So, you thought you knew how to eat Pringles.
The average person might pop open a canister of the salty snack and place the concave side of the chip — which faces the bottom of the container — on their tongue, but they’d be foregoing flavor for ease of consumption.
“Did you know that there’s a correct way to eat Pringles?” TikTok user @cookinhungry began his educational video.
Instead, he advised spud lovers to place the top of the Pringle — the side facing upwards in the can — on their tongue, since most of the seasoning is distributed on that side.
“If you rub a Pringle, you can actually feel all the seasoning on this side,” the TikToker said, gesturing to the top of the chip.
While one viewer argued they should have been packaged flipped, then, the snack brand has confirmed that this is, in fact, the intended way for their iconic chip to be consumed.
In 2017, Pringles revealed to The Sun that only the top of the chips are dusted with flavoring, and the bottom of each chip is only seasoned by coming into contact with the top of the chip stacked beneath it.
“There’s no wrong way to eat Pringles!” the company also wrote on its FAQ page. “However, some people claim that the best way to eat them is with the ‘top’ of the chip (the side facing the lid of the can) facing down.”
The staple chip brand revealed that the crisps “typically have more seasoning on the top of the crisps than the bottom,” and eating them as such can deliver “the most intense flavor experience.”
