听力原文：
Pringles is a brand of potato and wheat snack produced by Procter & Gamble. It is one of the world’s most-recognized and best-selling snacks. Pringles came onto the market in 1968. The name Pringle came from an employee opening a telephone directory and seeing the name Pringle Drive in it. They are sold in over 100 countries and generate revenue in excess of $1 billion. Pringles cannot be called potato chips or potato crisps for legal reasons, because each Pringle contains only 42% of potato. They are in fact a mixture of potato and wheat. They are popular because of their diversity of flavours, uniform saddle shape (called a hyperbolic paraboloid) and a container that keeps them in one piece. The cremated remains of the inventor of the tubular can was buried in a Pringles can at his request. The Pringles slogan is: “Once you pop, the fun don't stop.”
品客是保洁公司生产的薯片品牌。品客也是世界上最知名，最畅销的零食品牌之一。品客于1968年进入市场。品客一词起源于一名雇员，他翻开了电话薄，并在其中发现了“Pringle Drive”这一地名。品客在全球100多个国家售卖，收入超过了10亿美金。由于法律原因，品客不能被称之为马铃薯片或是炸薯条，因为品客中只含有42%的土豆。事实上，它是小麦和土豆的混合物。品客的多种口味，马鞍形的薯片形状（叫作双曲抛物面）以及将其整合在一起的盒子都是品客流行的原因。按照他本人的要求，发明人火化之后盛残留物的管状盒放进了品客的盒子当中。品客的标语是：“一口之后，乐趣不停”。
