His family respected his wishes, so that&rsquo;s what they did.\n</p><h2>The Pringle and its popularity.\n</h2><p>Pringles are thin saddle-shaped potato crisps (the actual name for the shape of Pringles is a Hyperbolic Paraboloid) that are very popular today; they are sold in over 140 countries and make an annual sale of over 1.4 billion dollars.\n</p><p>The reason Pringles are the favorite chips of many people is that they are neatly packaged, which means they don&rsquo;t come out broken.\n</p><p>Not only that, but they are not greasy, they stay fresh for longer than crisps in bags, and it is designed for eating some now and some later, whereas in a bag, you have to eat them when they are opened soon, or they will go soft.\n</p><h2>Flavors to tingle your tastebuds.\n</h2><p>Pringles come in all the standard flavors: Barbecue, Cheddar&nbsp;<a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/top-twenty-cheese-facts%5C/%5C%22">Cheese, Cheese &amp; Onion, Hot &amp; Spicy, Original, Salt &amp; Vinegar, and Sour Cream &amp; </a><a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/onion-facts%5C/%5C%22">Onion.\n<p>Sometimes Procter &amp; Gamble produces limited edition flavors, past ones have been Chilli Cheese Dog, Ketchup, Texas BBQ Sauce, and Cajun.\n</p><h2>A lid-poppin\u2019 lawsuit.\n</h2><p>In July 2008, Procter &amp; Gamble lawyers successfully argued against Keiron Williams that Pringles are not potato chips, as their actual potato content is only 4%.\n</p><p>This excludes Pringles from the 15% Value Added Tax for potato chips.\n</p><p>&nbsp;\n</p><p>One final fact; A Pringles can is useful to make a &ldquo;cantenna,&rdquo; which is basically an antenna made from a can.\n</p><p>Because the inside of Pringles cans is made of foil, the tube can be used for extending wireless networks, phone, and radio reception.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>You know the saying \u201conce you pop you can\u2019t stop!\u201d We all know how true it is as well.
