...yet I am well on the way to nailing a whole tube of the Texas BBQ. I know they're rubbish, and they aren't even real crisps, yet they are not much longer for this world.

I'm guessing the secret ingredient is crack?

You should've bought the vomit flavoured ones in the green tube - much easier to resist. that's how I plan to lose 15kg this spring

Then again, maybe crack could work too

i feel relieved šŸ™‚

cue the usual sanctimonioustrackworld regulars telling us that only crisps fried in placenta oil are acceptable to their delicate palettes....

Intense taste that disappears quickly, so you have another one.

Mmmmm, green Pringles. Utter shite and I love em. 1000kcal in a tube. It's like a huge meal that after eating, you want a huge meal. And some Jack Daniels.

Funny thing is: mashed potato shaped into Pringles and fried - not so keen. Mashed potato shaped into Hula Hoops and fried - om nom nom.

But only Walkers seem to know how to favour crisps correctly. Cheese n onion, salt n vinegar, chicken, smokey bacon. McCoys and Roystons are good too though.

Waiter! Can you get my friend a flavoursome glass of tap water, hold the bubbles, to accompany the taste explosion he is currently eating?

/never understood ready salted.

Don't really do pringles, not since I ate two packs of the paprika ones and my shits smelt like spicy pepper for 3 days. I'm a Wotsits man.

the spicy pringles are ace

i force myself to split a tube over 2 days.
that means i eat 90% of a tube in one go, and leave half inch or so plus all the crumbs for the next day

The only thing ready salted anything are good for is dipping into other stuff.

I remember the first time someone brought home a bunch of SC&O tubes from America before they'd ever been launched in Ireland. All we'd ever had were ****ing Taytos. Jeezus...there were riots over the last few.

I survived on a diet of a can of pringles and 2 pot noodles alternating with a pot noodle and 2 cans of pringles the following day. For 6 months in Bosnia on year. Healthy mmm...

Paprika crisps ftw. It has taken way too long to catch up with the continent on that one.

My association of pringle tubes from uni... A pal lived on them and his room was always littered with tubes of various full / emptiness. Always good if feeling peckish. Except the day after he couldn't be bothered leaving his room for a piss. Yeah,those foil-lined tubes are waterproof.

Pringles must [u]only[/u] be bought when half price, or when on a 2-for-1. Fortunately, or not maybe, this seems to be all the time.

We buy Salt n Vinegar ones, best salty tangyness.

Mix with Single Malt FTW.

I'm all for single malt quaffing (and pringle munching) but I defy anyone to tell the difference between a single malt and tesco value cooking whisky after abusing your mouth with a pringle salt and vinegar assault.

Penn State Sour Cream & Chive pretzels are bloody evil once you open the packet and take an unsuspecting bite BOOM! Your then addicted and the whole packet is gone in no time and your left with that desperate look wishing you had bought another packet. Warning even more evil with beer.

Salt and vinegar Pringles are brilliant when you're feeling done in on a long drive, a couple of Pringles every 2 minutes mixed with a can of red bull is an unbeatable combo for keeping you awake!

I find myself nostalgic for my youth. In the car in the pub car park. Bag of plain crisps with a little blue twisted pack of salt, or a bag of nibbets and a bottle of lemonade.

Hold a match or lighter to the edge a Pringle and watch them burn - and watch the fat drip off! I have, in all seriousness, used them to start fires in place of kindling.

Paprika FTW, btw.

Pah!
You've obviously never had a packet of JalapeƱo flavoured crisps! Pint of quality beer is essential accompaniment.
But for God's sake don't eat a packet, then forget and rub your eyes...

Thankfully olestra isn't allowed in the UK, but this always comes to mind when discussions of Pringles come around

http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/lax/182862349.html

It's a bit sweary if you're easily offended.

He may be a fraudulent nutter but there is no denying this:

The process begins with a slurry of rice, wheat, corn, and potato flakes that are pressed into shape.

You really want to eat that?

Pringles are oily and just nasty but that not to say I've never comsumed a packet or three, I just try avoiding them.

Countzero, the "Real" crisps I've tried are just rubbish (not tried that flavour), the Mackies (of scotchland) are much better and these seemed pretty damned good

I once thought that pringling a wheel had something to do with punctures, due to the 'once you pop, you can't stop' slogan, but then ... no, I just made that up.

I don't like crisps.
The miserable, cold, bastard offspring of a chip and a month old scab.

Especially the poncey, artisan ones that taste of other peoples feet.

Well I'll happily eat rice, wheat, corn and potato in other forms. Is it the use of the word slurry that offends you?

I don't any of it before it's a slurry but that's not the point.

However, the reason they make it into a slurry is so they can add the chemicals more easily that create the flavour and texture of the product and then shape so they fit in those ridiculous tubes.

It's another over processed, high carb, chemical ridden, over priced "food".

so they fit in those ridiculous tubes.

Man's got a point. Tubes are pretty ridiculous. Give me a box any day.

Used to work for Procter & Gamble, who make Pringles and sell them in their Staff shop for about 50p a can. We used to have competitions to see how many we could fit in our mouths at once. For a few years after I finished working there I stopped eating them for the same reason I can't drink cider. 😐
