Pringles stackable potato crisps

Pringles is a globally recognized brand of stackable, potato-based snacks known for their distinctive hyperbolic paraboloid shape and cylindrical tube packaging. Originally introduced in the United States in 1968 by Procter & Gamble, the snack was designed to minimize breakage and preserve freshness, contrasting with traditional bagged chips. The brand's mascot, Julius Pringles, has become an iconic figure in global snack marketing.

In 2012, ownership shifted when Kellogg Company acquired the brand. Following a major corporate restructuring in 2023, Pringles became a flagship brand of Kellanova, the snacking-focused successor to Kellogg's international operations. As of late 2025, Mars, Incorporated completed a landmark acquisition of Kellanova, bringing Pringles into its expansive snacking portfolio alongside brands like M&M's and Snickers. For the German market, Pringles are typically manufactured in European facilities located in Mechelen, Belgium, and Kutno, Poland.
