Did my Pringles shrink in the wash ...

SB118 · 19 Jun 2010 at 19:45

...or are they REALLY ****ing small now? :eek:

Grabbed a couple of tubes and some dip so i could veg out to a movie once the kids are in bed and decided it wouldn't hurt to have a couple right now (i can stop when ever i want)

I opened the tube (which proudly declares that it has 90 pringles inside) and how can i put it, there appears to be an awful lot of air where the pringles used to be

I understand that they shrink products to keep there margins steady (5 grams off a Mars bar, etc) but these things look like the snack size buggers they used to sell!

I want my pringles back!!!!

The whole '90 pringles in a can' thing is BS.

They've reduced the thickness (and possibly the area) of each pringle, so in effect it's still the exactly same amount of baked potato snack as it was before.

Plus Pringles have the crappest, cheesiest adverts known to man.

They used to be 40% fat! Maybe they just sliced 5% of the fat content off!

I hate the fact that I need help eating more than half a tube of pringles, or risk crumbs in my lap. Damn meaty hands :mad:

Mobius 1 · 19 Jun 2010 at 20:33

does anybody do the obligatory duck beak when they eat pringles? or is it just me..?

It's just not true.

Just like all food recently, make it smaller charge same price if not more then call it healthier

Creelers · 19 Jun 2010 at 21:04

I was going to say what markomania said. Everything is getting smaller and price is going up or staying the same!

MisChief · 19 Jun 2010 at 21:23

a regular tube of pringles is now 155g... back in the good ol' days they were 200g. so yes, they have got smaller and more expensive. they're like £1.50+ a tube now... but i get them from work for 50p

PhillyDee · 19 Jun 2010 at 21:27

Im sorry, but you washed them?

What happened to the flavouring . . . . ?

LeJosh · 19 Jun 2010 at 21:28

95p in the big ASDAs and what not.
