History of Pringles

Why are Pringles called “crisps” and not “chips”? Did you know the guy who designed Pringles was buried in an actual Pringles tube? And what’s up with that mustachioed mascot?
Since their inception back in the 1950s, these saddle-shaped beauties have remained perfectly stackable and highly lunch packable. Pringles were no overnight sensation, but with the help of a little advertising and Brad Pitt, they entered the ranks of snack food royalty.

In the mid 70s growing up in Southern California… when my buddies and I first stumbled upon Pringles we couldn’t get enough of these. We had a club house and with our dues would save up to buy cans at a time where it became the official food… apart from pepperoni pizza in our clubhouse. Big contest was who could fit the biggest stack in their mouth without breaking before biting. Good times… still my favorite chip… I live in Tokyo now… a little different… sometimes I still try and fit a mouthful and I’m 58 years old!… love the old packaging. Domo!

[@michaelconrad7301]

You missed one of the most interesting bits of Pringles history - the designer of the machine that cuts out those Pringles was a young mechanical engineer named Gene Wolfe, who would go on to greater fame as one of America's best science fiction and fantasy authors, honored as a Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 1996, winner of the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, and inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. Neil Gaiman, among many other writers, has credited Wolfe for inspiration of his own work. Mr. Wolfe passed away in 2019.

[@jcl5638]

They have no air and also good flavors

[@bBbstrdcyhhPA]

[@mcnicklicous5801]

by the way, a latvian created the mashed potato potato chip. pringles just kinda optimized them to be more convinient

[@joecataneo6676]

Idk why. But talking so fast worked so well for this video lol

[@merylsilverburgh8081]

"... If it doesn't say micro machines, it's not the real thing...."

[@kazoohakazoo362]

Hilarious how its competition was so salty at its success that they rioted because they werent actual " Chips"

[@JustinLodes]

Member the days when Pringle’s were coated with a thick layer of the powder seasoning? Now they skimp on it 😕
Just another reason to invent a time machine and travel back to the 80’s 👍

[@tezcapone3128]

Eating sum bbq pringles atm while watching this lol

[@not_the_vampire]

Left out a major Pringles can hack: making a homemade Fleshlight using a condom, rubber o-ring, and foam rubber.

[@mr.pringles6677]

This is the only thing people need. Anything else is denied by Mr. Pringles

[@brosideon6491]

did he get david in there on so?

[@raven1462]

I love Lays don't get me wrong. I eat Pringles rarely, because when I pick up a can it's like the first time

[@xienjoterrado5612]

[@mrmjb1960]

New motto is once you pop you just can't stop.

[@Andellamovez]

Pringles lore

[@449JaneDrive]

Lays stax are superior, and remind me of what pringles used to be.

[@Boykofan]

Maybe in the US, my pringles are always heavily seasoned and tasty, unlucky

[@RougaFang]

Agreed. Pringle use to be my go to chip for snacks. Now they flat out suck. Lays stax are so much better

[@MYERZ08]

Ironically, they're called PRINGLES POTATO CHIPS in the UK. As to be called a crisp here, your product must be made from a solid potato.

[@aaaaaaaaaaaajajjaiwjw]

nobody cares about that,

[@voiceofreason2674]

Pringles was made in a laundry detergent facility that’s all u gotta know

[@SJ-kb1kz]

Bbq and sour cream are the bomb 😍

[@AdrianMihaltianu]

I was just enjoying your video until you started speaking at plaid speed. And for what? Why rushing through and making it impossible to remember anything? Where's the rush? Unliked.

[@RizvanHasan]

the narrator sucked for the International viewers. a big dislike for him.
I understood the whole, but it took constant attention and made me tired.

[@hnyflvr]

I’m sorry but Pringle’s are still broken in the can 😒

[@buckwheat6245]

Okay OCD

[@Lil-fw5db]

Hungry😌

[@samkeino6810]

Pringles supports Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. Pringle’s products in Russia state “Support our (Russian) troops”. Will you join me in boycotting Pringles?

[@amberjackson5932]

No

[@wetdroidedition2549]

Are Pringles crisps racists?

[@artbest2581]

POP chips

[@cobalthorizon]

Why did you start talking so fast? It's annoying and makes it difficult to follow your story.

[@dorenjackson1166]

This guy talks so fast that some of his words are jumbled at times. Pointless

[@yuffei7]

first :P

[@michaelbest4356]

Worst potato chip imitation ever. over processed gruel. Taste like a combination of potato powder, paper pulp snd water.
