Weird concepts - printing on potato chips...

Yes, Pringles (the artifically mass produced stacked potato chip) is going to start printing "fun facts" and trivia questions on their potato chips. What's next? Cartoon characters? I can see a new revenue stream - Pokemon chips: gotta eat them all! <shudder>

as opposed to a naturally mass produced stacked potato chip?

They should be required to print the fat, calorie, carb and sodium content on each chip...

-Zeke

How long till they remove the fun-facts and replace them with ads?

Wow, what a concept: grow smarter as you grow fatter. We'll all be a bunch of academic fat a$$es.

Better than just plain old fat a$$es, I guess.

No... as opposed to clothing worn by golfers

ha ha - took me a couple of tries to work out what you meant - especially as the initial post was off the top of my screen by that time.

Ya wanna clue me in?

Wish I knew what they were talking about as well, but while Googling for Pringles I found out many things...

You can use the can to:
Make a Wi_fi antenna
Make a solar oven
Make a bird castle
Make a pencil can
Make a Decorative Bank

Gene Wolfe was involved in the invention of the machine that makes Pringles.
In May, 2003 the Pringles plant was shut down by a tornado; 6-week supply remained at the time.
Pringles were invented in the same year I was, 1968...

Fascinating stuff, I tell ya...

edit
Then I Googled "Pringles golf" and found out it's "Pringle of Scotland Designers & manufacturers of the finest cashmere fashion and sportswear. Based in Hawick, Scotland." I found the results of first search more interesting, though.

Ah!!! Understanding dawns...

Seems its not a brand known in USA?

And there was me thinking Pringle had the world golf clothing market sewn up (pun intended) as you see their jumpers and cardigans in ever international golf tournament.

In Soviet Russia potato chip prints on YOU!!
