I’d have chucked them in the boot

LizzieSiddal · 10/08/2026 19:22

No I wouldn’t dare open that packet because whilst I absolutely LOVE the taste of them, I always get a very bad stomach ache afterwards. (This obviously has nothing to do with the fact I can polish off about 3/4 of a pack in one sitting)

I hope you enjoyed them OP.

I'd have waited in the car park for several hours asking every shopper to check if they 'had anything missing'. If no joy I'd have gone into the store and asked to see their CCTV. If still no luck, I'd have handed them in to the police. After a fortnight I'd follow up to see if they'd been claimed and if not I'd collect them and donate to the local foodbank.
Anything less is theft. Pure and simple.

I trust you are joking ?

Have you never SEEN a horror film, OP??

When something rolls enticingly into view without any apparent cause it is ALWAYS a malign temptation from a restless ghost. Probably a Victorian child but, in any case, certainly an entity that you will be shackled to through all sorts of terrors if you do not RESIST.

Was the supermarket car park built on a burial ground? Almost certainly the answer is yes. In any case, DO NOT EAT THE PRINGLES. If you do, you will be doomed all the way to deepest hell. That's what the advert means when it says 'Once you pop you just can't stop.'

Oh this made me laugh a lot! It's too late for me (and my husband, who was the ringleader in the eating the pringles decision) will update on any future ghostly activity!

No, they're nasty reconstituted things that leave an unpleasant aftertaste, I'd rather eat proper crisps.

I once ate some (sealed packaging, still cold) steak I found on the floor of a bus. It was under the chair in front, only one person around so asked if it was hers or did she want it. She missed out on a blinder of a dinner, I ate both steaks that night to be sure they were safe. So no, I’d have no problem with sealed floor Pringles!

Gowlett · 10/08/2026 16:39

I’d eat them. The gods were smiling on you!

Howmanycatsistoomany · 10/08/2026 16:25

Yeah, they've messed with the flavour of the sour cream ones and I don't like the new flavour so I'd have left them in the car park for someone else to snag.

Show quote history

Even the salted ones are horrible now! Pringles used to be one of our favourite snacks, but they really are gross now! I don't know why companies think they need to 'improve' on stuff that's already popular! Makes no sense to me.

LauderSyme · 10/08/2026 16:36

There have long been two separate flavours of sour cream and chive / sour cream and onion, but you don't often find the latter for sale, cos they are definitely not as good as the former.

Whichever flavour, I would have snaffled them and eaten them all up. Yeah I'm cheap.

Boiledbeetle · 10/08/2026 16:34

Craftyrose · 10/08/2026 16:27

In a shocking revelation, we realised that they are actually sour cream and ONION not chives as I thought! Has this always been the case or have they changed flavour??

The internet says only the UK had chives. It appears we've been brought into line with everywhere else.

What's bonkers is that you didn't read the post I was replying to, which had nothing to do with Pringles...

We were in a supermarket car park today and as we got back to the car a Pringle packer rolled down the pavement. We picked it up to save it rolling across the car park creating litter. We realised it was a brand new, in date, completely sealed pack. We looked around but no one was looking for them. Would you have eaten them??

Gengha · 10/08/2026 16:28

SandwichSuperstar · 10/08/2026 14:39

You didn't hand it into the shop, knowing that's the first place they'd look?

I wouldn't eat them because I think Pringles are horrible nowadays! Now, if it had been an opened box of Ferrero Rocher, it'd be another matter altogether!

Sour cream and chive you say <mumbles with mouth full of found Pringles>

AllaMova · 10/08/2026 16:14

Of course, you should put up posters stating that you have found the tube of Pringles first, then you could circulate it over social media. If no-one comes forward, then you can eat the Pringles. 🙂

Enjoy them, OP!

You forgot to call 101 , and maybe pop it on the local facebook page!

Show quote history

I couldn't have called 101. You're forgetting I'd picked them up off the ground. I'm assuming in the heat of the moment I'd done this without protective gloves, so obviously wouldn't be able to touch my phone afterwards. The local FB page is a possibility. But how would I be sure the rightful owner claimed them? I wouldn't want to be complicit in a deception.

Still not on really that you took someone else's lost food and ate it just because you were skint.

They could've been far more skint.

Or if you'd left it alone, they could've come back a few minutes later.

Would I be unreasonable to eat the pringles?
