Pringles are a brand of potato snacks produced by Procter & Gamble. Pringles were first sold in the United States in October of 1968; they were not rolled out across America until the mid-1970s^[1]. They were originally known as "Pringle's Newfangled Potato Chips", but the name was changed for introduction to the national market. Procter & Gamble chose the Pringles name from a Cincinnati telephone book, selecting Pringle Avenue in Finneytown, Ohio for its pleasing sound.^[2] Pringles are advertised in the United States with the slogan "Everything Pops with Pringles", and in the UK and elsewhere with "Once you pop, you just can't stop."^[3] In the United States, Pringles are not marketed as potato chips, but rather "potato crisps".

According to the patent, Pringles were invented by Alexander Liepa of Montgomery, Ohio. Science Fiction and Fantasy author Gene Wolfe developed the machine that cooks them. ^[4] Pringles are especially known for their packaging (invented by Fred Baur), which consists of a tubular can with a foil-coated interior, and a resealable plastic lid; it also has a famous logo, a stylized representation of a man with a large moustache and parted bangs (until 2001, the man, commonly known as "Julius Pringles", had eyebrows and his bow tie housed the product name.) The crisps are made to a uniform size and a hyperbolic paraboloid saddle shape, so that they stack very efficiently within the container, rather than being packaged loosely in a bag. The cans come in 170g, 163g, 50g, and 23g sizes. In early 2007, the company introduced an 80g size.^[5] For other uses, see Patent (disambiguation). ...

Pringles come in several flavours, and occasionally Procter & Gamble produces limited edition runs. Some flavours may be distributed only to limited market areas. Seasonal flavours, past and present, include ketchup, chili cheese dog, and Cajun. At one point in the early 90's, "Corn Pringles" were available. The canister was black and had cartoon images of corn as well as the normal packaging standards. The crisps were made of corn and resembled a corn chip in flavour and texture.

Newer products

• In 2004, Pringles Prints were introduced. Pringles Prints are the same as regular Pringles, except that these have trivia questions or jokes printed on them, using red or blue food coloring.

• In early 2007, Pringles introduced Pringles Select Gourmet Chips, which differ very much from Pringles. The most obvious initial difference is the packaging; Pringles Select are not packaged in the familiar canister; they come in a small bag. However, unlike other chips, the bag has a flat bottom, allowing it to stand, and it is designed to be opened at the top and sealed shut when it is not in use. Another difference is that the chips are not saddle-shaped, and do not neatly stack on one another. The biggest difference is that most of the varieties are not made of potatoes at all. They are made from a variety of bases, including rice, sweet potato, and corn. For example, the Szechuan Barbecue flavor comes in a rice chip.

• In early 2007, Pringles introduced Pringles Baked Wheat Stix, which are pretzel-like sticks that come in Vanilla, Wheat, Pizza, and Honey flavors. These are similar to Pretz.

• In 2007, Pringles introduced Pringles Minis, which are not packaged in the normal canisters, but instead in a small bag. The Pringles remain the same shape, but are much smaller in size.
