    How many potato chips are in a Pringles can?

    Question #119338. Asked by undudelike. (Dec 15 10 11:52 AM)

    		They were originally known as "Pringles Newfangled Potato Chips", but other snack manufacturers objected, saying that Pringles failed to meet the definition of a potato "chip". The US Food and Drug Administration weighed in on the matter, and in 1975, they ruled that Pringles could only use the word chip in their product name within the following phrase: "potato chips made from dried potatoes." Faced with such an unpalatable appellation, Pringles eventually opted to rename their product "potato crisps" instead of chips.
