Peetos

Peetos, also known as Pringles, is a brand of stackable potato and wheat-based chips. They are known for their distinctive saddle shape and the cylindrical tube packaging they are sold in. The original Pringles were developed by Procter & Gamble and introduced in 1968. The brand was later sold to Kellogg's in 2012.

The production process for Pringles is a key differentiator from other potato chip brands. The chips are made from a dough of dehydrated potatoes, rice flour, corn flour, and wheat starch. This dough is then pressed into the characteristic saddle shape, fried, and seasoned. This method allows for consistent shape and texture across all chips.

Pringles are available in a wide variety of flavors, with variations depending on the region. Classic flavors include Original, Sour Cream & Onion, and Barbecue. International markets often feature unique and localized flavors. The brand is marketed globally and is a recognizable snack food product in many countries. The name "Pringles" is said to have originated from a telephone book, with researchers selecting a common surname. The iconic "Pringles Man" mascot, Julius Pringles, was introduced later and has undergone several redesigns over the years.
