It all started when Mario Pringle wanted a different kind of chip, one that wouldn't leave his fingers "all oily." The only skills he pocessed were in the field of tennis, and they were very few. He asked his brother Luigi Pringle what his thoughts about making potato chips was, for Luigi was a master chef. He slapped his brother accross the face. Mario only remembers exclaiming "Momma Mia." Luigi was furious that Mario would even consider sully the good Pringle name. But he did not give up hope. After years of studying the potato he learned how to develop the perfect chip, but at the very moment he pulled the first official batch out of the oil Luigi walked in. He had to think quickly. He grabbed a tennis ball tube and the rest is history.
