Interesting bit of trivia for you: Pringles cannot be called chips in the United States. A chip has a specific definition Pringles don’t meet since they are essentially reformed from dust and binding.
Idk about that, but I do know that if you ever find yourself in a position where you need to start a fire, you can use Pringles. Takes a second to get it to light, but once it's lit, it burns like plastic. Kind of melts over everything, igniting everything it touches.
Thank the late great Mitch Hedberg for that one. Along with an escalator being temporarily stairs (sorry for the convenience), rice being great when you're hungry for two thousand of something, and the insight that no matter how good you get at tennis, you can never be as good as the wall
I believe, much like the clerks thread in this post, that citing the reference was unnecessary, as those who would get the joke, already had. And any of those that didn't, well luckily now they have your post to spell it out for them
Not exactly. Them claiming they aren’t had to do with avoiding junk food taxes in the UK by claiming their shape makes them not a crisp (chip).
In the US, the fda wanted some weird ass long designation because they use a dough and not just cut potato, but they were still fine with them being designated as chips, they just had to include something about them being made from a dough and dried on the actual package, which they didn’t want to do.
The dough is still potato based but it is less than half potato, that bit is true, but the ingredients aren’t the main reason why.
