Pringles – Hateful, processed, pseudo-crisps….

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.

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.

Pah!
You’ve obviously never had a packet of Jalapeño 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…

Didnt the founder of pringles get burried in a pringles can..

death by msg

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

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

^^^That’s what you get for eating diet crisps.

MSG is their simple secret.

They are full of uuter crap.

Seems legit.

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

You really want to eat that?

Honestly, once I open the tube; I just don’t care!

Damn you all. Now I want Pringles.

Honestly, once I open the tube; I just don’t care!

That’s the MSG effect!

Sadly, I always think of these guys when I hear/read MSG.
Luckily, Pringles for lunch.

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.

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

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

Walkers. That’s all.

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”.

theyre not as nasty as jaffa cakes, tho have similar synthetic taste

Walkers. That’s all.

It’s this type of absolutism that is tearing our crisp community apart! How can we stand up to the haterz like Rusty Spanner, if we are constantly fighting amongst ourselves?!?!

so they fit in those ridiculous tubes.

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

Can’t make a potato cannon with a box.

See. That’s why you’re paid the big bucks.

Damn straight, now if you’ll excuse me.

Screw it. That’ll do.

I once emailed Seabrookes to tell them their S&V crisps were now crap, and just tasted greasy.

They never replied 🙁

…and then shape so they fit in those ridiculous tubes.

Are you suggesting tubeless is the future?

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. 😐

Not surprised. I’m not sure a nursing home would know what hell you were on about. 😉
