If Pringles aren't potato chips, what are they?
There's nothing like a good food debate to get us through the long Fourth of July weekend. And we have a hot one here. Seems like some Brits have their knickers in a twist over Pringles — those salty snacks that come neatly stacked in a tube. In a court ruling over whether the snacks should be taxed, a court ruled that Pringles cannot be called "crisps." (That's what they call potato chips across the pond.)
So, you ask, what exactly are Pringles made of? Read more here.
I wonder what Frederic J. Baur thinks of all of this. He invented Pringles' "potatoe crisp packaging system" and was reportedly so proud of the endeavor that he's buried in one of the cans.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Pringles?

Why Pringles are now thinnner?????? Because the economy is in trouble..... Do you remember the Pringles that we used to have a couple of month ago; they were thiker.
I dont' care paying more for good quality, but now that's something from the past.

Pringles are great tasting and they hold up well for travel. Matter of fact as a US Army Soldier they are one of the best snacks to eat when deployed.
