- TikTok user claims there’s a wrong – and right – way to eat Pringles
- He said that instead of the concave part pointing towards your tongue, it should be the convex part
- The creator of the content says that the seasoning is on the convex side of the chip
It turns out there may be a wrong way to eat certain foods – and one TikTok user has revealed that you may have been eating Pringles wrong.
Chip expert @cookinhungry took to the video sharing platform to share their expert Pringle knowledge – and the side of Pringle you put on your tongue makes a huge difference.
“Did you know there is a correct way to eat Pringles,” he began the TikTok, showing off a snack pack.
He then opens them to reveal the stack of slightly curved chips in the container.

The Pringle lover said that you should actually eat them with the convex part towards your tongue for optimal taste
“We put the curved part in our mouth and just eat it like that,” the Pringle lover said, holding up the chip as he pulled it out of the package with the hollow part facing down.
Then he turns everything you knew about Pringles on its head – literally – by turning the Pringle upside down.
The content creator explained that this is because the seasoning is on the convex side of the chip.
“The reason is that most of the spice of all Pringles is at the top,” he explained, showing the outwardly rounded side of the Pringle.
For those unsure if the Pringles lover is telling the truth, he urged everyone to rub each side to feel the flavor on one side.
In 2017, Pringles said The sun that only the tops of the chips are dusted with flavoring, and that the bottom of each chip is flavored only by coming into contact with the top of the chip stacked beneath it.
“There’s no wrong way to eat Pringles!” the company assured fans Frequently asked questions page.
‘However, some people argue that it is best to eat them with the ‘top’ of the chip (the side facing the tin lid) facing down.’

Earlier this year, a TikTok star is on a mission to expose companies guilty of ‘shrinkflating’ – where they reduce the size of their products but keep the price tag the same.
Neal Chauhan – who works in brand strategy for Toy Soldier Marketing – accused a slew of brands of engaging in the practice.
In a video on TikTok, he highlighted the miniature sizes of products including Starbucks, Pringles and even Tide PODS.
In the video, he uploaded a photo of an apparently half-empty Pringles can, with the caption, “Don’t get me started on Pringles.”
