About the Work

Ever since the dawn of Pringles, people have gotten their hands stuck in the cans while reaching for that last crisp. In fact, studies show that 43% of people have gotten their hands stuck in a Pringles can. Many who experienced this phenomenon turned to social media to complain and tell their stories—leading the internet to be full of thousands of posts, comedy skits, and technological solutions on the subject. But instead of apologizing or making a change to their iconic cylindrical can, Pringles decided to turn this complaint into a compliment. Taking inspiration from the thousands of complaints across the internet, Pringles turned those collective experiences into a celebration of the phenomenon—all for the intended purpose of showing fans that there’s nothing wrong with getting stuck in. We did this through a film shot by Tom Kuntz, telling the story of a man who gets his hand stuck in a Pringles can—and lives his entire life with it, until his very last breath. We ran the social film on the very same social platforms that the complaints were originally posted on, “responding” to people in the same spaces where they interacted with us to begin with. The film was well-received by the public, earning praise from a wide range of publications such as Wall Street Journal, Complex, Variety, and many others—reaching 2 billion impressions.
