In a London courtroom in July 2008, Procter & Gamble lawyers successfully argued against Keiron Williams that Pringles are not crisps, even though it says "Potato Crisps" on the container, as their actual potato content is only 42%. This exempts Pringles from the 17.5% Value Added Tax for potato chips and potato-derived snacks.[18] The Court of Appeal, however, has reversed the tribunal's decision. A spokesperson for Procter & Gamble stated that they have been paying the Value Added Tax protectively and therefore will not owe back taxes.[19][20]

Oh, and Honeywell.
They make home thermostats and the turbines for blackhawks.
And they help make nuclear warheads apparently. 11/5/2010 4:48:43 PM |

I think Pringles' initial intention was to make tennis balls. But on the day that the rubber was supposed to show up, a big truckload of potatoes arrived. But Pringles was a laid-back company. They said "Fuck it. Cut 'em up." 11/5/2010 4:53:29 PM |
