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>

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

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

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.

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.

Haha - I am so glad I dialled back in after two bottles of wine this evening. This is why I am happy that inside I am probably 20 years younger
