UK Judge rules Pringles are not potatoes

Julius Pringles

Who didn’t see this coming?  I mean honestly, what about the Pringle screams potato?  Procter and Gamble, the makers of Pringles, have claimed that Pringles “didn’t look like a chip, didn’t feel like a chip and didn’t taste like a chip”  Pringles are made from “the potato, or from potato flour, or from potato starch,” which classifies them under the potato crisp, not the chip.  Unlike chips, the Pringle is meant to melt down on your tongue, not break up into jagged pieces in your mouth.

Warren agreed. Pringles aren’t “made from the potato” for the purposes of the tax exemption, he said. He didn’t say what Pringles are, other than that they’re tax-exempt.

    I’m kind of freaked out now, I had no idea they weren’t really chips.
