Now, just because all Pringles were made to look the same didn't mean they were completely break-proof. Putting them in a standard bag would run the risk of the crisps shattering, ruining their entire niche. What they needed was something that would allow the chips to be stacked on top of each other, preventing them from being crushed and keeping their uniform shape. This was the idea behind the famous plastic tube.
Fred Baur designed the model of the first Pringles tube — a task he was well suited for, as he was the man behind the design of the Pringle's trademark shape. To Baur, the designing of the Pringles tube was more than a job, but something that he took pride in his whole life. He took such pride in this achievement in food packaging that when he died in 2008, the food chemist was cremated and his ashes buried within ... you guessed it, a Pringles container (via TIME).
Today, Pringles are still shipped in their famous containers, albeit with a little technological assistance. The distinctive shape of the Pringle is aerodynamic enough that a crisp can go literally flying down the production line. Thus, supercomputers assist in making sure that the crisps won't go flying off the line, but instead into those trademark containers (via HPC Wire). Talk about a lot of work just for an intact chip!
