YUM!

An appeals court in Britain said Wednesday that Procter and Gamble's snack treat Pringles were, technically, potato chips and subject to sales tax.

Uhhh...

The consumer pays the sales tax.

The manufacturer has nothing to do with it.

What are crisps, then?

made 42 percent from potato and 33 percent from fat and flour,

Leaving the remaining 25 percent for crack cocaine and Szechwan flavoring to make you addicted and craving another can after an hour.

Just because Pringles are vile muck posing as potato chips doesn’t make them so. They took a perfectly fine and basic food and managed to screw it up.

Instead of taxing them they should be fined.

[Publius6961]

I hate it when they do that!
What's the other 25%?

[Anima Mundi]

Pathetic that a once great nation is reduced to arguing the great philosophical issue of “what is a potato chip”. No wonder the west is vulnerable to attacks of all sorts.

Ketchup is a vegetable!

This reminds me of the story “Pigs is Pigs”.

What a bunch of f’ing idiots. If it is a chip (a flake; a slice; A small broken or cut off piece) from a potato, then it is a potato chip. Pringles are not potato chips. Anybody, like me, who loves potato chips knows that. If anything, they are a potato chip substitute. They’re not bad, but in no way do they have those desirable features that only real potato chips have.
