The most popular flavor among all the original flavors is the potato flavor, followed by the sour cream & onion flavor, and then the salt and vinegar flavor.Īs we can see from customer reviews, customers still enjoy and appreciate the original taste and benefits of these snacks, such as not crumbling or spreading grease on their hands. The original version, lightly salted & fat-reduced, still exists in different packaging types and sizes. Currently, Pringles are available in many flavors but with the original design. In 2012, P&G was sold to the American food company Kellogg’s. Interestingly they won the case but later on, it was repealed. After some time, P&G took a stand in court that their snacks are not potato chips in order to avoid paying taxes on chips made from potatoes. So they had to change it from the “Chips” to the “Crisps”.

A chip is a real and full slice of potato. Later on, a competitor filed a case against P&G that they could not name their dough-based snacks “potato chips”. The initial name of these snacks was “Pringles Newfangled Potato Chips”. But it is from the potato-processing patent holder name Mark Pringle. However, later on, the saddle design was patented in the name of Liepa. Baur is the original inventor of the can and holds the patent. So they had to wait and improve it, so the launch was put on hold for a few years.Įventually, P&G began selling them after Alexander Liepa came on board to improve the taste.
However, the taste of the newly invented chips was not improved. In order to design a snack that doesn’t crumble, the chemist experimented a lot with the combination of potato and dough.īaur used a robust tabular container as a can to avoid crumbling, and he invented a lid with a reusable plastic cap. The new king of potato chips has been designed by a chemist and the can have been created by Fredric J. With the long R&D effort, the aim was to design snacks that would not crumble and break, would stay fresh for a longer period of time, and would keep clothes and hands grease-free.Īfter that, snack packaging became available in cans, allowing these benefits to be achieved. Procter & Gamble (P&G) has been researching and developing the product for 10 years to defeat its competitors. Pringles is a popular American potato snack brand that was first launched in 1968.
The Pingel family has been with us for more than 50 years.
