Pringles is a globally recognized brand of stackable potato-based crisps, famous for its unique hyperbolic paraboloid shape and cylindrical can. The brand was originally developed by the American multinational Procter & Gamble (P&G) in 1968, intended to solve consumer complaints about broken and greasy potato chips. The iconic mascot, Julius Pringles, has remained a central part of the brand's identity for decades.

In 2012, P&G sold the brand to the Kellogg Company. Following a corporate restructuring in 2023, the brand became part of Kellanova. Most recently, in a landmark deal completed by 2026, Mars, Incorporated acquired Kellanova, making Mars the ultimate owner of the Pringles brand. For the European market, including France, Pringles are typically produced in large-scale manufacturing facilities located in Mechelen, Belgium, and Kutno, Poland.
