Why: Pringles is a very fun, tasty snack they give you a lot of chips. Unfortunetly the can is thin so its hard to get the last phew at the bottom without flipping the can over and risking spilling your chips on the floor. So I had to figure out a way to get the bottom chips without flipping the can over or tipping it.

The only solution is to make something that will lift the chips of the bottom. So i made a can bottom that will go up when you need it to just like a deodarent stick bottom or a glue stick has a crank bottom. it will bring the chips up when you need it to and you can make it go down if you want to.

The process of making the pringles can was kindof difficult. I had to make sure that the spring would come down and go up as you crank. The spring would at times get stuck and it was frustraiting to have to take the whole thing off and re do it. I sometimes had to go buy more supplies to try it again.

The potato chip was invented in saratoga springs, new york august 14th, 1853. it was an accident that turned into a side snack. The pringles were first sold in the unites states on october 1968. They wanted to make a chip that wouldnt get stale as fast and so the bag wouldnt have so much " air space".

They made a can that would keep moisture out and they took up all the space they could in it. The only problem was that it wasnt an "actual potato chip". But people got over it now the only problem is that its to long and not enough room for hands.

=Now in may of 2012 i am inventing a can that will solve all the problems and design a new can that will not only crank it up as you need it but also down when you need it to go down for what ever you desire .
