I didn't know Pringles were fried. My dad speculated they were made from bits of potato swept up from a factory floor. 🤮 Still, I love them. What should I know about Pringles? Or do I want to know...?

I can remember when I was a kid in the 70's and my mom had picked up Pringles and surprised my brother and sister and me. It was epic! And the can actually had a metal lid that had a pull tab to open to the cylinder. It was like WOW! We were pretty poor at the time, but I felt pretty rich in the moment.

@@JosephDavies I swear that here in the states, they are required to call rehydrated potato chips, "crisps" because the potato chip industry cried foul when Pringles came out. And yeah, I know that "chips" are French fried potatos in the UK/Europe.

@@JosephDavies Dude, EVERYONE in America still calls them Pringles Chips... I was just making an observation about their labeling. Government sucks, but Pringles are still chips for everyone! OK, now I'm craving some Pringles...
Just for accuracy and correct information, Pringles are not considered potato chips. In 1975, the FDA said that Pringles can only be called potato chips if they were made from real dried potatoes. Pringles then rebranded them as Crisps. Just want to make sure accurate information is being told. You can’t call Pringles chips. It may be potato based, but the potato is not sliced and processed. The potato is made into dough.
I‘be been told the opposite is the case in England. (disregarding Pringles) what we called “potato chips”, they call “potato crisis”. So, (I’ve been told) in the UK, Pringle’s are called “Potato Chips”
After watching alot of how they are made I am awestruck. The engineers had to design and build these machines that are highly specialized and never before made. I’m sure the first machine had a few bugs to iron out before producing more. Love to see the design process to design these unique and specialized machines 😊👍
When I was in the Army and serving in Vietnam, the only potato chips sold at local PX were Pringles. Stacked in their unique tube container with the same unchanged straw hat and mustached guy logo, they were the only potato chip that could survive and arrive unbroken and fresh, after being shipped overseas.
I hope you liked them, then! I like them now! I was not in the army, but I've been in places where there was a lot of army type food, such as powdered milk, powdered eggs and powdered orange juice. I happen to like foods that can survive long trips, and I do like Pringles every now and then. Can't eat too much of them, but they're not as bad as some other things we eat. Go Pringles.
I remember back in the 90s, the Pringles version we used to get was a bigger oval, and more flavorful than the small ones we have today. Before, the cheese would stick to your fingers but now, they're so pale.
I hope they leave a note with the relics of these machines when some civilization down the road unearths them because they'll never figure it out otherwise.
I might be wrong, but I heard the Gene Wolfe designed the original Pringle machines. Gene Wolfe is better known for his Science fiction novels such as The Shadow of the Torturer. Before you rush out to find a copy, you should know the Gene had an immense vocabulary and his novels are challenging to read... A doctorate student wrote a paper entitled "Definitions of Excruciatingly Arcane Words Found in Gene Wolfe's THE SHADOW OF THE TORTURER". Happy reading!
I use to live near pepperidge Farm cookie factory in Cache County Utah. the factory had thrift store they sell slightly mistake cookies for cheap price per pound. I wish, if I live near Pringle factory, they may also have store sell slightly defected chips.
I like Pringles, but they have gotten pretty expensive like everything else these days. As a fan of fabricated and formed potato snacks, I remember Carl's Jr. in the 70's had french fries that were pressed from a potato starch to look like crinkle fries and they were pretty good too. A lot better than the sub par fries they serve today.
Yep, I worked at Carl's Jr. back in the mid 70's, and we would add the potato powder to a special type hopper rhat would in turn add water and the fries would be extruded into the hot oil. They were no too bad, but not great! There was a menu item that they really should bring back, and that was the "California Roast Beef" sandwich.
If another nation wants to come and invest in Haiti, I am ready to support you! Haiti is a business country, come in crowds if you want to get rich! I'm waiting for you,
Yep, but in my country Pringles are expensive and is not worth the extra money. Other famous brands such as Lays which is the top seller here because they have a huge variety to choose from, and is much cheaper than the overprized Pringles.
Pringles don't taste the same as they used to. I have never been a chip person, but when I tried pringles I think I ate the whole can. That was like 30+ years ago. Maybe my taste buds have changed but I got one of those mini cans a few years ago and the chips just did not taste the same.
@Shueybalooey I also was a former 10 yr. employee in Tennessee and I agree the video doesn't do justice to the Quality standards followed in the production of these tasty Crisps .
Whattt! The quality is mind-blowing🤯. Heck, I don't even know why you don't have many subscribers "yet" 'cause I really thought you were a big channel before I saw the subscriber count. Hope you gain loads of subscribers
Thanks for your expertise. It is just sped up which makes the original VO sound a bit hollow. If you want me to send you the original VO, just give me your email ;)
@@Fan-TECH-stic Noo, it's alright, I mean to me the voice sounded too genuine to be AI-generated as the above commenter said. Again, the video is incredible, and thanks for the reply;-)
I do not like the jumping back and forth showing the same sequence multiple times, especially since its not really synced to the narrator voice, makes it harder to follow and feels almost as running at 125 % speed, not a good video in my opinion.
I notice this video doesn't show how they make the double bend in the Pringles chip, they show the chip double bent but they don't show how Proctor and Gamble does that.. There is a lot of scientific hype but nothing on the double bend.
I kinda guessed that there must be some kinda mashing and rolling happening here, without which that mathematical precision of shape wouldn’t obtain. The surprise in the package is that “potatoness” of the potato is literally squeezed out, and what we’re really getting is artificially flavoured starch… which may well be true for other apparently traditional chips brands as well…
The problem with Pringles is the chips made in their Malaysian factory tastes nothing like the American made Pringles and they are smaller. Every market that Pringles now supplies from Malaysia (like Australia) has suffered an exodus of customers
While it is interesting from a manufacturing perspective, I much prefer a potato chip where the only ingredients are potatoes, vegetable oil and a little salt. Overly processed foods - no thank you.
these days, you're lucky if the can of pringles you buy actually have any seasoning on them. and the last 4 cans that i bought were all cut way to thick!!! they need to start putting more seasoning on them!!! actually
Another mystery solved. I honestly thought Pringles were chopped up potatoes. But they are not even potatoes - they are potato starch! They are so bad for you. They are pure starch. I like how he said a flavor was added to make the potato flavor but never said what it was. LOL
Potato starch is a good source of resistant starch, which is a type of dietary fibre that has been linked to various health benefits, such as improved gut health, better blood sugar control, and reduced risk of colon cancer.
And WHEAT is added. NOT GLUTEN FREE. Can be dangerous if you are intolerant or have a sensitivity- (I used to think they were potato chips) there should be a warning label on these things! Why can’t they make a gluten free version of this flavor delivery device?
"the pringles making process takes about 20 minutes. However, the effect of a standard bottle of pringles lasts much longer..." HAH! Doesn't last longer than 20 minutes if you're me...
I Have one Question, Lately when i try Pringles Sour Cream it doesn't taste like it, it's a nasty Taste of Lead which i why i started eatting Original, Cheese and BBQ Their favor is still true to the day i ate them in the 90's! otherwise i still love Pringles the Sour Cream n' Onion needs more help. Favorite Favor is Wendy's Spicy Sandwich and Chill Cheese Dog!
I think you missed the step where they get broken into little pieces before getting put on the shelves .... not sure if it is the pot holes in Ohio, or the guy that throws the boxes off the delivery truck.
Pringle’s were NOT introduced in the 1950’s, but early 1970s. Once I heard this mistake, I didn’t watch the rest of the video as I realized proper research had not been done.
Pringles is called "Cancer in a can" for all the nasty chemicals they add to their product. That after-taste and addictiveness is quite unique. I used to be a fan of the Sourcream and onion flavor 20 years ago. It's not just P&G, but all the junk food manufacturers use a lot of proprietary chemicals to make us sick. Sadly, FDA is not on our side.
ahhhh this is just a remake video of the video on 'how its made' the factory this video is up isn't even making pringles its making flip flex chips. So not only is the video advertisment incorrect.

Dunning/Krueger effect- unless you know how complicated something is, you can’t understand how complicated it is.
The flavor of these chips are non existent- everytime I buy them I just think I got a bad batch of nothingness taste!!!

I wish the narrator mentioned that the flavor only goes on one side of the crisp.
Is their actually flavor to these chips????

The science and production engineering are amazing. We do enjoy the end product, in addition to potato chips.

Never saw a bottle of Pringles or a bag or box either
I hope they leave a note with the relics of these machines when some civilization down the road unearths them because they'll never figure it out otherwise.
Some process engineer is very proud. He has the patent for the riffler/shaker hanging on his wall!
This was interesting. The audio mix is so weird and the clips are all out of order. I especially loved the stock lab footage, too. That was hilarious.

They are edible but don’t confuse them for food
I wouldn't eat those, even if they were free.
