Granted, they do ease the crushing pain of modern life, at least for a brief moment.

Do said “snax” give you a belly ache if you eat a bunch of em?

The cool thing about pringles cans is that they can be used to make a pretty good steam roller (not that I know from personal experience while in college, or anything).

This is the lamest pit rant eva! (Hey, somebody was eventually going to say this, right?)
For your bunghole? 
There were Pringles in 1968!? :eek:
Sometimes I feel so small and backwaters-y.
Then I remember we’re talking about Pringles - over priced and undersalted…
So if America uses the word “crisp” to mean “potato sawdust pressings”, what word do they use to market them in Great Britain, where “crisps” are chips?
Yum. What a great endorsement. Gotta get me some of them. :rolleyes:

Oh, not hardly. Stick around a while, you ain’t seen really lame Pit ranting yet.
That’s the short, short version.
Whoa! Let me veer way off topic here!
I am nearly 30 years old. In my younger years I had quite a soft spot for Pringles. I must have eaten hundreds of cans over the years. It took me until reading this thread today to learn that Pringles are shaped that way 'cause they’re supposed to fit on your tongue!! I had no idea! I thought that shape was just so they’d sit nicely on top of each other in the can!
Go figure…
Only if you have a long, thin, cylindrical head.
Well, that explains the taste.
UNDERSALTED!? What!? PRINGLES!? UNDERSALTED!? Does not compute! Really, most people’s appetite for salt astounds me! Oh well, perhaps I’ll die at 40 or 50 years of age in a spectacularly cool explosion or sporting accident, as opposed to heart disease like everyone else.
Look, it’s just PepsiCo and Procter & Gamble slugging it out.
On the question of wonderful things you can do with a Pringles tube, there was a wonderful set of instructions complete with some stuff to cut out in Viz once: the Kyliedoscope.
- Pierce a hole with a nail in the metallic bottom of an empty Pringles tube.
- Fold a rectangular piece of aluminium foil the same length as the tube in half and insert it itno the tube so that the fold is aligned with the central axis of the Pringles tube.
- Place a sheet of cling-film (cellophane) over the open end.
- Cut out the little naked pictures of Kylie Minogue and the little dildos from your copy of Viz and place them on the cling-film.
- Place the transparent top over the cellophane, trapping the pictures in.
- Now look through the little hole and rotate the tube and you will see a kaleidoscopic ballet of naked Kylie Minogues and dildos!
Just before the last war in Iraq, they had another kit featuring one of those mini-Pringles tubes. It said on the cover:
“Free inside!
JUMPIN’ JACK FLASH!
It’s a Rolling Stones
GAS GAS GAS mask!”
Which was a cut out gas mask with a picture of Mick Jagger on it. You sellotaped the Pringles tube to it to form the filter cannister. I never leave home without it.
:eek:
I hear tell they use them at zoos for impregnating pandas!
And all these years I thought the shape was so you could put 2 of them back to back and make yourself look like you have a duck’s bill. You learn something new every day on this board.
I haven’t had any since the day they changed from fat to Olestra, thereby making the entire product essentially a petrochemical byproduct.
You can also use them as bowling pins in a homemade game.
FYI, they still sell the original oil versions. It’s the “Fat Free” ones with Olestra.
Mmmm, Potato sawdust pressings – the perfect complement to warm English beer.
Actually I don’t think our labelling laws demand a differentiation between reconstituted potato filings and sliced potato chips.
