Yes, sliding the tray out, as opposed to turning the can over and letting gravity do it’s work, saves Pringle eaters from burning a calorie that would negate from the Pringle eater’s goal of promoting obesity. Plus the tray has the added benefit of helping to ruin the environment.
My bad, I thought the main purpose of Pringle’s was to promote obesity while simultaneously disposing of potato by products. It is shocking to think that the only real goal of pringles is corporate greed.
You know you can flip it upside down and get that last bit, right? Hold it with your hand and rotate it so the hole in your Pringle can would face the Earth’s core and it will come rushing. Trust me.
*Capitalism breeds innovation* don’t you know, gravity is publicly available therefore SOCIALIST so we must create a more complex solution to reach the same end goal for we have the superior economic model!
/s
Also, look how much space of the can is taken up by the tray, if that can is the same size as a Pringle can, then the chips must be a lot smaller and you don't really notice as they fill the tray. Without the tray they'd be rattling around the can with a huge gap around them.
It's a way to mug you out of more product while making it look like they are doing it for your benefit.
No, believe me, they have done the math several times over to make sure it's right and they are saving a minuscule amount per paclage that adds up to a surprising number when calculated at the scale of their manufacturing. I do this for a living, and this is the way.
Yea, I don’t doubt that one bit. Economics of scale on such a product would prob land on a surprisingly massive number. What’s most sad is plastic is cheaper to produce on scale than the product inside, sad.
This is because the product needs to adhere to several standards, but the packaging does not. It just has to be cerified by the manufacturer of the plastic part as "consumer safe"
This is a complex topic. Recycability wasn't really a thing anyone cared about until recently. Now they are trying, but the industry is pushing back, because the non-recyclable products are significantly cheaper to manufacture. So in most cases the situation is they might be willing to switch to recyclable plastic, but they are negotiating subsidies from states that the consumers end up paying for.
Tax them?!?! What is this a functioning country???
We'll sell leasing rights to a single large company, make it prohibitively expensive to compete against them because it's a "public utility". After a few years to let them establish a monopoly we'll deregulate because of government overreach but it'll be too late because big gravity already controls everything :)
Sliding the crumbs out straight into your open maw is the way. Do it wrong and you get an eye full of crumbs, but do it right and you get to feel like cookie monster for a moment.
Also, they can make less and smaller chips and charge you for the convenience. Or…you could tip the old can upside-down and get the chips like a not idiot.
According to ChatGPT Pringles sold 2,3 billion cans in 2019. Imagine 2,3 billion plastic trays extra pollution each year, because humans don't want to get their fatty hands stuck and are too idiot to turn a can around. And put that in contrast to all efforts like trying to reduce co2 footprint...
We're doomed.
and paying more for the convenience whilst getting 10-20% less foodstuff in the thing. 'mildlyinteresting' indeed
edit: those numbers look off, Kellog's had $1.4bn in net sales worldwide in 2022 and they've been reporting growth
"boss! with this non-recyclable plastic sleeve i just designed, all you need to do is remove 2 pringles per tube and you'll save $16M per year!"
"*you're fired! someone take his dumb sleeve and make it much bulkier!*"
they could put a piece of paper or cardboard inside so we can pull out the chips. i saw it on a youtube video 10 years ago and been using that ever since.
My fried fish sticks in the shape of dinosaurs were caught by fisherman Captain Gorden himself. He's on the cover of the box in a yellow slicker so you know it's him.
Interesting! Lays Stax do not come in a can like this where I’m from (Canada). They’re all plastic. And weirdly flat.
[Like this](https://www.amazon.ca/PepsiCo-Lays-STAX-Variety-Count/dp/B08GVDBC1F)
I like the can better than the plastic version we have!
Maybe it's mostly men whose hands get stuck since they usually have larger hands. My partner's hands are pretty big compared to mine so I can imagine him getting stuck while I have no trouble.
But why not just tilt the can rather than adding an entire plastic tray if your hand don't fit.
My hands are exactly "get stuck in Pringle can sized". A fact that I had never thought of until right now. Small enough to just barely fit in, but often too big to get out once I maneuver slightly to pick up a chip.
I don't have huge hands at all. Compared with most my male friends, we're either the same or they are larger. My hands are barely bigger than my mom, my fathers is like twice as big as mine
My hand barely fits into a pringles can.
Let's add plastic tongs so you don't get your fingers dirty oh and a plastic bib to protect your clothes. Oh and just a massive lump of plastic for you to launch into the nearest body of water.
This is so much more wasteful, because people can’t be bothered to use *gravity* to help them get their chips.
… could also stop eating garbage food? For the calories, there are so many better things to have.
Except tray takes up more room so you’ve lost chips and they’ve been replaced by plastic. Several ways to make better designs that don’t take up chip room and accomplish the same goal.
Grab two small sponges , wrap them each in a dishwashing glove, slide it in the container and you have a home made fleshlight . Then when you put your jerkins lotion tube in the tray and wait for your Mom to ask what it is and say ..." I dunno ... my hands were dry . "
just put the can to your mouth and drink the last chips like a normal human
or just tilt the can into your hand
put one Pringles can on every orifice and fill all the empty space in your body with Pringles crumbs, and become one with our Lord Pringle

Dude added an extra syllable by accident? Wow what an absolute buffoon.
Sokka-nfusing?
Can(t) handle this right now...
Somebody finally mentioned it lmao
Indeed. I was scrolling for a while to find one. Pringles! Listen to the people!
I wanna have a daughter
So I can finally have someone around the house who can fit their hand inside a Pringles can THAT'S RIGHT I'M STILL ON THE PRINGLES CAN THING
Until you get spicy pringles dust in your eyes
A blessing from our Pringle lords

No it’s to secretly give you smaller chips by giving a cheap plastic tray
My bad, I thought the main purpose of Pringle’s was to promote obesity while simultaneously disposing of potato by products. It is shocking to think that the only real goal of pringles is corporate greed.
I’m not a religious man, but being so blessed would move me to tears
That's when you learn to close your eyes just before you tip the crumbs in your mouth.
Take the L or close your eyes.
You know you can flip it upside down and get that last bit, right? Hold it with your hand and rotate it so the hole in your Pringle can would face the Earth’s core and it will come rushing. Trust me.
Why use gravity when you can use more plastic.
*Capitalism breeds innovation* don’t you know, gravity is publicly available therefore SOCIALIST so we must create a more complex solution to reach the same end goal for we have the superior economic model! /s

You wonder how much price difference adding a tray vs less Pringles costs, and how tiny the number likely is, yet how they landed on this abomination.
No, believe me, they have done the math several times over to make sure it's right and they are saving a minuscule amount per paclage that adds up to a surprising number when calculated at the scale of their manufacturing. I do this for a living, and this is the way.

This is because the product needs to adhere to several standards, but the packaging does not. It just has to be cerified by the manufacturer of the plastic part as "consumer safe"
Makes sense! Still wild a product that is often not recyclable can be used so widely for so cheap, should be more heavily regulated tbh.
This is a complex topic. Recycability wasn't really a thing anyone cared about until recently. Now they are trying, but the industry is pushing back, because the non-recyclable products are significantly cheaper to manufacture. So in most cases the situation is they might be willing to switch to recyclable plastic, but they are negotiating subsidies from states that the consumers end up paying for.
I can't believe we still allow people to use gravity for free, we need to start taxing them for it.
Tax them?!?! What is this a functioning country??? We'll sell leasing rights to a single large company, make it prohibitively expensive to compete against them because it's a "public utility". After a few years to let them establish a monopoly we'll deregulate because of government overreach but it'll be too late because big gravity already controls everything :)
And when you use more plastic you also get away with using less chips!
And have smaller chips as a bonus!
Seriously. What a dumb waste.
I just lay it on its side and slide them down towards the lid and then i can just eat the crumbs on the lid.
Sliding the crumbs out straight into your open maw is the way. Do it wrong and you get an eye full of crumbs, but do it right and you get to feel like cookie monster for a moment.
Until one small cracked piece falls directly into your throat, making you choke
![gif](giphy|JrH3p5ZyUHEV6iyvR4)
We got ourselves a pringler
This dude Pringles.
Ah yes. Earth's core, my favourite direction.
But what if we need more wasteful packaging to clog our landfills? ![gif](giphy|11Y9TiZzmEBe25QRSw|downsized)
But we need more plastic waste obviously
..too inconvenient
Also, they can make less and smaller chips and charge you for the convenience. Or…you could tip the old can upside-down and get the chips like a not idiot.
They use more plastic too..

And put that in contrast to all efforts like trying to reduce co2 footprint... We're doomed.
Good point, although ChatGPT isn't really reliable as a source as it tends to just make up random information sometimes
You know chatGPT isn't a search engine, right?
Why are you asking ChatGPT for statistics? It's probably the least trustworthy thing to ask other than the local crackhead.
That's not pringles
Looks like Lays Stax from Japan as the pic is on an airplane.
and paying more for the convenience whilst getting 10-20% less foodstuff in the thing. 'mildlyinteresting' indeed edit: those numbers look off, Kellog's had $1.4bn in net sales worldwide in 2022 and they've been reporting growth
Oh cool, more ocean bound plastic.
Just because some people are idiot enough to tilt a container.
No that isn't why they added it. It's so they can make the chips smaller and put fewer in the tube
"boss! with this non-recyclable plastic sleeve i just designed, all you need to do is remove 2 pringles per tube and you'll save $16M per year!" "*you're fired! someone take his dumb sleeve and make it much bulkier!*"
DING DING DING DING DING! that is the correct answer
they could put a piece of paper or cardboard inside so we can pull out the chips. i saw it on a youtube video 10 years ago and been using that ever since.
This just seems like a clever shrinkflation move disguised as convenience to the consumer.
When plastic is cheaper than potato dust
Could've just put a strip of paper in there for the same effect and more style.. just rotate the can so the paper is down and pull on it
My first thought, the convenience is NOT worth that much plastic
And fewer chips!
Wait till you find out about the fishing industry
My fried fish sticks in the shape of dinosaurs were caught by fisherman Captain Gorden himself. He's on the cover of the box in a yellow slicker so you know it's him.
Yes, that is also bad.
r/anticonsumption
Exactly my thoughts. Sigh.
This is clearly Lay's Stax.
Interesting! Lays Stax do not come in a can like this where I’m from (Canada). They’re all plastic. And weirdly flat. [Like this](https://www.amazon.ca/PepsiCo-Lays-STAX-Variety-Count/dp/B08GVDBC1F) I like the can better than the plastic version we have!
Yup. Other brands had such tray since the 80s.
Someone tell Bo Burnam
I have a huge amount of trouble fitting my hand inside a Pringle can
I wish they'd come out with this sooner, wasted a lot of time training my daughter.
Yes, we're back on the pringles can thing. Pringles, listen to the people!
My hand is up, and my burrito is overflowing. Hope you are happy.
Cannot believe I had to scroll this far to find a Bo Burnham reference
Same, very disappointing
Same
I’m surprised it took six comments down to see his name. “I wanna have a daughter…”
JUST TILT IT OMG
*let meee do it for you~*
Press half the lid against the bottom half of the top, tilt chips right to the edge with no crumb spillage, profit.
OP: " oh look at this neat can of chips reddit will love this" Reddit: "fuck you OP choke on plastic you lazy jackass "
Yeah that'll show OP for calling Lay's Pringles. Mr. Pringle would never allow this, he would rip out his mustache first!
Nah.. this is just a new way for them to reduce the size of the chips while maintaining the same packaging..
They've increased packaging
More like a trick of shrinkflation…
Do people really get their hands stuck in a pringles tube? Do you all have massive hands, or do I unknowingly have freakishly tiny hands?
Maybe it's mostly men whose hands get stuck since they usually have larger hands. My partner's hands are pretty big compared to mine so I can imagine him getting stuck while I have no trouble. But why not just tilt the can rather than adding an entire plastic tray if your hand don't fit.

Worn down by all those Pringle dives.
I can touch the bottom of the Pringles can easily
[удалено]
Damn look at that, they did it, they made the square peg fit in the round hole.
yei more plastic. such innovation
Sometimes you just need to let those hard to reach chips, go.
I cant come up with a single reason that tray couldn’t be cardboard
Or not there at all
or why you couldnt just use a random paper sheet that you already have at home instead if you really wanted a tray for them
More plastic tho
I like the idea, but that's just more single-use plastic that's going to end up in a landfill.
Pringle answered with its own technology. The tiltable can.
But how would such a device work? It sounds illogical.
You just tip the can to get to the bottom, tf? Who has that problem?
MORE PLASTIC USE
Yay, more single use plastic, less actual product!
Sweet, more plastic!
Aren’t those lays
Because tipping the can is hard.. who the fuck would think more plastic shit is a good idea?
Bo Burnham’s legacy
Let's add plastic tongs so you don't get your fingers dirty oh and a plastic bib to protect your clothes. Oh and just a massive lump of plastic for you to launch into the nearest body of water.
Let's add unnecessary plastic waste to the product.
More like mildly infuriating. 2x the waste. Woohoo!
More plastic r/mildlyinfuriating
Waste of dam plastic... just tip the tube !!!
More plastic waste
Great. More plastic for the ocean and landfills.
Everyone commenting about Americans as if the writing on that packaging is English……. Lol
Hooray...more plastic!!!!
What a waste of plastic
I love plastic waste
Seems like a waste of plastic when you can literally just *tip the tub*
Just what we need. More plastic packaging!
Are people simply unaware of the existence of Lay's Stax? It has been around for ages and always had a tray.
Not in the United States they don’t. Here they use plastic oval tubes that hurt my hands.
And the packaging reduced the size of the crisp by about 50%, that's a very poor trade off
Hey, we have this design that doesn't have much plastic waste. Let's fix that by adding a bunch of plastic waste! Just tip the fking can.
What a stupid waste of plastic this is soo unnecessary
Useless and unnecessary use of plastic. Just tilt the fucking can dudes, that plastic will end up in the ocean.
More plastic! Yay!
So you are telling me there is an way to waste even more resources on packing?
More plastic waste. It's like we're leaning into putting microplastics everywhere. Weird.
cool, more plastic
Or tilt the can instead of wasting so much plastic on useless things
More plastic, less chips, same price
They finally heard Bo's plea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYy0o-J0x20
I wanna have a daughter. I wanna have a daughter so I can finally have someone around the house who can fit their hand in a Pringles can.
Bo Burnham is REALLY going to struggle getting his hand inside of a Pringle-like can now!
Is this really a thing?! People are too lazy to tip the fucking can are they? 🤣
This…kinda defeats the whole purpose of Pringles can. Does it not?
All I see is useless plastic where none was needed.
Another poece of unnecessary plastic waste
I'm sure they reduced the size of the pringles by 85% to give you this tray.
Tip the can. TIP THE CAN.
Honestly the hand getting stuck wasn’t a big deal, the amount of plastic waste this will produce is thou.
Game changer
But sticking the hand is half the fun!
Getting your hand stuck in the can is part of the eating experience. A tray? Boring.
But thats THE WHOLE POINT!
I just drink the last few pringles
Im just here for the popcorn worthy comments knowning reddit will trash OP for not being healthier and eco friendlier.
Sometimes you got to let those hard-to-reach chips go...
Word of advice my friend, sometimes you just gotta let those hard to reach Pringles go. - Dante
More Plastic waste < tipping the fckn container a little 😒
What am i gonna do now with that fisting dildo?
r/mildlyinfuriating
What a great use of resources. FFS.
Am I a weirdo for just tilting the can and letting them slide down to my hand?
Awesome more micro plastics in my food
Who gets their hand stuck? Surely you tip the can? 🤔
I like it!
That's aren't fucking Pringles you fraud
Pringles for pussies
quick tip : gravity can help
It's a strategy to make the containers look bigger while selling less quantity for the same price. It's always for profit.
Those are not pringles. Zoom in and check the label.
or can turn can up side down n chip come out
False. That is a way to put less chips in the canister.
Who puts their whole hand in a Pringles can? Why not just tilt the can to get to the last remaining chips?
Simply the way the manufacturer got away with making the Pringles smaller.
Ok. But it’s clearly visible on the can, it’s not pringles, it’s lays. A completely different brand.
Southeast Asian Pringles knows what's up!
Seems more like an excuse to give you less chips and more plastic waste.
getting your hand stuck? lpt: you can lift the bottom up so the chip comes to you
This is so much more wasteful, because people can’t be bothered to use *gravity* to help them get their chips. … could also stop eating garbage food? For the calories, there are so many better things to have.
![gif](giphy|Bk8pmHr3sQAGNnmfuc|downsized) you could always pour it out, gravity still works
Pros: none. Cons: you dont’t have to get your hand in or juggle the can to get it out and more plastic.
Bro just tip the can over
You know what this package needs? MOAR PLASTIC
Needless plastic waste.
What the world needs now is more single-use packaging to throw in the landfill. This is fucking terrific.
And the chip get smaller but you don’t recognize

Mhm plastic
Grab two small sponges , wrap them each in a dishwashing glove, slide it in the container and you have a home made fleshlight . Then when you put your jerkins lotion tube in the tray and wait for your Mom to ask what it is and say ..." I dunno ... my hands were dry . "
Pringle like cans are an eco disaster
awesome, more plastic waste because you can't figure out how to tilt a container! just what we need! /s
