The latest edit has unsavory language "...diarrhea rapidly shooting out your asshole..." and was jarring to read. 130.203.74.234 (talk) 02:14, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Pringles used a supercomputer in the 1960s?
The article currently states that "Their designers reportedly used supercomputers to ensure that the chips' aerodynamics would keep them in place during packaging and that they would not break when being stacked on top of each other." Because it is in the early part of the history section (and in the past tense), I believe this implies that Pringles' original inventors (in the 1960s) used a supercomputer to create the shape of the chip. However, both of the cited CNN and the NYTimes articles, published in 2007 and 2010, characterize the use of supercomputers in the present tense, stating that the company currently uses supercomputers to design the chips. Furthermore, considering that the [very first supercomputers] were being invented at the same time as chip was being designed, I am pretty sure that it is unlikely that a food manufacturer got their hands on a machine capable of modeling 3D surfaces in the 60s. I think this sentence should either be removed or reworded to be more in line with the cited sources. Pefrectionist (talk) 10:29, 1 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Also, those were the only two sources that mentioned supercomputers and Pringles, and both mention the two only in passing. There are no primary sources or any other source that is dedicated to explaining how Pringles use or used supercomputers to design the chip (that I could find). Either way, that sentence on supercomputers does not belong in the early designing portion of this article. Pefrectionist (talk) 20:35, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Logo
In 2020, the pringles got new logo, but in europe it still uses the old logo in 2021, so shouldnt then there be showed both logos ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by T0biasCZe (talk • contribs) 17:18, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
