2pints-mate 0 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 My WoMan has just come back and presented me with some special Pringles. Sour cream flavour, Manchester United branded Pringles. Obviously the Wigan Athletic ones had sold out. Obviously! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Further investigation shows that it is Mister Potato which is the "official snack partner of Manchester United". I'm all researched out these days! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 And maybe they could run a steam turbine.... Pringle-powered Power Station's!! The way of the future......AND saves the country's health as all pringles are snaffled by the government to run a highly efficient snack burning electricity scam Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 But then Pringles Salt & Vinegar are DAMNED good. Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I like pretty much any flavor. Once I pop, I just can't stop. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 thats because of an additive in Pringles that fools your hunger centre in the brain and makes you yearn for more. Technically not crisps as they are made from potato flour and sawdust..........ok theres no sawdust in them!! Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Is that true TB? Are Jaffa Cakes cakes or biscuits? That is the other question. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 yeah its true. Its main culprit is large quantities of MSG and of course salt. Both are very adept at making us crave more. And the whole not a real potato crisp thing was actually pushed by Pringles so that they wouldn't have to pay tax in the UK.....which taxes crisps as they are considered "luxury items" and snacks (which pringles were wanting to be) as being "required food". The shocking true story of how Pringles are made Pringles may be one of the most sci-fi foods of our time. So thin, so homogeneous, so regularly shaped that they can be stacked perfectly, these chips are truly the food of the future. But how are they made? First, to understand what Pringles (and other stackable chips) are, you have to develop a Zen detachment from the idea of potato chips coming from actual potatoes in any recognizable way. In fact, the Pringles company once argued that their high amount of processing and low potato content actually made Pringlestechnically not potato chips. (For those wondering, they made this self-sabotaging argument to avoid taxes. 'Snacks' are recognized as necessary in the UK, and so they aren't taxed. Potato chips, on the other hand, are luxury food, and so they are taxed.) Instead of shaving bits off of a potato and deep frying them, the company starts with a slurry of rice, wheat, corn, and potato flakes and presses them into shape. So these potato chips aren't really potato at all. The snack-dough is then rolled out like a sheet of ultra-thin cookie dough and cut into chip-cookies by a machine. The cut is complete enough that the chips are fully free of the extra dough, which is lifted away from the chips by a machine. The chips move forward on a conveyor belt until they're pressed onto molds, which give them the curve that makes them fit into one another. Those molds move through boiling oil (I would have thought rat-lard, since anything that tastes that addictive has to be terrible for you, but it's probably just vegetable oil.), and fry for a few seconds. Then they're blown dry, sprayed with powdered flavors, and at last, flipped onto a slower-moving conveyor belt in a way that allows them to stack. From then on, it's into the cans (with usually a good inch of empty space at the top) and off towards the innocent mouths of the consumers. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 oh and although I eat Jaffa cakes like biscuits, they surely have to be very small, delicious biscuit-like cakes! Link to post Share on other sites
onsen tamago 0 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Anyone ever seen any egg-related flavors? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hmmm don't think so onsen tamago. Those Man Utd pringle-rips were quite good actually. Sour cream and onion is always good. Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I love that thick crinkly pizza flavor ones. No additives, I'm sure. What's with the bags though? Huge bag, open it up and there's 20 crisps in there! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 You do get lots of smelly air as well though, r45. Just be sure to catch it when you open up. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Recently I've been enjoying other kinds of snacks like senbe, crackers and that sort of thing. Some of them are brilliant, get some good local ones at Michi-no-Eki's. Wasabi flavor a bonus! Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 There is a strange mix crisps thingy in Seiyu. It's a mix of popcorn, corn chips and cheetos, but black pepper and something flavour. Very moorish and great with beer. Link to post Share on other sites
