Fun fact: Pringles aren’t potato chips, according to the snack’s original owners
In an effort to avoid a value-added tax of 15 per cent, Procter & Gamble (P&G), the original owners of Pringles, made the case in 2008 that Pringles aren’t actually potato chips.
Their reasoning? Pringles’ shape and packaging are “not found in nature.” However, a British court ruled that since Pringles are 42 per cent potato, they qualify as potato chips. And under the rule of law, potato chips are taxed.
