About Pringles

Pringles are uniformly shaped crisps stacked in a tube, developed by Procter & Gamble over a decade and launched in 1968. They were made from dehydrated potato, which led to a British court case over whether they were crisps for tax purposes. P&G sold the brand to Kellogg in 2012, and it went to Kellanova in the 2023 split.
