The actual title of this video is "Why Do Pringles Come In A Can?" I thought everyone knew. A long time ago, I lived in a town with a Pringles factory, and knew people who actually made them. See, potato chips are made by slicing a potato very thin and then frying or baking the slices until they are crisp. That's not how Pringles are made at all. I assumed they were made from mashed potatoes, but that's not the full story, either.
Pringles is the only potato chip, er, crisp, that comes in a can because real potato chips won't fit in a can. But the can has an advantage in that Pringles can be shipped anywhere and arrive intact. (via the Awesomer)

Pringles Are Not Potato Chips

When I was a small kid in the '60s our elementary school had a culture day where kids brought food in from their family's culture. One girl brought in these unmarked cardboard cans that had these potato chip type things in them. She said her father worked in advertising for this company and this was a new product they were considering putting on the market.
Wow! It sounds like a last-minute idea on their part that turned out to be something you never forgot.
