Great Potato Chip War

This episode of the Robert MacNeil Report looks at Pringles and American potato chips in general. MacNeil and Lehrer speak with food industry experts and representatives about how the combination of airtight, tubular cans and the saddle-shape of each Pringle made it a phenomenon that threatens to monopolize the potato chip industry.
