They're cardboard...

Their manufacturer wanted to prove they are not, so they would get a VAT break from the UK, but they failed. So they are potato chips, even though they taste like corn sometimes.

Lately I've been watching the PBS show "Jose's Made in Spain" which details traditional Spanish cooking and ingredients. Honestly, there are a great many tapas (small snacks) which can be made in 5 minutes and taste a billion times better then packed snack foods like chips. They're normally a lot healthier to boot.

I sometimes wonder if potatoes are made from potatoes.

These Pringles are making me thirsty!

[GogaMegaPis]

It probably is.

That would explain why the guy on the canister looks like Poirot.

How did the movie part go?

Read the damn ingredients label.

That means nothing in the world of legalese. You must know that by now.

Sind the indredients must be listed in descending order of percent of final product, mostly potatoes.

(Technically the Courts actually said it was an "Aristotlean question" on essences and also on "potatoness"

From Wikipedia:

In a London courtroom during July 2008, Procter & Gamble lawyers successfully argued against Keiron Williams that Pringles are not potato chips, as their actual potato content is only 42 percent. This exempts Pringles from the 15 percent Value Added Tax for potato chrceips and potato-derived snacks. The can does still sometimes bear the words "Potato Chips." However the Court of Appeal has reinstated the tribunal's decision. A spokesperson for Procter & Gamble stated that they have been paying the Value Added Tax protectively and therefore will not owe back taxes

What's next? M&Ms are not really made of chocolate?

Around my parts you aren't allowed to say anything bad about P&G in public. But you can get pringles on sale for 0.89c.

For the record, I think P&G is the root of all evil. The Proctoids like to say that the company would never compete in a market where they aren't #1 or #2. I find this statement annoying and only goes to show how full of themselves that company is. Not only do they work there employees into extinction but they run around acting like it's all the rave, only to find that the backroom meetings aren't as fun and games as they would let you on to believe.

Note, pringles is not #1 or #2 in the potato chip world (so far that I know of). So, that would mean that P&G is not competing in that market... ergo, pringles are not potato chips.
