I don't know about the situation down there, but there are clone Pringles chips up here in Canada. They're made by a competitor but they copy the basic Pringles format and they taste pretty much the same.

Ah, the wonders of industrial copycat methods

Bah. Those knockoffs can't possibly compare to the real thing.

I'm actually not a big fan of Pringles to begin with, so perhaps I'm not the best person to ask, but I don't see the difference. Anyway, I like Fritos and Hickory Sticks.

I'm not all that fond of Pringles. The only kind that has any flavor at all that resembles pleasant is the salt and vinegar. Guess what kind of Pringles the local store doesn't stock. So I can go without pretty well.

No Pringles, no big deal for me.

So, anyone know when pringles will be back to normal?

I am going to go and buy a few cans of Pringles tomorrow. Then I can just wait and hope.

What is this tradgey that hath befall our land? WHY THE PRINGLES MAN, WHY THE PRINGLES! We shall seek vengeance for our fallen brothers! We must seek and destroy those who would plant a tornado near our chip factory. Whom, you might ask? The competitors, of course.

Frito Lay, Better Made, Other...chip...companies...To arms! Crush thine conspirators against the Pringle; for on this day they shall know pain! DESTROY!

Got a few cans...well back to eating Route 66 chips(god those suckers will kill before anything else will, but they're so good)

Post by **weemadando** » 2003-05-30 02:53am

Ha! The supermarkets here have Pringles on sale. Perhaps I should stock up to prepare for the roving warbands of hungry American geeks that I can exploit and get hard-currency from.

Sell them on eBay.

Herrs, if I recall correctly, makes its own version of Pringles, though they're not as good, IMHO.

At any rate, since I eat Combos, not Pringles, I'm okay for now, but if the Pringles-eaters start seeking out other non-bag-chip snacks, my own supplies could be threatened. Obviously, I must stock up. I'll store the extra bags in the gun safe.

Step forward Doritos to rule the snack market!!!

No but they should.

I've never been a big chip fan. If someone hands me a bag/can for free, I'll eat it. But I almost never spend my hard earned money on them. I'm more a cracker/cookie person.

Clearly, God is punishing us. Why? I live a clean life. It must because I associate myself with fornicating riffraff :: eyes sd.net ::

Everytime you masturbate, God destroys up a snack factory. Won't someone think of the snack factories?
