How Pringles Are Made [Bad News: They’re 2/3 Potato Flakes]

potato

Ever wanted to know how Pringles are made? Apparently someone in the eighties already did the leg work for you. This delightfully vintage film goes through the entire process of the classic tube we know so well.  From making the tube itself to the full journey of each chip — it’s a great inside look for the curious foodie.

You learn a few uncomfortable things, like the fact that chips are one third water and two thirds potato flakes, plus seasoning. However, there’s some savvy stuff to learn as well, like how the dough scraps from cutting out the chips are reused (less waste!) and the potato rounds are fried in concave molds that give them their signature curve. It’s the kind of superfluous information that’ll come handy during Tuesday night trivia. A tasty win.
