British Court Rules Pringles Are Indeed Potato Chips
Pringles might be nicknamed "crack in a cardboard tube," but in the eyes of the UK government, they are still considered potato chips.
Last year, a UK judge ruled that because Pringles contains less than 50 percent potato and is formed into an artificial shape, it's not a chip, and therefore isn't subject to the 15 percent country's value-added tax. But in a major defeat for Pringles parent company P&G, this ruling was overturned, and the corporation must fork over approximately £100 million, or $159 million, in taxes.

Do you like Pringles? How about dip-able cracker sticks? Have you ever envisioned the two things together?
Once You Pop...
Looks like Pringles is going to have to change their jingle. The "Once You Pop, You Can't Stop" might work for their well known cans, however you'll now be able to find them sold in bags. The newly bagged options are miniature in size and come in zany new flavors such as parmesan garlic, cinnamon sweet potato and Szechuan bbq rice crisps (their first foray into non-potato chip).

Shrunken Packaged Foods' Slow Return to Their Original Size
In a small indication that America may be on a slow road to economic recovery, consumer foods marketers are beginning to reintroduce larger packages at the same price. Last year, manufacturers were hit by high fuel and commodity prices, so to avoid blatantly transferring cost increases to consumers, manufacturers such as Hellman's, Tropicana, and Kellogg's quietly began downsizing packages.
Ben & Jerry's even went after the size of Haagen-Dazs in its marketing campaign, pointing out that the rival company had downsized its "pints" from 16 to 14 ounces.
