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.

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.

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

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

They are always broken. A lot!

Have you seen how they handle transported things!?

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?

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Our universe is but one Pringle in a can.

Mostly air then... Figures

Multiverse is cylindrical

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

Geez where’s your sense of humour today? 😁

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

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
