Point of order please. Pringles are officially not crisps. They recently won a legal battle in the UK making them exempt from some tax or other, as they are rice based (or something like that) and not of the humble spud! They are delicious though.

Not if you read the first sentence of the font of all knowledge that is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pringles

I do remember what you're on about but I can't remember the facts, not that they matter!

BaaBaa, I am humbled by your salutations!

The all-important line is further down:

"Pringles have less than fifty-percent potato content"

Does rather beg the question what the rest is made of, but on 2nd thoughts, its probably best not to ask!

Lab analysis has revealed that Pringles are made from re-constituted, freeze-dried kleenex and sweat socks which impart the unique flavour and texture.
Beats me why anyone would actually pay to ingest surely one of the very crappiest junk snacks ever put on the market.

You forgot to mention the unique shape comes from being molded around an old shoe horn.

Taste alright with beer though!

An old shoe horn that hasn't been wiped down in decades.
Of course most things taste alright with beer. It just takes 9 Chang yais for the Prings!
