We unpack how the Pringle chip’s familiar stack is born from a saddle-shaped hyperbolic paraboloid. With z = x^2/a^2 − y^2/b^2 and the boundary x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 < 1, the opposite curvatures distribute stress and enable precise, repeatable packaging. A bite-sized dive into how pure geometry turns snack time into engineering brilliance.
