According to someone who worked in marketing for pringles in taiwan, pringles consumers are more likely to be "type a" sorts - controlling, finicky, prefer heavily structured environments, highly value neatness, etc.

I mean, marketing is basically business astrology, so...

Makes sense, because the flavor/satisfaction to dollar ratio isn’t great. But it’s the only chip you can get in a neat stack and easily individually count out.

Woolies homebrand sells the same thing as pringles but bigger and for cheaper. Do they not have knockoff pringles where you live?

I’ve never seen any, we don’t have Woolies where I live. Store brand chips just come in a bag.
