The date on the left clearly shows this was uploaded in 2005, ultimately disproving the wacky "hoax" hoax, for further confirmation, the presence of a character resembling the mustached character we know and love confirms this was not a naming coincidence. Interestingly, this appears to be the first upload on this website featuring Pringles to any extent, though that seems to be of little importance.

I actually asked the great Platypus about this, and pointed out that interestingly, the uploader of the above picture, joined the site in 2007, putting the 2005 date on the Julius image uner question, so unless somebody else can step forth, there is _no_ prior usage of the "Julius" name prior to the phony Wikipedia edit. I didn't think think there was any chance I would end my weird little quest by all-but-confirming this absolutely insane origin story of the "Julius" title, but here we are.

But it's too late, he may have injected his friend's made up name onto the Wikipedia article, but that name is real now, this is a true, verifiable fact - this is the _real_ first name of Mr Pringles. One can only guess the convoluted adventure this falsity took to end up as the official name, but it has already happened, so this is not something that can or should be removed, and is not a real candidate for the mentioned list of citogenesis articles.
