Pringles
Pringles took a long time to invent since they went through a lot of trials and errors in the 1950s and 60s. Procter and Gamble developed the now-famous chip in an attempt to address four common issues with standard potato chips: they break easily, they’re greasy, they go stale, and there is too much air in the bag. Despite the fact that the chips and the can were created in 1958 by a chemist named Fredric Baur, the flavor lacked. It wasn’t until 1965 that it was perfected by the researcher Alexander Liepa. In addition, the machine that cooks Pringles was partially invented by sci-fi and fantasy novelist Gene Wolfe who also happened to be an industrial engineer.
