I remember “Pringles” by Proctor & Gamble, being launched in the early 70’s. Some day I will share the history of that product packaging insanity. Think about it. Wet slurry, shaped, baked, dried, flavored, and then all oriented in the same stack pattern, dropped into a can off of on a paper can winding arbor, vacuum chambered, sealed from the bottom, and then stood upright, and pushed into a case packer, without breaking those chips!!! Later in life I was mentored by the wrench turning guys that figured the whole process out. It was like being part of a NASA moon launch project. And if you know P&G, it was top secret non disclosure kind of a project. All notebooks, records, sketches, notes, had to be turned in at the end of the day, then would be re-issued after you came in the next day.
