Pringles are not potato chips. Or at least that is what a British judge has ruled.

It seems that in Great Britain, foods, such as potato chips, are subject to a special tax. Pringles argued that potato chips are sliced potatoes where as, pringles are not. And while Pringles are made from potatoes, they are a processed food just like a cracker. The judge agreed and Pringles are now exempt from the tax.

I guess taxing tea wasn’t good enough for them. If potato chips had been around in the 1700’s I suspect that they too would have ended up in the Boston Harbor.
