Maybe they can progressively make Pringles cans bigger so you can store your old cans inside your new cans.

The traditional thing to do is to make packaging smaller (while keeping price the same) - so you'd get to store your new cans in your old cans.

The tradition is to keep the packaging the same, but less content.

The same packaging for less should be a crime with bankrupting fines.

Trick is to fluff up your product more.

I think by that time we'll have figured out how to safely store or reuse Pringles cans. Then we can apply the same method to nuclear waste and all of our problems will be solved.
