How many Pringles do you get in a tube?
Just the sight of these potato snacks has us salivating (Picture: Bloomberg via Getty Images) Anyone who can resist sticking their hand in a tub of Pringles once the lid is off has willpower stronger than us ordinary mortals. In the words of their catchy advertising slogan ‘once you pop, you can’t stop’, you may have wolfed down a three course gourmet dinner and be full to bursting but you’d still not be able to stop yourself devouring a tube of them. Pringles are addictive. Fact. (Pic: Metro/MylesGoode) Pringles were invented in the late-60s as an advanced alternative to the conventional crisp — uniform in shape and of course addictive in taste. Alexander Liepa, an employee of soap and food company Procter & Gamble (P&G) dreamed them up, naming them the Pringles Newfangled Potato Chips. Even the tubs are designed to appeal What else made them stand out was their distinctive tubs – different from the plastic bags other crisps are served in. But compared to other crisps, Pringles potato content is on the low side – just 42 per cent. Its snacks are a mix of potato flakes, corn flour, wheat starch and rice flour, mixed with water and preservatives.
- This sludge is rolled into a thin sheet and cut by machine into ovals, which are pressed into their distinctive curved shape on a conveyor belt and fried in vegetable oil for exactly 11 seconds.
- The manufacturers have designed them to be as moreish as possible and they contain a list of ingredients to get your taste buds salivating – mainly fat, salt and sugar – and even if you’re not hungry the human brain is made to seek out fat and sugar hence the addictive nature of these crisps.
A 30g serving of original Pringles — roughly 13 crisps — contains 155 calories, nearly 10g of fat, just less than 0.5g sugar and 0.5g of salt. But who stops at just 13 when there are around 90 in a tube? Not us.

How many potatoes are in a can of Pringles?
Facts about Pringles chips IN THE CHIPS Trivia about Pringles chips, which Kellogg Co. said it will buy from Procter & Gamble Co. for $2.7 billion. ■The chips were first test marketed in 1968, then went on sale nationally in 1971.
■The chips are made from a dough that is just 42 percent dried potatoes; the dough is cut and placed on carriers, fried, and seasoned on one side. ■It takes about three or four potatoes to make a can of Pringles. ■The chips got their name after a P&G employee noticed a street called “Pringle Drive” in Cincinnati; the name had a cheerful, nostalgic sound that executives felt paired well with the word “potato.” ■The chips were packaged in cans to preserve the freshness and the shape of the chips. ■An artist created the mustachioed man on the can. ■The man who designed the Pringles packaging system was so proud of his accomplishment that a portion of his ashes were buried in one of the tall, circular cans.
■Two-thirds of Pringles’ $1.5 billion in annual sales comes from outside the United States. SOURCE: Procter & Gamble Co. : Facts about Pringles chips
How many Pringles is 30g?
There are 160 calories in 16 crisps (30 g) of Pringles Original (30g).
How many Pringles are in a tube UK?
Harry: So, it looks like a regular tube in the UK contains around 92 Pringles. How many can I get in my mouth at once?
How many Pringles in a 40g can?
Is it 100? Is it 80? What if they’re pizza flavored? Don’t worry — I’ll get to the bottom of this (and the five Pringles cans I bought at Walmart) You know that game where there’s a jar full of jelly beans and you have to guess how many of them there are? Well, I suck at that game — I always tend to underestimate the amount.
- The same goes for any question like that, actually.
- My brain just isn’t wired for that kind of thing.
- However, my brain is programmed to find out anything and everything there is to know about Pringles.
- From why they’re shaped that way to why your hand can’t quite fit in a Pringles can, I’ve taken it upon myself to answer as many questions about the beloved potato(ish) chips as I can.
Thus, when I found out that a shit-ton of people are Googling ” How many Pringles are in a can? ” I decided to look into it. If I were to use my shitty guessing skills, I would’ve said there are like, 40 chips in a can. Of course, that’s not even close.
- The standard online answer is that there are ” about 100 ” chips per can, but the cans say that they contain “about” five servings of 16 chips, which means there’d be 80 Pringles in there.
- A difference of 20 chips is a huge discrepancy in my eyes, so I went to Walmart to figure this out myself.
- To keep things as scientific as possible, I bought three cans of plain Pringles plus two other flavors,
I theorized that the flavored Pringles might be microscopically thicker than the plain ones because they have more flavoring. But I wanted to test that idea, too. My test subjects As it turns out, “about 100″ chips is way off. Of the three cans of Original Pringles I counted out, two cans had 79 chips while the last one had 78. Conservatively speaking, the average can of Pringles does indeed contain about 80 Pringles, just like the nutrition facts says it does. Can you count all 79? If you want to compare that to a standard bag of potato chips, both Pringles and regular potato chips — like Original Lays, for example — have the same serving size of ” about 15 chips,” For both, that’s one ounce of chips per serving, but while a can of Pringles is more compact and efficient than a bag of chips, at 5.2 ounces, it does contain less chips than a standard bag of chips, which are generally seven to 10 ounces,
Per ounce, Pringles also contain a hell of a lot less potato, as they’re only 42 percent potato (that adds up to about three to four potatoes per can of Pringles, according to The Boston Globe ); the rest is dough made from corn flour and other ingredients (that’s why they can’t legally be called “chips” in the U.S.).
There is, however, one more mystery I stumbled across: Like I mentioned earlier, I’d theorized that flavored Pringles might be microscopically thicker than the original version, but both the can of sour cream and onion chips and the can of pizza-flavored chips had 82 Pringles per can, which is three more Pringles than I counted in the “Original” cans.
- They’re marginally heavier than Original Pringles, as a flavored can weighs 5.5 ounces versus the plain’s 5.2, but unless it’s just a simple luck of the draw, I couldn’t account for why more flavored Pringles could fit into a can of the same size.
- I reached out to Pringles for comment, but it’s been a few days and I haven’t heard back.
Perhaps they dismissed my query as the ravings of a madman, or maybe they’re hiding something. One thing is for sure, though — I’ll never run out of Pringles-related questions for as long as I live.
How long is a 200g tube of Pringles?
Pringles hit by ‘shrinkflation’ as the size of tube cut by 35g but price goes up Pringles have been hit by ‘shrinkflation’ after it was revealed that the popular crisp company has reduced the size of the tube by 17.5 per cent. The standard 200g Pringles can has shrunk by 35g since January 2022 and now weighs 165g.
The new 165g can of Pringles comes with a recommended retail price of €2.99, compared to €3.29 for a 200g Pringles can. However, despite the smaller size and price, the 165g Pringles tube works out at 10% more expensive per gram. This comes as many Pringles lovers noticed the new, smaller 165g tubes on supermarket shelves, with the new logo design, side-by-side with the 200g tubes.
The difference is visible as the 200g tubes are 25.5cm tall and the 165g tubes are 23cm tall. Eagle-eyed customers reported that some shops were selling the 165g Pringles tube at the same price as the 200g tube, and Dunnes Stores is currently selling both on special offer for €2. 
Pringles on the shelf (Image: Reddit) Pringles said the change to the weight of the standard tube of Pringles was made due to inflation, as the cost of making the crisps has increased. A spokesperson for Pringles told the Irish Mirror: “The recommended retail price of Pringles hasn’t changed in Ireland since 2017, but since then there has been a significant increase in the costs of making this product.
“You’ll still be able to find great offers on Pringles throughout the year and the price does vary store by store, as it’s the grocer’s absolute discretion and decision what price to charge you.”Pringles lovers have been outraged by the ‘shrinkflation’ and have taken to online forums to vent.One Reddit Ireland user wrote: “Have we not snackrificed enough already?”
Another person complained that the newly-sized tube wouldn’t be satisfying, saying: “165g is hardly enough for a single serving. I’m going to have to buy two tubes at a time now.” And another said: “Everything is getting smaller except the f***in price of it all.
Are Pringles 100% potato?
For me, Pringles are an away food. I never ever buy them at home. I don’t keep them stocked in my pantry. I don’t ever get a Pringles craving while in my zip code. But put me in an airport, or alone in a hotel room with a stocked minibar? I go Pringles every time.
- I’m not really sure why I love Pringles while traveling,
- I suppose on an airplane, the tidy stack of curvy crisps are easy to eat, not likely to drop greasy crumbs all over myself, and are unobtrusive to seatmates.
- In a hotel room, there is something wonderfully indulgent about a mini can of sour cream and onion and a Fixer Upper marathon.
Pringles have always been their own thing, although I never thought they tasted of potato, I just thought they taste of Pringles. Sort of like trying to suss out the flavor of Swedish Fish. They don’t taste like fish, I can’t ascertain any particular red fruit they might represent, they just taste like, well, Swedish Fish.
- But apparently Pringles are 42 percent potato, so while they might not taste specifically potatoey to me, they are technically a potato chip, right? Not so fast.
- Consumers’ two prime complaints about potato chips back in the 1950s were greasiness and breakage.
- No one wanted oily fingers marking up their plastic sofa covers, and a bag full of little broken potato shards makes for a sad accompaniment to your pitcher of Tom Collinses.
(See also: not ideal for eating on airplanes.) So Proctor and Gamble set out to make a potato chip that wouldn’t be so prone to breakage, and might be a bit easier on the upholstery. That required a chip that could be shipped in a sturdier container than the usual bag, and the scientists set out to make a formed potato chip that could be stacked in a protective canister.
After nearly a decade of hits and misses, the parabolic shape emerged, made by taking a dough of dehydrated potato along with potato, corn, and wheat flours, with some flavoring agents, oils and seasonings and rolling it paper-thin. Then they cut it into ovals and load them onto little perforated curved baskets before sending the basket through a fryer.
Genius—stackable potato chips that resist breaking due to magic shape and fun canister packaging. By the late 1960s Pringles were on the shelves. Just one problem: Can you call them a potato chip? pringles spilling out of a can Credit: Photo by Juan Monino via Getty Images Competitors said nay, they do not meet the standard of proof to be a chip, since Pringles are not made from fresh potato and are only 42 percent potato content. After all, if you are making the greasy, breakable chips in bags, being actual potato chips is all you’ve got to argue.
- So the company decided to call them potato “crisps,” getting the other chip people off their back.
- That was fine here in the States, but in the UK there would be a whole crisp/chip kerfuffle.
- And not just because our British brethren call chips “crisps” on the daily, their chips being our fries and so on down the rabbit hole of our common language.
Oh no. This was much bigger than semantics. In 2009 there was a lawsuit over Pringles in the UK about whether or not they were by definition potato chips. And it wasn’t brought by competitors, but rather the British government. There’s a lot of British legal mumbo jumbo that I will spare you, but the upshot was this: If they are potato chips, then they were taxable for the Value Added Tax.
You know, the dreaded VAT we always think we will stand in line at the airports in Europe to get returned to us and never bother to follow through on.) Proctor and Gamble maintained that since they are only 42 percent potato, and are made from a dough-like product more in line with a cracker or biscuit, they would qualify as a savory snack and be exempt from the tax—which they had not bothered to pay for many years.
Surely, said P&G, if the crisps are not made 100 percent of potato, they cannot qualify as a potato chip. This ‘Aristotelian question’ of whether a product has the ‘essence of potato,’ simply cannot be answered. Lord Justice Jacob of the Supreme Court of Judicature said no and cited the famous legal premise that a combination orange and grapefruit marmalade is still marmalade even if it isn’t 100 percent made of either fruit.
“Procter & Gamble’s argument that to be taxable a product must contain enough potato to have the quality of potatoness, This ‘Aristotelian question’ of whether a product has the ‘essence of potato,'” he insisted, “simply cannot be answered.” I love a Lord Justice who isn’t afraid to get into the potatoness of a thing.
The court ruled them a potato chip after all, and Proctor and Gamble had to pony up over 100 million pounds in back taxes, and an estimated 20 million a year moving forward. Ouch. Potato chip or crisp, I still think they are the best thing to eat on an airplane.

Does Italy sell 3ft Pringles?
You know what they say about Pringles, don’t you? Once you pop, you just can’t stop. But imagine if you had a 3ft tube of Pringles and you ‘popped it’. Would you still end up not being able to stop until they were all gone? Probably, tbh The reason we ask is that we just found out that 3ft tubes of Pringles exist, and it’s literally the stuff of crisps-based dreams.
We know about these mega tubes thanks to @nocontextbrits on Twitter who shared a photo of a shop in Italy selling a whole load of these 3ft tubes of Pringles and we’ve never been sadder that flights abroad are pretty much out of the question right now. But at least us Brits have Pringles’ new flavours to take our minds off of it.
Pringles has brought back two popular flavours for a limited time: Pulled Pork and Doner Kebab. Now, Pulled Pork Burger sounds like a flavour we can get behind, but we’re not so sure about Doner Kebab. but happy to be proven wrong!

Why are Pringles so addictive?
Why is it? Once you pop, you can’t stop! – Remember this advertising slogan? Can you relate to it? Why is it when we start to eat highly processed foods, we can’t stop? I’ll let you into a secret, it’s not your fault, there is a science behind why when you start you can’t stop! Here are the top 5 reasons why:
Modern-day food flavour technology is able to fool our brains into experiencing heightened levels of pleasure through highly processed foods like Pringles, by increasing levels of dopamine in the brain, sadly without any of the nutritional benefits. In nature, flavour is associated with nutrition, but these artificially engineered foods abuse this association, by making these processed foods so palatable and moorish, that our brain drives us to want more and ignore our satiety (feeling full) signals.
This synthetic flavour technology not only breaks the connection between flavour and nutrition – it causes the brain to crave these flavours and causes us to seek out these dopamine hits of pleasure, almost like a cocaine addiction. When you put fat and sugar together, it is one of the strongest stimulators of dopamine, which encourages repeat behaviour, and drives overconsumption of these foods. Think about the difference between eating a spoonful of cream or a spoonful of sugar separately, and then think about what happens when we mix the two together. Thinking about caramel, ice cream, chocolate bars, crisps – these create the ‘bliss point’.
Flavour technology and the use of the ‘bliss point’ makes it really hard for us to be able to stop eating these types of foods and can lead to overconsumption and loss of satiety.
Our bodies have many different systems that protect us from a calorie deficit, ie. survival techniques, however, our bodies do not have any mechanisms to protect us from excessive calorie intake.
In our modern-day society, due to the amounts of processed foods surrounding us, we have lost the ability to know what food is good for us. Have you ever watched animals? They still have that instinctive natural food selection, which means they seek out foods containing the nutrients they lack. and they know when to stop (unless they are a Labrador!) My cat, when she’s feeling a bit queasy from too much mouse hunting, will go and chew on my plants- she knows it’s what she needs.
So in short, this is why it’s so important to stay away from these processed foods and stick to real foods in their natural forms. 
Why are Pringles in a tube?
When we talk about the importance of strong package design, we’re usually talking about the graphics. After all, most CPG products are sold in standard boxes and bags, and graphics are the element that really lets them stand apart from their competitors.
- However, an interesting and innovative packaging shape can also add a lot of brand equity by making the product distinct and memorable.
- One of the best examples of this is Pringles®, which are sold in a tube that is completely unlike any other packaging found in the snack aisle.
- But how did this iconic shape come to be in the first place? Not Everyone Embraced the Concept The idea of the Pringles® canister was first invented by the chemist Fredric Baur in 1966.
Because potato chips are fragile, Baur felt that simply tossing them in a bag was an inefficient method of storage. By putting the potato crisps in a can, Pringles® could offer consumers a compelling brand promise – that their snacks would be completely uniform, with every single crisp exactly alike. However, according to Phil Lempert of the Supermarket Guru, uniformity wasn’t always something that brands necessarily wanted to embrace. Potato chips in particular offered a kind of scavenger hunt element, since they can be so varied. Consumers liked the idea of hunting for big chips, curled chips, or whatever their favorite shape happened to be, and there was a sort of gamified element that would be lost if shoppers already knew precisely what they’d get every time they reached into the can. Their new boost in popularity was attributed to two different ad campaigns – one that introduced the tagline ” Fever for the Flavor of Pringles ®,” and another that starred actor Brad Pitt, During this sales boom, the Pringles® mascot also underwent his first redesign.
A Lasting Legacy Today, Pringles® are sold in over 140 countries. While their flavors are localized and come in everything from Piri Piri Chicken Flavor to Salt and Seaweed Flavor, the iconic can is the same wherever you go. Frederic Baur was so proud of his invention that he actually insisted on being buried in a can after he died.
When he passed away in 2008, his family honored his wishes and were featured in the news all over the world. Takeaways for Brand Leaders What can brands learn from the Pringles® can? Their unique packaging doesn’t succeed just because it’s a novelty. Rather, it serves a real purpose that makes the product better and helps the brand live up to its brand promise.
