Question

Did you know? Pringles are not officially potato crisps. In 2008 Procter & Gamble won a UK court case ruling the product contained too little potato (42%) to count as crisps — saving millions in VAT. The legal definition is now "savoury snack".

Accepted Answer

Pringles are not officially potato crisps. In 2008 Procter & Gamble won a UK court case ruling the product contained too little potato (42%) to count as crisps — saving millions in VAT. The legal definition is now "savoury snack".

Pringles zijn officieel geen aardappelchips. In 2008 won Procter & Gamble een Britse rechtszaak waarin werd vastgesteld dat het product te weinig aardappel (42%) bevatte om als chips te tellen — het scheelde miljoenen aan BTW. De juridische definitie luidt nu "savoury snack".
