Apparently so.

The jury’s still out as to whether these guys have way too much time on their hands, or if this is simply a case of viral marketing, but this duo seemed to have answered the age-old conundrum of what to do with that empty Pringles can lying around the house: just turn it into a WiFi antenna. As you do.

We are glad to report it is now no longer necessary to run into the nearest Starbucks to hook up to a WiFi hotspot (Not that there’s anything wrong with Starbucks – in fact, there’s a Starbucks in Gadget Freak’s HQ building and we just can’t imagine starting the day without a Starbucks cappuccino). These practical yet fashionable pieces of tin make excellent WiFi antennas one can just pop straight into a laptop satchel, backpack, or similar.

And please note, it appears empty Salt and Vinegar Pringles cans make better WiFi antennas than Original Pringles cans do.
