I *love* Pringles. And I have discovered a trick to make sure that I get the best can on the shelf. I take the cans one at a time and turn them over slowly to see how many pieces filter through and hit the underside of the top of the can. The fewer pieces I hear, the fewer broken "chips" are inside. Works pretty good. Might look a bit silly turning over several cans of Pringles, some more than once, but the pay-off of a load of unbroken "chips" is well worth it.
