Simple question. When you are eating Pringles, can you fit your hand into the can to grab the “potato crisps”(*) near the bottom when the can is running low? I became curious while eating some just now.
(*) That’s what this can I’ve got here calls them.

Aren’t you an experimental physicist? Shouldn’t this be something best left to CERN?
Where’s your grant?
You think you can crowdsource something as important as this?!
(No; I have catcher’s mitt hands)
I dunno, but I’ll bet Helen could.
I don’t really eat Pringles that much, so I put down “never tried.” But I have really tiny hands, so I think I could.
Maybe it’s better to live in this false reality of hope than to try and fail. 
Hell yeah I can. It always looks weird when people tilt the can to pour out the Pringles (though I understand why), since I always just reach in and grab. Oh, I don’t know if that’s a related-but-different ability – not only fitting your hand in the tube, but having room for your fingers to slide down beside the chip-stack and separate your portion to grab and pull out.
I can, but I usually don’t because I don’t want to get stuff all over the back of my hand.
The Department of Energy denied my grant application for “Study of the digital extraction of Pringles from retail containers using the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron.” So, I’m stuck polling you guys. 
I voted “other.” I have short-ish fingers and broad palms, so my hands look a bit long and narrow when you look at them right, but they won’t normally fit into a tube that size. However, they’re strong enough to bend the mouth of the tube into an oval that they will fit into.
Yes, this.
I have fairly small hands (nitrile glove size medium). But I still tip the can, cause grease, salt and crusty bits aren’t nice to have on my hands.
I can’t, but then again, all of my extremities are quite large.
I can and it drives me nuts when my dad or my husband disrespects the Pringles order by dumping them into their hands.
I cannot without bending the can. I can get surprisingly deep just using my fingers, though.
No, and even when I could I was like The Boy in The Filberts, I’d get my hand stuck in there because I refused to let go of the chips.
No way. I just tried and I can only barely get to the second knuckles on my fingers. I tried just the four fingers, and they go in until the point where my thumb gets in the way, but the can bends and I can’t really move the fingers.
I thought for sure this thread was inspired by this (NSFW):[spoiler]- YouTube
Heck, no. My hands are huge! I have to special order my gloves as my hands are wide, and I have short stubby fingers. I can only get two fingers into the mouth of a Pringles can. The fingers are only 4.25" long but each one is 1" in diameter.
Smaller hands would be handy, as I often have to get help when faced with the small access holes in the aircraft I maintain. OTOH, I can carry two full five gallon buckets, or three full milk jugs, in each hand. Ok, ok, I can get four milk jugs with my left hand, but only three with my right.
When I grab a handfull of cashew nuts, I get a HANDFULL. One of my handfulls is equal to three handfulls of a “normal” sized hand.
I do not like the taste of Pringles, so I rarely eat them, but when I eat them, I just tip the can into my mouth, as there are so few chips in them anyway.
Catchers mitts? They do not make them large enough for me. My (larger & older) cousin had one made for him, & when it wore out he gave it to me & had a new one made for him. I had the old one repaired by my cobbler grandfather, & used it through high school. I still use it today, thirty some odd years later.
Uncle Julie?! 
We have a family member of lore who flew small aircraft up in Canada and the Northwest US, who had legendary large, strong hands like yours. Reports are that he could drop a quarter through his wedding band and it wouldn’t even “clink” on the way through. He got himself into a spot of trouble once, so they say, being out alone and doing some repairs to his plane which required “finger tight” bolts…his version of finger tight broke bolts, so was usually something he had to ask for assistance with. As that sounds a wee bit exaggerated, I’m betting that he, like you, simply couldn’t *reach *some of the small fiddly bits to fasten them.
He would not have been able to fit his hand in a Pringles can, I’m certain.
Ha. I am not thin, never have been and people at work look at me funny when I request “small gloves.” Small fit best, but if I have been wearing gloves for a while (doing a whole set of change rounds on the floor) I will move up to medium just because as my hands get sweaty, then washed etc between patients it takes too long to put on small. (By “long” I mean more than 3 seconds). When it comes to sterile gloves I am kind of sunk, usually size 7 is as small as they have, and I would prefer smaller.
Hand, schmand. Real men can lick the inside bottom of the Pringles can.
With what, a prehensile tongue?
