Pringles are a delicious and popular family favorite snack. The chips are perfectly bite-sized and the air-tight container they come in keeps the chips fresh and safe from being crushed. Pringles are just all around awesome. But there are many ways a Pringles container could be repurposed that you may never have considered.
Here are 10 awesome ways to repurpose empty Pringles cans instead of just tossing them in the trash:
1. Store plastic bags
