Pringles, manufactured and marketed by Procter and Gamble, are a snack chip made from reconstituted potato dough. They are known for their innovative packaging. Rather than being packaged in a traditional bag, they are stacked in a can, which reduces breakage. Originally the chips were marketed as Pringles Newfangled Potato Chips.
Pringles are popular with kids and adults alike and come in a variety of flavors. You can also purchase different size packages for your individual needs. Pringles are also used in some recipes.
