The sugars, fat and salt are what's addictive in Pringles.

The salt, fat and sugars in the pringles react with your taste buds and your brain to make you crave them.

The flavors added to the pringles chips also make them more addictive because when something is delicious then you want to eat more.

Pringles are not made from McDonald's Fries because McDonald's cooks their fries and sells them to customers.

However Pringles are made similar to how the McDonald's Fries are made and they both are made of potatoes.

Although Pringles chips are actually made of dehydrated potatoes and not fresh potatoes.

Pringles aren't actually made with real potato—the recipe calls for dehydrated processed potato—the FDA ruled in 1975 that Pringles could only be called "chips" if they provided a disclaimer, identifying them as "potato chips made from dried potatoes."

Pringles scrapped that idea and renamed them potato "crisps.

Pringles are so bad for you because of the artificial ingredients and also because of the sugar, fat and salt content in the Pringles.

Pringles don't contain any chemicals but they do contain some food additives maltodextrin, dextrose, sodium caseinate, modified food starch, monoglyceride and the Pringles are also made of 42% potato content, the remainder being wheat starch and flours (potato, corn, and rice) combined with vegetable oils, an emulsifier, salt, and seasoning.

Pringles do not have crack or any types of drugs in them.

The pringles are addictive because of the salt, flavors, fats salts and sugar.

The biggest culprits are the holy trinity of addictive junk food — fat, salt and sugar.

Around a third of every Pringle by weight is the sunflower and maize oil used in cooking, nearly 5 per cent of each crisp is made up of sugar and dextrose (another type of sugar) and, of course, there's the salt.

Pringles are iconic, and for good reason.

Their innovative and unmistakable can stands out in an aisle filled with bags.

Their curvy physique allows for food and fun—you know you've done the duck face thing with them.

And their light and airy composition encourages a long session.

Junk Foods including Pringles and other chips and snacks contain the fat, sugar, salt etc which makes then addictive as they react with your taste buds and brain.

Pringles isn't high on the list of what we consider healthy chips, but their reduced-fat version is a welcome alternative.

It contains fewer calories, fat, and sodium than the original recipe, but keeps the same amount of carbs and seasoning.

Why are Pringles in a tube?

Designed by Fredric Baur in 1966, he envisioned the packaging as something that would ensure freshness, prevent damage and stand all on its own.

The Pringles can, a resealable container made from a paperboard tube, a metal bottom cap and a plastic top cap, satisfied all 3 requirements.
