One of life's greatest mysteries
 

How do you get the last few good Pringles out of the bottom of the can without dumping the broken crumbs all over yourself?

Pour them into your mouth.

Hey, Rich Uncle Pennybags, if you can afford the luxury of Pringles why don't you just leave them and just open a new can?



Sorry.. I just found it necessary to use Rich Uncle Pennybags in some conversation today. :D

I'm always here for you, Mustang.

Don't eat like Cookie Monster?

At present I employ the Pringles equivalent of the "clean and jerk." I hold the can almost parallel to the floor, put my hand over the mouth, and then jerk it (the can) forward and then quickly back, so that the bigger pieces are propelled toward the open end and the crumbs are mostly left in the bottom.

It isn't perfect, but it's the best I got.

Pringles are one of the more strange foods in life.

I always love the hell out of them while I am eating them, but then feel completely disgusted afterwards.

Visually and descriptively.. this is sooooo wrong.

I always use the plastic cover to catch the crumbs when I turn the can slowly upside down. If that works for me, it should work for everybody with a total lack of motorial skills (did I just look 'motorial' up in the dictionairy? :D)

Pour them onto a paper towel?

By far one of the strangest foods I've ever tasted were the Spicy Cajun Pringles. I loved the BBQ ones in the maroon container but the 7-11 was out of those one night, so I picked up the Cajuns instead.

It was like the Tomacos from the Simpsons. They were horrible but I couldn't stop eating them. Afterwards I felt like the outside of one of those Microwavable Taquitos, keeping a cover on something and you don't really want to find out what.

I'll stop sharing now.

Part of the charm IS getting them all over you.

One of the few instances where small hands are a benefit. I can fit mine all the way in to get the last ones at the bottom.

Tilt the can a little downward and jiggle it until the last chips slide down.

Rip the can open you pansy.

That is, unless you like to cut the circle out of the other end and pretend you're a pirate and use it for your telescope.

Sorry but Pringles will always be a poor mans Dorito's to me .... (and Dorito's don't have this problem ;) ) ...

Hmmm Hot Chilli Dorito's ... must resist, trying to diet ;)

If you tear it open, you won't be able to put the lid back on, squeeze the tube and send the lid flying with a corresponding *whoomp* noise...

ARRRRR....

Does anyone else take two Pringles, place their edges together, and make a duck beak whevenver they have Pringles?

Kodos, you are a sick, sick alien.

if evolution was true, we'd have all developed a single long finger with a sticky pad at the end to reach those last pringles by now.

I have done that.

If religion were true, then Moses would part the can for us to easily get at the Pringles.

If there were Maximum Pringles, we could make a fully customizable can and wouldn't even have this problem.

You could just teleport those pringles right into your mouth.

It would be my luck the teleport would miss my mouth, and I would get crumbs in my brain.

Would it really matter?

You know what they say about guys with small hands...









small gloves... ;)

Put the cover back on, tilt it upside down, then hold the can sideways. Both the crumbs and the chips should then be by the top of the container. Tilt the can slightly upright so that the small crumbs fall back to the bottom. Reopen the container and pull the remaining chips out.
