BEg2 ch21 Pringle chip equation

[Mark Kohut]

I was a young bartender at a Holiday Inn, wanting experience
away from a bookstore, lol,---THIS was my meaning of "experience"---when a
group of P & G employees,
from marketing and sales and 'brand management" I guess, came in, nursed
drinks and coffee and spent
all one afternoon talking about this new chip...I think I remember seeing
that famous can but that may be
a created memory....I did hear the word Pringle.....and that it was not yet
on the market but soon enough.

*Pringles* is an American brand of stackable potato-based crisps.
Originally sold by Procter & Gamble
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procter_%26_Gamble> (P&G) in 1968 and
marketed as "Pringle's Newfangled Potato Chips", the brand was sold in 2012
to the current owner, Kellogg's <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kellogg%27s>.
