Try to remember life before the Potato Chip Grabber. As hard as this may seem, there was a time when we’d have to use our own hand to grab a snack, risking grease or Cheetos dust-coverage on our digits. Well, those days are now over.
The handy grabber will gladly pinch those chips for you. And, if your Potato Chip Grabber skills are up to par, you could bring that chip to your mouth, without having to touch it with your now antiquated flesh hands.
Find out more about the Chip Grabber here.
Get your hand out of the Pringles tin… There’s a new potato chip worthy of your discernible palate. Although it will cost you.
Swedish beer-makers, St. Erik’s Brewery, has created what is the world’s most expensive potato chip to go with their high-quality craft beer. The price tag for such crispy luxury is 499.00 kr, approximately $56 USD per box, or roughly $11 per chip.
The ingredients that help jack up the price of these chips include; Matsutake, Truffle Seaweed, Leksand Onion, Crown Dill and Nordic Ammarnäs Potatoes. Unfortunately, the limited edition chips are currently sold out. Time to reach into the Pringles tin again.

Would you like to fill the room with the smell of ill-advised flavored potato chips? If you’re a Pringles fan, and can get your hand out of your potato chip can long enough, there’s Pringles-scented Holiday Candles.
Flavors/scents include Cheesy Cheese, Pigs In A Blanket, and Texas BBQ. Now, the bad part… the candles are currently in development and won’t be ready for this upcoming holiday.
In the meantime, leave some cans of Pringles open to help scent any room. Get your hand unstuck first.

Lay’s recently announced four finalists of their “Do Us A Flavor” contest. After thousands and thousands of submissions for out of the ordinary and U.S. regional-specific flavors — it’s been narrowed down to Southern Biscuits & Gravy, New York Reuben, Wavy West Coast Truffle Fries and Kettle Cooked Greektown Gyro.
Now, it’s up to the people to decide which chip reigns supreme, and they can vote here starting July 27th. Then we just need to know how they made a potato chip taste like a gyro. I assume sorcery.
