Selected answer:Pringles
Explanation:
Do you want an explanation in English?

Pringles are a make of crisp sold in the UK - they're sold in large tubes rather than packets, and are often used to scoop up dips of various kinds.

However, there is also a make of woollen pullover made by the Pringle company - very popular with golfers, and often used as a stereotype to refer to a middle-class, suburban lifestyle ("The Pringle set..")
