Pringles Are Potato Chips. Yes, They Are.

Procter & Gamble must pay a particular snack food tax in the UK, because it failed to make its case that Pringles is not, in fact, a potato chip. The company said that because Pringles have only 42% potato in them (the rest being flour and fat), they are more like a cake or biscuit and therefore not subject to the tax in question.

I wonder if P&G would have won their case if they had employed a five-year-old to argue it.
