How about Pringles Potato Chips Brand introduction

Recommended flavors: Original, yogurt onion, rich cheese, barbecue steak, tomato, butter caramel
 
Pringles was founded in 1970 by Procter & Gamble, with a history of nearly 40 years, and became a potato chip brand under Kellogg's in 2012.
 
Pringles potato chips are the world's first compound potato chips, but in 2008 the UK High Court ruled that Pringles potato chips contain only 42% potato content, which is different in appearance and taste from traditional potato chips, and should not be considered "potato chips", but should be potato products. Although the verdict was eventually rejected on appeal, there are still many people in the UK who believe that Pringles potato chips are not real potato chips.
 
The texture of compound potato chips is different from the light and crunchy of thinly sliced potato chips, with a slightly thicker texture and a thick and non-greasy texture, but not enough crispiness. The most distinctive feature of Pringles is that the shape of the chips is saddle-shaped, also known as hyperbolic paraboloids, which have been carefully calculated and developed by a supercomputer, which can limit the movement of the two axes, reduce the chance of chipping, and achieve the best cracking point in the mouth, increasing the crisp texture.
 
In addition, Pringles chips are packaged in long cans, which not only prevents the chips from chipping, but also allows the chips to be resealed, making it easier to eat in batches. To this day, Pringles' distinctive saddle shape and canned form is still synonymous with potato chips.
 
Similar to Lay's, Pringles offers different regional flavours, but the classic flavours of Original, Barbecue, Cheese and Yogur Onion are timeless and are available in various countries and regions to great acclaim. Pringles Original is lighter in fat than other brands of Original Potato Chips, durable and chewy, with a rich potato flavor. The yogurt onion flavor and tomato flavor are both sweet and sour, sweet and sour in the mouth, and the more you chew, the more salty and fragrant it becomes, and the aftertaste is endless.
 
The barbecue steak has a salty taste, a thick meat aroma mixed with salty potatoes, and the texture is crispy and chewy. Cheese lovers love the rich cheese flavor, with a hint of saltiness and potato sweetness.
 
The butter caramel flavor imitates Korean sweet potato chips, the taste is sweet, a bit like the cookie taste, the butter flavor is stronger, with a hint of caramel flavor, the taste is unique, and the pink packaging is more suitable for girls with a sweet tooth. In terms of price, Pringles potato chips are usually 110g per tube, and the price is around 9 yuan.
 
If you want to taste the flavor of Europe and the United States, you might as well try the salt and vinegar flavor, salt and vinegar are combined with each other, sour and salty, but unlike other brands of salt and vinegar flavor, this sour taste is not too heavy, and the original flavor of potatoes is stronger, which is deeply loved in European and American countries. Salt and vinegar flavor is generally an imported product, and domestic Taobao has purchasing agents, but the price is slightly more expensive.
 
Due to the unique and complex production process of Pringles, all Pringles are produced in two factories in the United States and Belgium, producing approximately 50,000,000 cases per year, but in recent years the production location has shifted from the United States to Malaysia, and the taste and packaging of the products have changed, but the overall difference is not significant. At present, domestic potato chips on the market are generally produced by domestic OEMs, and the manufacturer will mark them, so you can pay attention to them when purchasing.
