[Albion] Pringles

[Giraffe]

Are they classified a crisp?

I gave them up for Lent (as wife gave up chocolate). Tonight though I sat down with a tube of Pringles and she called me out on it so now back in the cupboard.

But is it a crisp?!

If I lose this. I’m eating a lot of chocolate instead!

 

[MJsGhost]

Yes they are, but they are also minging, so just chuck them in the bin?

 

[Acker79]

Legally, yes. https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/pringles-arent-really-potato-chips/ "The British court ruled that the potato-based ingredients in Pringles suffice to make them crisps."

My wife always packs a couple when we go abroad… she’s f***ing odd though.

One of the only things I remember from the marketing element of my degree course is the concept of an EXTRUDED SNACK.

Extruded Snacks are processed to produce the shape/texture, whereas a crisp is a thin slice of raw potato that is then fried.

As such, I'm calling: NO. Pringles are an extruded snack and not a crisp.

Disclaimer: I might have recalled this all incorrectly.

Whatever they are, they're not very nice. "Once you pop, you can't stop" - bollocks. I did, and I can. Quite easily. Very bland.

My current weapon of choice is the grab-bag cheesy Wotsits. Once I open a bag of those suckers, there's no stopping me. I won't even pause to answer the phone if I'm still shovelling them into my gaping maw. Leave a message.

We had to come up with a new snack product and associated marketing plan.

Thinking about it, it was a poor man's Apprentice. And we weren't all ****s.

They are dry, tasteless and stick to the roof of your mouth.

You invented Pringles?

 

[Bozza]

You invented Pringles?

No. We invented TUCCos.

The Universal Crisp COmpany.

On reflection, we were just as bad as those Apprentice ****s.

Bit dangerous to throw quavers and wotsits under the bus in the current toxic environment.
