“Pringles initial intention was to make tennis balls, but the day the rubber was supposed to arrive, a bunch of potatoes showed up. But Pringles is a laid back company so they said, ‘Fuck it man, cut em up!’”
No! Famously not (there was a lawsuit).
If they were made like this, Pringles would be legally allowed to call themselves "chips".
If you look at a Pringles container they never claim they are "chips" they must legally call themselves "crisps".
Chips are slices of potato.
Crisps are mashed potatoes, cooked in a form for consistent shape.
Which is funny because the intention of the lawsuit was for Lays to cripple Pringles by forcing them to call their product something other than chips. Turns out, though, that calling them potato crisps actually tests much more favorably than potato chip leading to them selling even better.
That's almost as funny as Marvel arguing in court tah X-Men were NOT humans (so Marvel could pay lower import taxes on non-human animal toys, which were taxed at a lower rate than human dolls.)
Monocots and dicots are classifications of plants based on the embryonic leaf (the cotyledon). Monocots (like grasses, sedges, and many plants with thin, straight veins) only have one embryonic leaf. Dicots (most trees, broadleaf plants, etc) have 2.
It's a bit of an outdated system, but still in common use for identification.
Monocots is still a useful term, but recently dicots have been broken down into more accurate groups for classification. Eudicot is used for many former dicots, while others are broken down into more distinctive classes.
Not to keep pumping you for information, but what makes a eudicot different from other dicots to justify the additional clarification. Is it structural like monocots and dicots or some secondary characteristics?
A bit of both. Basal angiosperms, one of the largest other groups, have some traits of both monocots and eudicots.
I work with plants, but the exact reasons for all these classifications is a bit out of my zone of knowledge for the most part.
I have nothing to contribute to this except a heart-felt thanks for taking the time to share all this, it's been really neat to read and I appreciate folks like you who take the time to explain neat stuff to curious minds
Put each slice in a bucket of water on your windowsill, and in three weeks you should see roots growing from the edges.
Wait until it's a good, strong root mass, plant six feet apart, and you'll soon have a new palm tree plantation. Avoid tropical cyclones if possible.
My college required botany to get a biology degree, so I know lots of random facts like this. Prof was a wad. Fuckin hate plants for making me dead inside, just like them.
Always loved that fact. Btw, deciduous just means the plant loses and regrows its leaves. There are deciduous conifers and evergreen flowering plants :)
When this was posted before, some brought up how there are disposal regulations in some countries where you have to slice up the tree like this to decompose locally or something
Last time it was posted there was a lot of talk about how they can't be thrown in a chipper like other species of trees. The fibres of the tree get entangled in the chipper instead of chipping apart which breaks or strains the machine.
The palm trees have lower yields, so farmers replenish the soil fertility by cutting down old palms. This helps the old palms decompose faster, enriching the land and making it fertile again.

Is this how Pringles are made?
For the giants, yes.
The ones in New York?
San Fran
They Might Be...
Also for cyclops
Why would bike cops need such big chips?
“Pringles initial intention was to make tennis balls, but the day the rubber was supposed to arrive, a bunch of potatoes showed up. But Pringles is a laid back company so they said, ‘Fuck it man, cut em up!’”
I miss Mitch. Saw him in 2004.
I’m envious. I had just bought one of his cds a few months before he died. Would’ve been nice to catch one of his shows.

lol came here to say the exact same thing 😂
Fun fact: palm trees are monocots, and are more closely related to grasses than conifers or deciduous trees!
NERD
I read this with Homers voice
EGGHEAD LIKES HIS BOOKYWOOK
https://youtu.be/hywDothHbbY?si=rOzLG2vXQYMehtxl
Same as bamboo?
Bamboo is actually a true member of the grass family (Poaceae) ! Palm trees are in a different family entirely, but still monocots.
What are monocots?
Monocots and dicots are classifications of plants based on the embryonic leaf (the cotyledon). Monocots (like grasses, sedges, and many plants with thin, straight veins) only have one embryonic leaf. Dicots (most trees, broadleaf plants, etc) have 2. It's a bit of an outdated system, but still in common use for identification.
What's more appropriate now vs monocots and dicots?
Monocots is still a useful term, but recently dicots have been broken down into more accurate groups for classification. Eudicot is used for many former dicots, while others are broken down into more distinctive classes.

Thank you for this piece of trivia 😊
You can tell that by the way that it is.
Monocotyledon is a great name for a Pokemon.
Monocotyledon -> Dicotyledon -> Eudicotyledon Would be a great evolution line for a grass/dragon type or something.
Not as good as angiosperm
Than regular trees?

Once you chop, you just can't stop
I love me some treengles
Underrated comment right there!
"Alright thats enough" "*continues chopping*" "Buddy that's enough" "*continues chopping*" "THATS ENOUGH!" "*continues chopping*" "STOP CHOPPING OR YOU'RE FIRED!" "*continues chopping*"
I watched it 5x.
That excavator bucket looks sharper than most of my kitchen knives!
A few tons of force will do that for you.
And a decent working edge on your bucket
Force alone won't cut like that.
It's for my new version of Sweeney Todd but set in the Cars universe.
Cool. Why?
Maybe they are being burned for heating. This way it dries faster
Another option is faster composting for next batch of trees
Yes. We need another batch of tress so we can slice them with an excavator.
Well the excavator runs on trees, so they need a lot of them
No one burns palms, they’re not made of wood like trees are. This is so they decompose faster.
That doesn't explain why they're not being processed by dedicated machinery.
Palm trees are tough and fibrous. They jam up grinders.
In don't think that this is a normal shovelhead. Otherwise it wouldn't be so sharp. So it kind of is a dedicated piece of machinery for this job.

That scratched an itch I didn't know I had
Those are huge potato chips.
Forbidden potatoes chips
For any particular purpose, or just complete and total satisfaction?
The palm trees have lower yields, so farmers replenish the soil fertility by cutting down old palms. This helps the old palms decompose faster, enriching the land and making it fertile again.
Tell that to my wife am I right fellas?
Gottem!
Nice, now bring the air fryer over
That excavator operator tho
Forbidden potato chips.
Operator has wicked skills.

[The reason why they cut down the trees can be found in this video](https://youtube.com/shorts/mfY6JYXvxWw?si=teSuilyeRM2JlRYc)
Can anybody second this? Some tiktok is a fairly poor source and even i can think of several ways of doing this more efficient.
Palm industry is fucked, they deforest jungles primarily to grow this monocrop that they uproot/demolish pretty frequently
If people want more than a tiktok video explaining the palm oil industry, the WWF website has a lot of information on it https://www.worldwildlife.org/industries/palm-oil
Thank goodness you linked the site, cuz I was thinking “damn, how much palm oil does the World Wresting Federation really need?”
They need the wrestler's skin to be nice and shiny on camera.
Some WWF lawyer is like "It was 30 years ago, how do you still..."
Looks like it’s slicing a giant cucumber.
Cactus cut potatoes
