Ever Wondered How Pringles Are Made?! Join us on this FanTECHstic Factory Tour!

[@Qui_Gon_Ben]

Machinist here. The company I used to work for, we made all these machines for P&G. Specifically I made the oval cutter roll. The original had the shaped machined into a giant stainless steel roll. The one show here is the one we made, which has Nylon pucks that form the chip, that way they can be replaced if damaged etc.. This video so cool to see!

[@ShuWii]

As a former 10yr employee I can legitimately say there's a lot of subpar less-than-accurate information here. AMA.

[@susiemilligan7220]

I didn't know Pringles were fried. My dad speculated they were made from bits of potato swept up from a factory floor. 🤮 Still, I love them. What should I know about Pringles? Or do I want to know...?

[@spockspock]

Dunning/Krueger effect- unless you know how complicated something is, you can’t understand how complicated it is.

[@MrKerry4371]

The flavor of these chips are non existent- everytime I buy them I just think I got a bad batch of nothingness taste!!!

[@schisandra]

Do they really scrap an entire production line because of one bad chip?

[@ShuWii]

@@schisandra "it depends" on what you mean by"bad". Food safety problem? Oh yeah. A very minor quality defect? Nah. "Way put" of flavor, or wrong flavor? Maybe. Wrong dough? Yeah. There's many examples of not only yes/no shutdowns, but partials too.

[@mikekannely2286]

I can remember when I was a kid in the 70's and my mom had picked up Pringles and surprised my brother and sister and me. It was epic! And the can actually had a metal lid that had a pull tab to open to the cylinder. It was like WOW! We were pretty poor at the time, but I felt pretty rich in the moment. And then she kinda "poured" them out in a row like they did in the commercials on a platter. It was a Friday evening and my dad's burgers never tasted as good as they did that night with this exotic potato chip. (And yeah, they were called Chips back then). Thanks for the factory info...

[@JosephDavies]

They're still called chips. "Crisps" is a regional thing, common in places where "chips" is used for what we call "fries".

[@mikekannely2286]

@@JosephDavies I swear that here in the states, they are required to call rehydrated potato chips, "crisps" because the potato chip industry cried foul when Pringles came out. And yeah, I know that "chips" are French fried potatos in the UK/Europe.

[@JosephDavies]

@@mikekannely2286 Yeah, apparently there's some technical legal distinction due to the manufacturing process, but I don't know a single person who adheres to that naming convention in casual speech (and most probably don't even know about it). It matters for packaging and branding I guess, but we just don't use the word "crisps" here in this part of the US for them colloquially.

[@mikekannely2286]

@@JosephDavies Dude, EVERYONE in America still calls them Pringles Chips... I was just making an observation about their labeling. Government sucks, but Pringles are still chips for everyone! OK, now I'm craving some Pringles...

[@JosephDavies]

@@mikekannely2286 Yup! Definitely. :)

[@RickyRicardo0282]

Just for accuracy and correct information, Pringles are not considered potato chips. In 1975, the FDA said that Pringles can only be called potato chips if they were made from real dried potatoes. Pringles then rebranded them as Crisps. Just want to make sure accurate information is being told. You can’t call Pringles chips. It may be potato based, but the potato is not sliced and processed. The potato is made into dough.

[@5cloudwalker]

After watching alot of how they are made I am awestruck. The engineers had to design and build these machines that are highly specialized and never before made. I’m sure the first machine had a few bugs to iron out before producing more. Love to see the design process to design these unique and specialized machines 😊👍

[@zeppelinkiddy]

When I was in the Army and serving in Vietnam, the only potato chips sold at local PX were Pringles. Stacked in their unique tube container with the same unchanged straw hat and mustached guy logo, they were the only potato chip that could survive and arrive unbroken and fresh, after being shipped overseas.

[@mikekannely2286]

That makes sense, but is also an amazing stab into American war history. I had no idea, thanks!

[@leighb.8508]

I hope you liked them, then! I like them now! I was not in the army, but I've been in places where there was a lot of army type food, such as powdered milk, powdered eggs and powdered orange juice. I happen to like foods that can survive long trips, and I do like Pringles every now and then. Can't eat too much of them, but they're not as bad as some other things we eat. Go Pringles.

[@williamlittle7987]

[@hangbui4245]

great video, really enjoyed the inside look at the Pringles factory! but honestly, i’m not sure if the whole "stack" concept is as genius as everyone seems to think. i mean, wouldn’t it be better if they were just regular chips? less waste, right? just my two cents!

[@mayhewfisher62]

I hope they leave a note with the relics of these machines when some civilization down the road unearths them because they'll never figure it out otherwise.

I might be wrong, but I heard the Gene Wolfe designed the original Pringle machines. Gene Wolfe is better known for his Science fiction novels such as The Shadow of the Torturer. Before you rush out to find a copy, you should know the Gene had an immense vocabulary and his novels are challenging to read... A doctorate student wrote a paper entitled "Definitions of Excruciatingly Arcane Words Found in Gene Wolfe's THE SHADOW OF THE TORTURER". Happy reading!

I like Pringles, but they have gotten pretty expensive like everything else these days. As a fan of fabricated and formed potato snacks, I remember Carl's Jr. in the 70's had french fries that were pressed from a potato starch to look like crinkle fries and they were pretty good too. A lot better than the sub par fries they serve today.

[@louc4130]

Yep, I worked at Carl's Jr. back in the mid 70's, and we would add the potato powder to a special type hopper rhat would in turn add water and the fries would be extruded into the hot oil. They were no too bad, but not great! There was a menu item that they really should bring back, and that was the "California Roast Beef" sandwich.

[@bonwatcher]

@@louc4130 If you have tasted their current edition of fries, you'd think those potato-like fries you used to make were excellent in comparison. 😂

I use to live near pepperidge Farm cookie factory in Cache County Utah. the factory had thrift store they sell slightly mistake cookies for cheap price per pound. I wish, if I live near Pringle factory, they may also have store sell slightly defected chips.

Pringles don't taste the same as they used to. I have never been a chip person, but when I tried pringles I think I ate the whole can. That was like 30+ years ago. Maybe my taste buds have changed but I got one of those mini cans a few years ago and the chips just did not taste the same.

[@mariuskuhrau761]

Yep, but in my country Pringles are expensive and is not worth the extra money. Other famous brands such as Lays which is the top seller here because they have a huge variety to choose from, and is much cheaper than the overprized Pringles.

[@gopal_kolathu1960]

I kinda guessed that there must be some kinda mashing and rolling happening here, without which that mathematical precision of shape wouldn’t obtain. The surprise in the package is that “potatoness” of the potato is literally squeezed out, and what we’re really getting is artificially flavoured starch… which may well be true for other apparently traditional chips brands as well…
