Just don’t forget the kidney pie. 
(I know there’s steak in there too… or so they say.)
Pringles are potatoe “crisps” because the potato chip manufacturers were up-in-arms about them being called “chips” when they most clearly weren’t made with the same slice-and-fry method of a chip.
They chip manufacturers didn’t want a new product on the shelf causing any buyer confusion.
The “crisp” moniker is the result of their outrage.
Sorry about “potatoe”. You may flog me now.
Wait’ll you see 3M’s entry into the imitation-Dorito market:

I must add this to my sig!
Please let me know if you object, *Darth Nader.
I’m only fixing the coding to show off my new sig. Normally, I’d assume you guys new what I meant…
Darth Nader. There. That’s better.
Ok, now I’m getting a complex.

heh. Denny’s has a white castle sliders rip off. 6 mini cheeseburgers.
Commercial for Stax in progress:
“…but don’t take our word for it, here’s what Darth Nader has to say about the new incredible Stax.”
“My ass has not yet exploded, so I guess they’re safe to eat”.
“There you have it folks, unsolicited endorsement. Enjoy.”
All my life, my one great dream has been to find a stacked potato crips offering from America’s snack makers - something better than Pringles. Something that wasn’t advertised by a guy with a big bushy mustache. Something just a bit thicker, a bit more salty, something served in an ergonomic plastic container rather than a banal cardboard tube. Now, at last, that snack is here.
It is a joyous day!
I see. You must have eaten some Stax. Looks like Darth Nader was wrong after all.
A commercial product that is really just a copy of some other commercial product? I am shocked, just shocked! takes a gulp of Vanilla Pepsi
Might I add if you are a fan of vanilla or white chocolate it is a great time to be alive.
Anyone had a white chocolate Kit Kat?
Whoo! **sperfur[\b], you have my blessing, as a minister of the Universal Life Church, to go forth and quote me in your sig line forevermore.
And the white chocolate Kit Kats are yummy. Have y’all tried the peanut butter cups?
sperfur, even.
They still use Olestra? :eek:
That is so 1996.
Wha’?
Is that a Boston thing?
Why you whippersnapper! I oughta…
I remember when pringles were first introduced. I remember the furor over them (Cecil wasn’t a national phenomena then, so there was a brief flurry of “How’d they do that???” going on.
I remember the commercials.
I even remember Screaming Yellow Zonkers, which were introudced about the same time.
Now, I ain’t old all that old and I can kick your butt. So if you don’t take that “advent of time” crack back, one day, you’ll find me and my buddy, The Frito Bandito and the Hamburgler a-knockin’ at your door and you’ll hear me whisper the words of doom: “Hey, how’d you like a nice Hawaiian Punch?”

You missed the recent reference in Cafe Society about “ancient” rock music. They were speaking of the Strawberry Alarm Clock. I abandoned the thread when someone bad-mouthed Tommy James and the Shondells (specifically Crimson and Clover). I knew things would get ugly if I hung around.
Ancient, my ass.
Well, I ain’t no spring chicken myself.
Call it poetic license – or pathetic denial, whichever you choose.
