For 5 years we’ve been on a mission with Pringles to help everyone feel more confident checking in with a mate and seeing if they're doing okay. In a real way.

There’s a myth that exists around men’s health that men don’t want to talk, and that they don’t see talking as an effective way to solve the problems they are facing. But research we carried out with 3,000 men from the UK, Australia and Canada shows this isn’t the case. In fact, 77% of men reported seeing talking as a good way of solving problems. However 41% of respondents reported regretting opening up to someone in their lives. This suggests that something was going wrong when they opened up and they didn’t get what they needed from the conversation.

Enter Pringles. With their help we’ve sought to support people in the lives of men to feel more confident having difficult conversations about mental health. We have transformed millions of cans of Pringles, giving them a scannable moustache to help access Movember Conversations, a tool where you can practice the skills you need to speak to men that are struggling. Since then, 200,000 people have visited Movember Conversations and users reporting excellent results: 87% reported an increased understand of how to reach out to men, 78% felt more confident to reach out to men.

This year we have big ambitions, with the goal to exceed 500,000 people scanning a Movember can of Pringles. If you’d like to brush up on your conversation skills or have a man in your life you’re worried about, then check out Movember Conversations and get chatting.
