It Made My Day

Today I was saying how I hate the fact that my hand won’t fit in the Pringles tube and that they should really do something about it. So my niece’s husband (who works for Pringles) tells me that they’re working on that right now. IMMD

    Do you think perhaps he meant they’re keeping the tube narrow so that chubby little fingers can’t get inside and therefore help themselves to fewer Pringles, which in turn results in more tube-appropriate digits?

  2. noway says:

    Yeah, because turning the Pringles can is so difficult, isn’t it?

    • maerynpearl says:

      but if you turn it they are no longer in a nice neat stack and that just WONT do. Why have them in a nice stack in a tube if you are just going to have them end up all over anyway because you have to turn it?

      • Halconnen says:

        Worse, crumbs end up everywhere when you do that.

        I much have the same problem, eating em would be a -lot- easier if you didn’t keep having to turn the darn tube about.

  3. Nakiamiir says:

    I’ve got the same problem, my hand can’t fit in! It’s a good news they are working on it! xD

  4. Shawn Pickett says:

    Watch the movie Clerks by Kevin Smith, you’ll know why when you see the Pringle’s scene.

    oooh classified information!!! *points*

  6. M.U. says:

    Well the do have those single-serving size containers. That’s one solution I suppose. (It also helps with the “once you pop” problem).

  7. Caitlin says:

    Is this an inside joke? Cause it’s not funny.

  8. Kate says:

    Eating less pringles might make you hand fit!

  9. Tim says:

    If this is true, I think you just made a lot of people’s day. Big-handed people unite!!

  10. Amanda says:

    Eating *fewer* Pringles. And last time I checked, the size of the bones in your hand aren’t affected by crisp consumption. Even my skinny-minny friends can’t fit their hands in the Pringles can.

  11. Emily says:

    I always had to gloat a little sharing Pringles with my dad…I could reach right to the bottom of the can and he had to shake them out, getting crumbs all over the place…

  12. Sofa Spud says:

    It’s called “gravity” — the can may be tilted to a non-vertical position, causing the “chips” to slide along the tube toward the aperture, which allows easier manual access.

  13. Rikita says:

    I want a can that I can stick my whole head in.

  14. Emi says:

    way to go pringles. encouraging people to eat even more crap food.

  15. Igetstabby says:

    It’s being handled by top men.

  16. Sarah says:

    I think that is great because I was just thinking about that last week on vacation. Pringles are my vacation snack. It takes me a couple days to finish a can. When you tip the can a whole bunch the chips break and bits of chips get all over.

  17. Greg says:

    you guys really eat too much pringles to be annoyed by this kind of tiny little stuff…
    Try veggies, and break the fat craving cycle, your arteries will thank you one day

  18. Gerben says:

    Stretchable pringles cans!

    • Deathtron says:

      New! Pringles Bags! That same great pringles taste, with none of the stressful, degrading, exhausting effort of the can! Now with a new CRAAAAAZY semi-circular shape! You’ll never know WHAT shape they’ll come out as!

  19. ScottyB says:

    Pringles PushPop cans! Now you just gotta get your fat fingers UNDER the can
    PS: I can get my whole hand in. It is ninja technique called “Striking Snake”

  20. cheribom says:

    “A little word of advice, my friend. Sometimes you gotta let those hard-to-reach chips go. “

  21. mudball says:

    Why not make the pringles bigger around therefore forcing you to make a biiger tube that I can get my hand in…

  22. Quinn says:

    I don’t really eat them much, but tipping the can over a bit never breaks the chips or ruins the stack when I or anyone else I know does it. Just grasp the top of the pile and the sides of the chips you want. Seriously. Don’t flip the can straight upside down, use a bit of common sense, and there you go.

  23. Nana says:

    And research orgs spend millions of dollars doing studies on why Americans are so fat. Sheesh. 30+ posts about how best to get Pringles out of the can gives me a big fat clue. (Forgive me, non-Americans, I didn’t mean to offend you. Maybe you’re too fat, too.)

  24. Jules says:

    Its funny, i never had this problem, i actually like to impress people with my ability to fit my hand easily and effortlessly into a pringles can…even more amazing considering i am 5’10, so not a small girl :)

  25. Nick says:

    Oh I can get my hand IN, it’s the getting it back OUT that is the problem… lol. (Especially if your other hand is occupied, say, holding a bag or typing or keeping pressure on a button to prevent the earth from blowing up…)

    My boyfriend and I were watching the History channel the other night, with a can of Pringles sitting between us. I noticed that almost every time I took a crisp out of the can, he’d snatch it from me and eat it. I began getting really annoyed, and he explained why: He couldn’t get his hand in the can (and for the record, he’s fit and athletic, but also a full grown man: his hand doesn’t fit because he has big hands, not due to fatness.) My hands fit fine (and I proved this by sticking my whole hand and wrist inside, only to realize how filthy that looked), so I helped him out by taking a small stack out for him and putting it on the lid, balanced on his knee.

  27. K says:

    Er that’s why you tip the can.
    DUH
