It’s to do with Tax, specifically Value Added Tax (VAT) which is placed on ‘luxury’ items. I imagine Pringles were arguing that they are not potato chips and therefore are not a luxury item, and so they will not attract the extra tax (which is almost 20%).

Potato chips are a “luxury item”? Wow. That’s sad.
