How much energy is there in a pringle?

 If you burn a pringle
and use it to heat a known volume of water 
then you can calculate the energy given to the water 
providing you know the start and finish temperatures 
 and can do a lot of complicated maths stuff
 sometimes you have to check your results
 and think about where the energy might get wasted
but 40ml can rise by 30 degrees or so with only one pringle
Impressive temperature rise.
