Somehow it seems strange that a company claims that its product is not
really 'real'.

Anybody who thought Pringles were real potato chips has never eaten
one. Reconstituted mashed potatoes was my opinion. I wait for other
people to eat them and then ask for the box, which can be useful after
it's emptied.... you could call it the cigar box of potatoes.

I've always thought of it as a can. My brother-in-law loved them
until he read the list of ingredientsn

If you drop a burning Kleenex into one
and put the top back on, after the fire
goes out and the air cools, the suction
becomes strong enough to suck the top
into the can with a loud pop.

Unless they've changed the design of
the can since I was a teenager.

Where I live, there's a junk food tax on candy bars that kids
might eat like Mars or Snickers, but no such tax on chocolate
bars that yuppies eat like Sharffenberger or Green and Black.
Economic discrimination, I say.

I'll put aside that this subject has been aired here within the
last seventy-two or so hours.

Pringles are real, in the sense that they are really Pringles.
Pringles have been around for a long time. Has anyone
with more than room temperature IQ ever thought that they
are really chips or crisps? At best, a chip/crisp-like substance.

Could be racial/class discrimination, like the way
the penalty for possessing crack cocaine is way
higher than for regular cocaine.

What do you suppose the penalty should be for a "foodie" possessing a can
of Pringles?

LOL. We get the six pack to keep around for the kids. I might nibble
in a few every few months with a sandwich or something. But they are
pretty sad.

Wonder Bread.

Actually these kids are in their early 20's, and they'd be happy with
that.

Note that I was talking about "Also good for serving to guests I don't
like", which is the line above my quip - not the kids mentioned earlier.

I didn't expect there was any offense. I just wanted to set the record
straight that I was not talking about making *kids* sit at the kids'
table as punishment, becuase that would've been a stupid thing to say.

Don't knock a Pringles can. With a threaded tube, nuts, washers, an
female N connector and some solder you can make a kick ass 802.11 yagi
(a very directional antennna.)

Yeah, I bet you could. It's the contents in serious qustions, though.
Gawd, I haven't thought about antennas in years. :-)

Since Pringles are so cheap I'd just crush it up and feed it to the
birds then I could use the can for the point-to-point antenna system I
want to put together.
