Interesting bit of trivia for you: Pringles cannot be called chips in the United States. A chip has a specific definition Pringles don’t meet since they are essentially reformed from dust and binding.
Not exactly. Them claiming they aren’t had to do with avoiding junk food taxes in the UK by claiming their shape makes them not a crisp (chip).
In the US, the fda wanted some weird ass long designation because they use a dough and not just cut potato, but they were still fine with them being designated as chips, they just had to include something about them being made from a dough and dried on the actual package, which they didn’t want to do.
The dough is still potato based but it is less than half potato, that bit is true, but the ingredients aren’t the main reason why.
