Pringles Transforms Its Iconic Can Into All-In-One Microphone & Streaming Device
It’s no secret that video games and e-sports have taken over the web. In fact, over 1.17 billion hours of content—the equivalent of 133,561 years—were watched on YouTube Gaming in Q3 of 2022.
As such, Pringles has stepped onto the scene as an unexpected but strategic ally: the all-new Pringles Original Gamer’s Limited Edition Microphone Amplifier & Streaming Device All-In-One Can Pack.
Seeing how the gaming accessories market is on track to reach US$24 billion by 2030, the snack brand decided to enhance gamers’ experience by transforming its iconic can into a useful tool.
This makeover is achieved through subtle yet effective stickers and micro-perforations, optimizing sound transmission to headphones—creating a semi-professional acoustic environment that resonates with the needs of gamers.

But this concept isn’t just about hardware evolution; it embodies the spirit of community, too. The company recognizes that gamers are more than just players; they are influencers, storytellers, and trendsetters.
That’s why these limited edition packs are being distributed to influential gaming figures, allowing them to amplify their voices within the esports universe.
For instance, Pringles sent one of the 300 limited-edition kits to Samy Rivers, one of the most prominent female voices in the gaming industry, to help further boost her audience.
Now, the brand is extending an invitation to everyone to make their own microphone amplifier at home using their Pringles cans.
Gamers can get in on the action for as little as US$2.36, compared to the typical microphone, which can often cost upwards of US$100.
