They are always broken. A lot!

Have you seen how they handle transported things!?

According to someone who worked in marketing for pringles in taiwan, pringles consumers are more likely to be "type a" sorts - controlling, finicky, prefer heavily structured environments, highly value neatness, etc.

I mean, marketing is basically business astrology, so...

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Makes sense, because the flavor/satisfaction to dollar ratio isn’t great. But it’s the only chip you can get in a neat stack and easily individually count out.

Meanwhile, there's also Lay's Stax

We don't talk about those

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

why not? theyre delicious compared to Pringles. probably my favorite chip of all time

Woolies homebrand sells the same thing as pringles but bigger and for cheaper. Do they not have knockoff pringles where you live?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I’ve never seen any, we don’t have Woolies where I live. Store brand chips just come in a bag.

Wouldn’t it be bizarre and ironic if the universe is shaped exactly like a Pringle?

Why how many universes do you have in your cylinder?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Our universe is but one Pringle in a can.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Mostly air then... Figures

Multiverse is cylindrical

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

What if there's a pan dimensional being with their hands stuck in the cosmical cylinder trying to grab our universe?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well the universe is 3+1 dimensional, and a Pringle is 2 dimensional, so yeah that would be bizarre.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I've never seen a Pringle without width suspended in time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Geez where’s your sense of humour today? 😁

Also explains how they made them half the size they used to be so easily.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

The packaging or the chips?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately reality doesn't always work out the way maths intended it to. Almost all the ones I've gotten had many of them broken. Makes for slick marketing though.

Good ol compound curves
