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.

Meanwhile, there's also Lay's Stax

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 1 week 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?

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

Why how many universes do you have in your cylinder?

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

Our universe is but one Pringle in a can.

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

Mostly air then... Figures

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

Multiverse is cylindrical

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

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

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week 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 6 points 1 week ago

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

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

Geez where’s your sense of humour today? 😁

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The packaging or the chips?

[–] Draconic_NEO@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

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
