Pringles is an American brand of stackable potato-based chips invented by Procter & Gamble (P&G) in 1968 and marketed as "Pringle's Newfangled Potato Chips". It is technically considered an extruded snack because of the manufacturing process. The brand was sold in 2012 to Kellanova, but in 2024 Kellanova, Kellogg's parent company agreed to be purchased by Mars Inc.
As of 2011,[update] Pringles were sold in more than 140 countries.[1] In 2012, Pringles were the fourth most popular snack brand[where?] after Lay's, Doritos, and Cheetos (all manufactured by Frito-Lay), with 2.2% market share globally.[2]
