14 and accept you'll be chewing for a while...but it seems to be a slower way to empty the tube!

If you have the ability to only grab some and close the lid I'd go for three. If it's a troughing exercise 2 at a time until you start to feel guilty.

2 normally

Or a load out the tube, then eat individually

There is something weirdly synthetic about them . . . what even are they? Has Greg Wallace been around the factory?

Why would anyone eat Pringles - chemical filled ultra processed pap - when potato crisps taste so good?

Reading this just now. Think I'll pass on the Pringles thanks.

Conflicted, not sure I want read that.

Love Pringles even though I know they’re wrong and probably worse than crack.

Maybe I should!

On the processed point; if you’re eating a tube weekly/daily then sure. Your health is going to suffer. <br /><br />

The odd packet hear or there; not really going to affect your health, is it!

Set one on fire and decide if it is something you want to eat...they seem to bubble and appear to dissolve...never a good sign for food.

I heard on the radio that the flavour is on the lower side only and so for maximum taste the lower side should face the tongue. May or may not be true, experimentation required.

5 at a time, with a plastic cheese slice quartered between them into a sandwich of joy.

Why would anyone eat Pringles

Surely one of the main reasons to eat Pringles is to empty the tubes so they are ready to use for water vole reintroductions.

None, they are utter crap. Give me a proper crisp any time.

Pah, I eat all sorts of processed food already. It's not like I'm eating a tube a day or week

How many at a time? 2, maybe 3 at a time. 4 feels like too much, 1 isn't enough

I love pringles and all the supermarket copies. Even the doritos stax version

They travel really well in a rucksack on a day out, total winner. Uncrushable, not many air gaps so good volume, and nice shape to pack

I don't since I found out I was diabetic 😳 but, two

(unless they're the vomit-scented ones, in which case none)

The boss just had half of Tesco delivered and I have just discovered that a 165g tube exists alongside the normal 185g...

IMG_20231223_175823863

Shrinkflation in action, Piss takers...

Plus no salt and vinegar (despite being my favourite flavour of crisp) yet I'm apparently insane for thinking 'sour cream and onion' tastes the same as 'cheese and onion'...

Paprika was most popular and has almost gone already...

Oh and in answer to the original question; one at a time to savour them, then move up to three when it becomes a race to consume the most calories, more than three is just a dry claggy mess in my gob...

I knew there would be sanctimonious people on the first page. Classic STW. As for the question, loads. To the point you risk cutting your lips. As an aside, an empty Pringles tin is lethal in the hands of a twenty odd year old FunkmasterP and friends after consuming copious amounts of Raki. The metal ring at the bottom really hurts when you’re fighting your friends with Pringle tin nunchucks. Proper skin splitting and bruising that you don’t feel until the next day when you sober up.

As many as possible, and then make a weed pipe out of the tube was my approach in my twenties.

The 'flavouring machine' had clearly failed when processing the one packet of Sour Cream and Oignon that I purchased. Instead of being Pringle coloured, the Pringles were green. Those Pringles were simultaneously the most amazing and disgusting food that I'd ever eaten.

I avoid them as much as possible after finding out what they actually are, even though I knew they weren't crisps or anything else naughty but nice!

Doesn't stop me hovering up a tube of Paprika though if I get presented one, and when I say hoover I mean handfuls in a conveyor belt style. I always feel bad and slightly nauseous afterwards but they really do taste amazeballs and are like crack cocaine.

They're just made from a fried dough containing potato and flour, plus flavourings etc. They're just as unhealthy as any fried snack. Yes, some of the ingredients are listed as chemicals, but that doesn't make them any worse than natural ingredients that contain the same chemicals - all food is made up of chemicals, after all. I do prefer proper potato crisps, but Pringles are a good snack. Just like any fried snack, eating them in moderation on occasion is not a problem.

Exactly, too much of anything will harm or kill you, including Dihydrogen monoxide.

I've hardly touched them since their minimalist redesign, because I have minimalist redesigns. Poor Mr. Pringle's lost all his joy.

Anyway. Start with one at a time, double up very soon after, and sooner or later settle on three to five at a time.

I've not had any for ages but my mate, who is a very, very fast ultra cyclist (won GBDuro type fast) rates them as amazing on the bike carb fuel. Easy to eat, salty and because they're basically made of dust very easy to digest and absorb energy from.

Small tub in your top tube bag if you're that sort of person will sort you right out.

If you run out of firelighters they're good for getting a fire going.

Best thing about Pringles is the uniformity. Any other crisp eating experience is a form of chaos, but with pringles you can measure the exact cadence. Personally I go one at a time at regular intervals, then increase to 2 or 3 for the crescendo at the bottom of the pack.

They are the dietary equivalent to crack though. I don't eat them now. I'm in recovery.

Treat yourself to some proper crisps instead.

I used the tubes as rocket launchers (500ml bottles of air and hydrogen). Good to see the unthinking that they could get a bigger bang by putting in extra hydrogen.

Taking inspiration from Noah - I think the two by two loading method works best.

Annoyingly they are banned in my house. Apparently the inside of the tube is coated in toxic death chemicals of death. 

Really like the paprika ones.... 🙁

Pringles, about 4, with a big dollop of ice cold Philadelphia on top.
