The great thing about the cans is that they're reasonably air-tight. I find if I open a sleeve of soda crackers and then try to close them up and store them in the original box they're pretty much guaranteed to be stale by about half-way through the sleeve.
Not so if I store them in a Pringles can. They stay fresh for way longer due to the confined space and decent-sealing lid.

How would they go with coffee beans, I wonder!

Wouldn't it be better to find someone that likes Pringles and take their can when they're done? Buying something you don't enjoy so you can reuse the packaging, that most people throw away, seems like a poor solution.

Yeah but would I store food in a paperboard can that somebody else had grubbed their hands around in? Maybe its not dooable.
Normally I don't buy Pringles at all, not in decades. Because, honestly, they're the consistency of pasteboard and taste of mostly salt. The bottom rung on the snack ladder. I snack on nothing instead of Pringles if that's the only option.
But the can! That seems worthwhile now that you call out its many uses.
