TIL Pringles are technically not potato chips, they are molded out of powdered potato, wheat, and other additives

Pringles are potato plywood.

More like potato particle board - plywood has thin layers of intact wood, particle board is made of something like sawdust.
—and Pringles taste about as good as particle board, too. So there’s that.

Gotta say @Pringles are the particle board of potato chips.  I mean no disrespect and they are delicious.  But it’s true.
