato” isn’t actually on there. Hopefully this video won’t ruin your love of the famous snack food, but let’s take a look at the real reason why Pringles aren’t actually potato chips.

Does it make any difference to your enjoyment of Pringles whether or not they're technically potato chips?
Mashed No
No, since you can see it is processed food, not a whole potato. I prefer potato chips from 100% potato and no starch or anything else, but I can still enjoy Pringles
I stopped buying them for 3 reasons. The flavour changed. The price went up, with the size of the container being reduced. I keep, and reuse the containers. And a few older containers next to the new ones says it all. When the bean counters do this to us, and we find out. The results are they lose customers. Toblerone chocolate did the same thing. They took out a few of the segments, and made the bar very sweet. I will no longer buy them. Other tricks are making the openings of bottles wider, so more is poured out. I now buy cleaning products in bulk. And decant them myself. Supermarkets are full of tricks as well. Beware of, on sale, new, reduced, and specials. Special higher prices, and so on. Question all the prices, learn to read the pricing labels. Take a calculator, it is useful for the pricing tricks versus weights. 750/850/950 grms, to a kilogram/price. 25%/15%/5% per kg difference that is not in your favour. Frozen products that have extra frozen water to keep the product moist when you fry or cook them. Tyson's frozen chicken for example. Another one is 2% milk fat free. And it is coloured water as far as I am concerned. And don't take the weight as the gospel truth. Start weighing things you buy. You may be surprised what you find.
Some local sausages have an extra 30% water added. (To keep it moist when frying).
When they stopped using corrugated paper liners inside the cans, the chips started getting broke up to hell. When you look at the video at about 3 minutes and 5 seconds you can see that they absolutely did use white corrugated (wavy) paper liners inside the cans, they also used a corrugated paper disc at the bottom of the can. When you buy a can of Pringles now a lot of the chips are broke up into crumbs at the bottom. It's a disgrace.
Pirouette wafer sticks have the same freaking problem.
@@davidwootton683 You made some very good points. Some of which I think I've heard before. I know this part might seem off-topic, but toilet issue and body wash are also two of the biggest scams running right now.
Only reason for me to not having Pringles is the price.
I have no idea what you pay...but here...I can get 2 super stacks for $3.00 that is 10.4 Oz. compared to 8 Oz of Lays at $3.59...
@@rclarke250 Pringles is expensive in a lot of countries
In india we get Pringles for 100₹ and lays for 60₹ (2 packs of 30₹)same weight.
@@rclarke250 Outside the US pringles are mostly very expensive... a small pack of Lays will cost you about 80 euro cents, while a can of pringles is up to 3 euros.
Pringles were always the most expensive chips in our country. More than twice the cost of Lay's
"Potato isn't even listed as one of Pringle's ingredients."
"Processed, dehydrated potato"
which one is it
A deconstituted potato is little more than starch powder. Potatoes have a structure and texture that must not be destroyed. This is why you never, ever freeze potato soup, for example, and only a fool would attempt to make mashed potatoes from a powder. A chip is no different; there's a reason the product isn't good, and it's because it's made from dehydrated potatoes - and is less than fifty percent potato!
@@christopherburgess96 It's good bc it's not a potato chip?
@@christopherburgess96 I mean that's your opinion man, Pringles are one of my favorite chips
Do you open a plank of wood or a door?

@@mummydaughtervlogs yeah
Damn right!!!
I like how Pringles are in the bottle. Other chips are in a bag filled with air...so the whole bag is not filled with chips.
@@boohere2 same yeah
Long story short, it's because they're not made from actual potatoes but rather dehydrated potatoes and rice flour among other ingredients. Meaning that they cannot be branded as potato chips because they're not 100% potatoes
Yes I know I watch the video but thanks for the recap 😀
They aren't even HALF potatoes!

thats good enough for me
Carbage Man wtf
“Potatoes aren’t even in the ingredients. Only dried POTATOES”
Well, a powdered potato cannot objectively be called a potato anymore. It's largely just... starch powder. It's like looking at a pile of rubble after a bomb goes off and calling the smoking ruin a house...
@@christopherburgess96 Agree to disagree. If my house became rubble from a bomb or fire, I would still call it my house. Not liveable by any means but still a house.
@@lygophilia4127 I really can't even come up with a reason why you would think that way. Could you explain? A house is more than the sum of its parts, and disassembled, they could be anything - parts to four different houses, a series of reclaimed furniture. But those pieces will never be reassembled into a single house again.
@@christopherburgess96 It's not powdered potatoes like potato starch. The process of making starch involves isolating for the starch, while making powdered potatoes/potato flour/ potato flakes uses the whole potato. This results in a higher mineral, protein, and vitamin content compared to virtually none in the starch. This means it also retains some of the flavour. All they do is dehydrate the potatoes and grind them. Although I agree that at 42% potato, dehydrated or not it, shouldn't be considered a potato chip.
@@juliawilliams4162 I mean, while you're not wrong, the physical internal structure of the potato is very important to its texture. It's why we don't overboil mashed potatoes, for example. At this point you might as well just make starch powder crisps with added protein powder, except of course that it would be silly to take the extra manufacturing step of isolating the starch only to use it in a "potato chip". But if you didn't want to build a potato processing plant, well, this would be pretty much the same product.

“After over nearly a decade...”
So like...a decade?
no nearly
@@thanosks But it's "over" nearly a decade. It sounds like whoever wrote the script accidentally added too many descriptors without considering what each one meant. "After nearly a decade" would have been just fine, but the writer wanted to try and emphasize how long it took and threw "over" in there, but that just made it sound clumsy as a result.
I like Pringles but I always thought they taste processed. Now I know why.
And plus now many snacking companies use unusual oils to cook their snacks. Not like 20 years ago
It's almost like it's a....processed food
my dealer sells me pringles that contain coca leaf extract so i always like them
Pringles definitely my second favorite after lay's, pringles has a texture like flour instead of potato. While lay's just feels like dried real potato, but the problem with lay's is the packaging filled with probably 50% of air and 50% potato chips. Lay's taste better in my opinion
@@andyka591 50% is being too generous.
As much as I love Pringles, their price is just not affordable compared to Lay's
I rather buy Pringle’s than Lay’s or I don’t buy any chips. That or Doritos /Ruffles /Funyuns /Cheetos
I'd get any chip, especially ruffles
@@OkumuraRyuk well, here Pringles is twice as expensive a Lay's... And I'm not a fan of other chips too
Tommegg where here? I live in an island in the Caribbean I mean it’s 100 pesos here! Fair enough it’s expensive, but now for how I eat them on weekend watching a movie or playing.
@@tommegg8486 well Pringles have less air
Well done at 1:04 showing Brad Pitt selling Pringles before he made it big.
Cooool
Good catch
I thought it was Zac Efron for some reason 😂
After seeing the comments I feel that I am too poor to even choose Pringles over lays🤔🤔
I prefer pringles too but i also eat less junk food than most people. Quality over quantity. Eat 1 Pringle’s instead of 3 lays.
You are not alone.
sanjay jadhav how many lays do u get for same amount of Pringles ?
@@90AlmostFamous Five packs of 52grams Lay's for a can of Pringles.
Lays and pringles in my country cost the same o.o
I don't care, they are the best. I blame Pringles for sore tongues as much as Captain Crunch cuts up the roof of your mouth. Worth every moment.
World: Potato chips are greasy and fragile, how to fix them?
Americans: Invents a potato chip without potato...
They should call them "I can't believe they're not potato chips", instead of Pringles.
People complaining about Fake news when they have been eating fake food for decades... 😩
"Imagine having greasy crisps"
This post was made by pringle gang
narrator: potato is not even listed as one of pringles' ingredients
also narrator: only dehydrated processed potato
They handed out free cans when I was at Uni (Netherlands) and even students left them behind after tasting them, they just taste so much worse than real chips sliced from fresh potatoes. makes sense it has little to do with a real potato.
WHAT
I can't even imagine such thing happening at my uni, people would go crazy lol
@@Luisa_san I thought it a was a clear testament on the taste of pringles, at least with the recipes they used back then. It was a promotion gone bad. Kids still think the image is cool but for taste everyone goes with our regular crisps.
i tried Pringles but i prefer the traditional Potato ones, the taste is a bit weird for me
Keep in mind Pringle's packaging materials are the hardest ones to recycle. I hope they address the problem soon.
Make great WiFi extenders though.
You could redecorate the packaging to use it personally. I used to do that when I bought them.
@@gavincurtis wut
@@gavincurtis True
I haven’t had Pringle’s in years, don’t like the flavor. They taste over processed, I don’t see the fascination.
Ok
Me too.Back in days i loves Pringle too but nowdays im taken care more of my body
That's the fascinating part
I never knew they were supposed to taste like "potato" so I didn't know what to expect. They tasted awesome, and different
I enjoy pringles as a contrast to regular potato chips, they're not greasy and got a nice texture to them

Ten years of R&D involving supercomputers and paid scientists and it turns out all they needed was a roll of corrugated paper, and the shape of the chip didn't mean jack. Hah!
@@christopherburgess96 LOL !!!!😄
My heart: it gives me nostalgia
My mind: sounds good to me
My wallet: shut up and go home.
4:12 Someone once asked Gene Wolfe what he would have done differently in hindsight when designing the machinery to make Pringles. His response? "I would have made them thicker." He thought they were still too brittle in current form. (I also heartily recommend his Book Of The New Sun if you're a sci-fi reader).
The video, 1 minute of information, 3 minutes of Pringle adds
Around 11 years ago pringles started tasting half as good (along with most other packaged foods)
Glad someone else feels it too... literally everything used to taste way way better in my childhood and the taste has started deteriorating since past 10-15 yrs
@@drmehnazrashid7361 Yeah. For me it happened suddenly, like overnight. I don't think it's just me either, I know for a fact Nutella changed their recipe to include way more sugar probably to save on cost.
@@gidalyahbrons5780 not just Nutella ... it's with everything
Previously Nutella used to be so rich with overwhelming hazelnut aroma now it's so sugary
"this person spent years of their life perfecting pringles. when they were released, they made millions so it was worth the effort" yeah, probably not to who actually did it
I've always preferred traditional chips and they've been my favourite snack for 40 years. They're nearly a food group! 😂
They technically are!
The potato portion being the vegetable food group, and the salt and flavouring as the oils food group!
So, keep on eating them chips 😊
Hot Chips are best hands down.
Here in India, we have small shops called Hot Chips Store that would fry potato chips (yes from 100% real potatoes) & other savory snacks, then seal them up in a big bag for you, whatever quantity you want to buy. They keep for at least 1 week & they're quite cheap compared to packaged chips. Best kind.

When these came out in the 1960s, I had a classmate in middle school who brought a can of Pringles to lunch everyday. Everyday.
I'm eating the sour cream and onion flavor right now watching this..best flavor ever..I totally have a fever for the flavor of Pringles 😉
The pizza one is good too
Awesome awesome show. I love it. Thank you. I always learn a lot. This narrator is my favorite. I love hearing her voice and she always does an awesome job.
Pringles are not bery famous in india coz they r way expensive than other chips and they r bit bland to indian taste. Not very spicy that indians like
Sour cream is actually really good even for indian tongues...but yeah they're quite expensive.
Indian spicy crisps taste weird to a lot of people and I'm Asian myself but born in UK
@@bengaligangsta And here in America, I feel like there's too much foreign flavor on a pringle. Give me that simple, honest potato. Maybe a touch of salt and vinegar. Here's a little secret from simple cookery: There isn't more flavor in heavily spiced food; just more depth. Take the humble pot roast. Beef chuck, seared well; sweet onions, caremalized to perfection; tender potatoes, added halfway through that day-long simmer so they don't lose their texture; deglaze the searing pan with some water; salt; pepper. Done. The flavor is robust and potent - nobody in his right mind would call the dish flavorless. The simple ingredients are elevated so that each of their flavors can be appreciated in its full glory.
@@bengaligangsta to indians they arent weird...nd i dint mention asias taste but INDIAN TASTE .😄
@@milli4166 you do know that Indians are Asians, right?
I never had pringles because I always thought that they were priced so much more only because of the perfect shape...i thought they were just regular potato chips
Nah..pringles in india are smaller and they actually break in the package itself...and is not filled fully.
Please subscribe to my channel..it would really mean alot
Depends on where it's manufactured. I believe most of the pringles in India are imported from Indonesia.
Very addicting!! Really good snack

I always get a sore throat after eating a whole can of Pringles xD
pringles is too expensive in my country, yet it does not taste any special
On the day the tennis balls were supposed to be delivered, Pringle’s accidentally got potatoes instead.

There's uh, not what she said
Always loved it since I was a kid. Right now, I still do.
pringle’s are good until the salt is diluted and then you just get a grainy, powdery mess.
Ok I'ma head out and buy myself some Pringles.
These old ads are SO aesthetic
Pringles already reduce the size of their chips. Its smaller than I used to remember.
Once you pop, you can't stop!
You can... When a pack is finished
In Australia, potato chips usually refer to French fries in a restaurant.
Now if only dehydrated potato product could address the issue of my own fragility and stability...
*Stares into the void*
When I bring pringles to parties nobody touches them :(
yeah but why the cans so thin tho i cant even put my hand in
Post another clip where someone peels off the plastic lid like that and I call the police.
Ok I almost never buy Pringles , I came home with a can of them and immediately saw this on my recommended.
1:58 that's why you came here
Pringles are expensive but they give quality
And now I have a craving for Pringle’s
Those commercials are so cringe they hurt the feelings of my inner child

Seriously, supercomputers for finding potato chips.
Well those day the super computer was few thousand times dummer than our weakest smartphone.
Take a shot everytime the video says potato
From my personal experience, Pringles actually break apart MORE easily than normal potato chips.
Exactly bro, Lays is way better in my opinion. It tastes better.
@@masterdementer Lays Stax are the shit.
@@truereaper4572 we got different tastes
Pringles do break apart very easily in your hand/mouth, but in the can, there's usually not much broken chips compared to regular bagged chips, and their can can withstand more abuse during transport than bagged chips. This is because their regular shape means they can be stacked densely in a hard can and not have to be puffed with air to protect bagged chips from compression.
I think this is also why Pringles chip itself can afford to be more crumbly than regular chips. If Pringles are put in regular chip bag, they'd probably be destroyed in no time.
Seeing as this product was made in 1967, you have way more power in your pocket than the “supercomputer “used to design these.
And just like that I’m craving Pringle’s now
Im craving for Pringles right now.
I know about that and I like pringles.😀👍
This is making me crave Pringles
wait hold on Pringles were once regarded as some kind of revolutionary invention bring me back to that era
The problem with this processed factory foodstuff is they taste so god damn good.
Maybe I should start making my own potato chips.

There is no comparison with anybody else

It’s the crunch on yes and the flavor that says it best.

Yeah they're right I forgot a can of Pringles in my room for a year and I open them up and they smelled like I just got them
So hard to watch this without a pringles in my hand :(
The answer in one word: *their yt channel name*
No one caught Jason Alexander and Brad Pitt in the commercials.
I got a kettle brand chips ad
Do the additives have any detrimental health affects since the brand has been around for such a long time.
There are loads of brands that make basically the same thing as pringles. I wonder if they use the same process.
I like how Pringles are in the bottle. Other chips are in a bag filled with air...so the whole bag is not filled with chips.
I've always wondered why I didn't like their flavor/texture.
I always wonder how Pringles have consistent shape and now it's actually only 40% potato. Too many lies in this world.
This is making me want some pringles
Don't think I've ever had Pringles where half the stack wasn't broken
I'm a huge Lay's Potatoes chips FAN ya! 😏🤤
You mean Lay's packaged Air ?
Whether they are potato chips or not we still love them!!!!
No potatoes were harmed in the making of this product.
I just love how salty they are.
Pringles are a addictive. The great value ones are awesome too.
Is no one else realizing that *Mashed* is making a video about potato chips from *mashed* potatoes?
