"Pringles" is a "pack of chips" (more or less), so basically he means, "a pack of chips" is what the company will become. (this is what i understand :p )

What does this clarify? "A pack of chips" isn't a common idiom.

A pack of chips is generally really cheap in any region/country, so I think in the context, the idiom is explanatory.

Yes, I understood what was meant, I was pointing out that the parent comment didn't clarify it any further for the person who did not understand.

I think he meant that the price would come down to about $2.50 or so...

And here I was thinking he was saying I should invest in Pringles. :P

I once invested in a can of Pringles. Hours later, it's value was down to zero. A terrible financial decision.
