A court in London has ruled that Pringles, the iconic snacks in the ubiquitous red tube, are not potato chips.
Really.
Apparently, there are not enough potatos in Pringles to have them legally qualify as “potato chips” or “potato crisps.” That matters to the tax […]
Check out this commercial about enforcing the car tax:
