I heard from a P&G employee that Pringles came about due to technological advances in how they made nappies. Someone realised their unique process could be used for cooking and shaping food products and Pringles was the result!
- gumby 10y agoThat's not what I remember though it's quite possible. The development was outsourced to SWRI who does quite a lot of this work. There was a spec and SWRI developed everything from the formulation (binders, structural members etc) to the manufacturing process (something that survived mfg intact and in which failures wouldn't gum up the works) and mfg equipment. But it's quite possible a prototype had been developed at P&G's labs first (I have no idea if I would have been told that, or if I was and have forgotten).
