However, @cookinghungry advises eating them differently - with the curve facing the tongue.
The man explains his opinion by noting that most of the seasoning settles on the upper side. Therefore, the aroma and flavor qualities will be better when consuming the chips in this manner.
"If you rub Pringles, you will feel all the spices from this side," added the TikToker.

The manufacturer's standpoint
On the brand's official website, there is also an answer to the question How to eat Pringles.
It states that there is actually no wrong way to eat the chips.
However, it is clarified that some people claim that it is best to eat them with the bottom side (the side facing the lid of the can) down.
'Pringles usually have more seasoning on the top side of the chip than on the bottom, so this way, you get the most intense flavor," the company concluded.

The history of creation
Before the creation of the globally renowned Pringles, the hands of Frederick Baur, Alexander Liepa, and Gene Wolfe played a significant role.
Baur began working on Pringles in the mid-1950s, seeking an alternative to traditional potato chips, which were often greasy, stale, and broken. He designed the unique shape of Pringles known as the "hyperbolic paraboloid" and the distinctive tubular can in which they were packaged.
Liepa continued the work initiated by Frederick and patented the recipe for the chips, initially named Pringles Newfangled Potato Chips until 1975. They began selling in the United States in October 1968.
American mechanical engineer Wolfe developed the machine that mass-produced Pringles. Today, he is more widely known as a science fiction writer and the recipient of numerous awards in the field of speculative fiction.
Currently, Pringles offers 25 different flavors in the United States and even more in other countries. According to the manufacturers, combining them all can create 318,000 unique aromas.
Among the most well-known and popular flavors are Original, Sour Cream & Onion, Barbecue, and Cheddar Cheese.
