    What “supercomputer” did they use in 1968 to make the chip shape when Pringles were invented?

    Edit:

    My digging around has resulted in this find:

      ENIAC was built in 1945. And Cray was building supercomputers in the 60s

        I understand that there were “supercomputers” for the day, but I don’t think they called them that. They were just computers. I want to know exactly which one was used to design a reconstituted potato chip.
