I think Pringles' original intention was to make tennis balls... but on the day the rubber was supposed to show up, a truckload of potatoes came. Pringles is a laid-back company, so they just said "Fuck it, cut em up!"

I want them to smell like balls.
Bowling balls?
They should smell like Pringle’s!
Fun fact: Pringles was originally supposed to manufacture tennis balls, but when the first truck of rubber was supposed to arrive, they brought potatoes instead. Pringles is a laid back company, so they just said, "fuck it, cut 'em up!"
