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.

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...

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 14 minutes ago

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

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

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] just_an_average_joe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why how many universes do you have in your cylinder?

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Our universe is but one Pringle in a can.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Mostly air then... Figures

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Multiverse is cylindrical

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] ggppjj@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Geez where’s your sense of humour today? 😁

[–] new_guy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Good ol compound curves
