Pringles.

What is it about these chips that make them so damned addicting? I swear to you, I can open a can, and have it finished off about 30 minutes later. I mean, I start eating them, and then completely loose track of how many I've had until I look in the can and realize there's only maybe 20 chips left.

I find the Sour Cream and Onion ones to be especially addicting. It's like they doused them with some sort of drug that has an instant reaction but no lasting side effects.

So yeah, anyone else here find them strangely addictive?

I think it's the cocaine they lace the pringles with.

Yes, I've come to that conclusion as well.

It could all be part of some evil scheme to get loads of money and then take over the world.

One thing I have found about eating Pringles, is that once I pop, I can't stop!

I love Pringles. I try to avoid them so as not to eat the whole can by myself.

Yeah. I have noticed this too. It's very strange. I don't normally buy Pringles but some other brands, but when I have got a can of these every now and then, they are indeed consumed very fast. And that's not a good thing. They should last longer.

I love pringles, but I kinda gave up eating them, because the annoying motto/slogan thing IS true, "once you pop, you just can't stop." Grah.

Pringles are yummy, but they're loaded with fat and salt so I get kind of sick if I eat a whole tube of them.

Speaking of chips, I like vinegar ones, but they don't really sell them in Finland anymore! Bastards. I guess it's just a good thing that I rarely eat chips now, though.
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.
2004-09-18, 4:47 AM #13
Hm, I prefer many other chips to Pringles. I haven't eaten Pringles for years though.

Pringles are uber. If let loose upon people with them, I can put away two tubs bloody quickly.

The crinkle cut plain ones were best, but they dont do those anymore i dont think, so i settle with salt and vinegar, and are the dipping ones any good? you know the pringles shaped like a platpus bill?
nope.

For some reason I think pringles leave a strange aftertaste...

i don't eat chips etc. much....i'm guessing because they were always portraited as EVIL in my house...and my mom seldom bought any snacks...mainly cause i'd eat them right away....but after years of maybe a bag of doritos or box of cheez-its appearing once every two months or so in the pantry...i sort of became accustomed to it....

but man...those pringles...*droooooooool*....i used to eat those soo much.....but now....lol the main reason i've stopped is because my hand's too big to fit down the tube and it becomes a hassle to finish it.....rofl....

Pringles are ok. But baked lays are the best.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

mmm baked lays are also really good. for some odd reason. pringles are alsoo really good. i agree with flexor

I like Utz chips better than Pringles, but otherwise Pringles are great.

Cottage cheese makes excellent dip for potato chips. Many may think this is gross or something, given how many people can't stand cottage cheese, but I don't care. Cottage Cheese + Chips = good + addicting.

There's like 1-2 grams of fat per chip. :confused:

times how many chips...?

yeah, pringles are addicting, but I find milano cookies even more addicting...but maybe that's just because I haven't had pringles in a while. I also like the reduced fat ones better (the only reduced fat food on the planet that tastes better than the origional). After living off those for a while, the regular kind seem almost soggy.

10 grams of fat per serving, 6 servings per container (actually, 5.75), around 57.5 grams of fat per container (approximately 2.03 ounces). That's approximately 35.3% of the container. Considerably less than the majority of potato chips out there.

NOT worthy of the name Pringles.

If you want a dipping chip, go get tortillas.
