Which snack company created Pringles, whose crisps are made from a shaped potato dough?

Procter & Gamble created Pringles, whose crisps are made from a shaped potato dough.

Pringles were developed by Procter & Gamble in the 1960s as a uniform alternative to traditional potato chips. The crisps are made from a dough containing dehydrated potatoes and other ingredients, then pressed into a distinctive saddle shape and fried or otherwise cooked.

Unlike conventional potato chips, which are cut from whole potatoes and vary naturally in size and curvature, Pringles are manufactured to consistent dimensions. They are stacked in a rigid tube, helping protect them from breakage during transport.

Procter & Gamble sold the Pringles business to the Kellogg Company in 2012. This ownership change sometimes causes confusion about the brand's origin: Kellogg's owns the brand today, but Procter & Gamble developed and launched it.
