It’s not even potato it’s just powder 😱 my whole life it a lie

[@hater5675]

Same :/

[@user-2499]

Just Pringles are like that. All the Chips in bags are real potatoes

[@hater5675]

[@Jinnywieyt]

Olive •T it is powder, but is potato powder. So it s still potato

[@mchan2141]

Oh no!

These are the real chips The ones made in the vide are fake ones

As an expert I can see that thoses chips don’t taste like Pringles ahah

[@hater5675]

Dats bc these chips came first after pringles were made i think

[@charmzensworld4956]

Yea

[@stepchicken7142]

@@hater5675 No Pringles came out first

[@auhng]

Pringle’s have more rice than potato... maybe that’s why?

[@unseenwarrior8559]

Dats cause they crisps

[@duketogo13]

I feel like this is a bit misleading. This is a very specific sort of 'chip' IE like pringles. The vast majority of the potato chips I've ever ate aren't the sort that come in in tubes, and aren't made from powdered mixes.

[@nht3892]

Yeah some of them are made with actual potatos

[@theonetheonlyw5483]

*How off brand Pringles are made*

[@orlandoburgos9190]

It's how all Pringle like chips are made. Pringle's are made the same way.

[@minideathlord]

Lol

[@Metal-Possum]

I call them Fringles.

[@anson8588]

[@ryanroberso]

I like how we see every off brand Pringles but not the original 😂

[@kanee1021]

I worked in this industry. The same process as shown. Packing line is the most tiring I guess.. endless chips coming nonstop for 24h unless we're changing the flavor. Need to be fast since chips got their blank period either go to canned or to be dumped. No recycle chips. Pros is you can taste every flavor while packing (oc without your supervisor knowledge). Weighing and packing are the most fun part, we either gave the max per can or be stingy .. but it is the most tiring jobs.

Unlimited freeee chips thats the dream!!!

[@memeushthemushroom4469]

They said "How POTATE CHIPS". *MADE OUT OF DOUGH*

[@peierple]

Potatoe flakes are made of potstoes. Same ones that come in a box used on thanks giving!

[@rahkta8232]

Potate

[@peierple]

@i don’t know what to do here hahaha yes "potstoes" aka potatoes! Lol damn phone kept changing it to that so I just kept it

[@tevinx9320]

before watching i thought i could just make it myself😂😂

[@russellmuscle7434]

Anyone else wonder how machinery like this is made, or is it just me?

[@George50809]

I often have wondered how a lot of automated machines were made.

[@tanchokdewan9020]

Because 2d and 3d machine can run in program....logic is simple

Jesus I didn’t realize there were so many Pringle’s knock offs

Honestly, fried freshly cut potatoes taste better.

I'll never be the same, because i'll never eat them again. Actually i'd prob fail at that

This looks and sounds like a documentary u would watch in grade school

[@mvvpvals]

I'm sorry, but before they go into packaging im going to have to taste test them. Yes. ALL OF THEM

[@smonster]

honestly i have tremendous respect for the people whose job it is to package at robotic speeds all day and low pay....

[@idkjordash]

I prefer lays over Pringle’s because they taste so processed like these

[@jezzblox4150]

Lol me watching this while eating lays chips🤣🤣🤣(So yummy)

lays is made differently tho

Lays, Pringles, Mister potato

[@tegarachsendo9730]

I'll take a potato chip... And eat it!

[@somfmusic1723]

The shape of actual Pringles is actually a "hyperbolic paraboloid" not just a concave oval like these chips. the Hyperbolic Paraboloid has a much stronger structure, and leads to less cracked chips in the can.

[@George50809]

Are you serious?

[@CygnusLaboratorys2056]

I almost thought this was a "How It's Actually Made" Video

[@paragonofgood]

That's a lot of work for a $1.33 can of chips

[@jerryjacques7939]

The law in the USA these have to be called "Potato Crisps", "Potato Chips" are from cut potatoes.

[@joe_isom]

Food Insider: You really should have put “How Pringles Are Made” instead of “How Potato Chips Are Made.” That’s only because most people called Pringles just that, whereas we (Americans) call potato chips (Lay’s, Frito’s, etc.) chips. Just chips. Nothing special. I really like how UK calls them “crisps” instead of “chips.” I actually like “crisps” better than I do “chips.” However, I do know that not everyone is American. It was just a thought. 🤷‍♂️

[@tylwythteg]

Before Brits even try, they're chips not crisps. Fight me.

That's how Pringles makes 'crisps', ask Lays® how to make Chips

[@123Pendejos1]

my dad once told me that chips were cut by hand

[@lewd211AMVS]

So that's why Pringle turn to rubber when wet

[@zyxw2000]

They're powdered potato shaped in a mold. None of the ones in the video are potato chips.

[@Razashii]

Wrong, this is only for chips in cans, the ones in bags like lays are made with actual potatoes

[@PsyQoBoy]

The white powder is actually c.o.k.e not potato starch that's why we get so addicted to them.
