Have you ever opened up a bag of crisps and marvelled at the bizarre shape of one of the snacks? Finding a misshapen crisp isn’t impossible, but it is usually pretty rare, which is why some people have taken to sites like eBay to sell their unique finds for staggering amounts.
In fact, one seller currently has a listing for one Sour Cream and Onion flavour Pringle that is on sale for an eye-watering GBP 2,000 (about USD 2,446) – all because they believe the shape of the crisp is “extremely rare”.
The seller claims the Pringle is ‘extremely rare’. Courtesy: eBay/Triangle NewsPut up on May 3, the Pringle has a complete fold on the top edge that lines up perfectly with the rest of the crisp, and the seller, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, claims the snack is a “brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item”.
And while you might be tempted to snap up the crisp for two grand, you could always just purchase an unopened pack of Pringles for around GBP 1.65 (about USD 2,2) and take your chances on finding a folded crisp of your own.
The seller of the pricey Pringle has also allowed finance options on his rare snack, which would see the buyer spend GBP 95 (about USD 116)-a-month for two years – for a total of GBP 2,280 (about USD 2,786). But it looks as though the seller could be pricing himself out of the market, as he’s not the only one selling folded Pringles on eBay, and some are doing it for much cheaper.

“Folded back Pringle with a slight crack in it but holding together strongly. Don’t miss out, you won’t see one again!.”
