Just ate a whole tube of Pringles. Very distressed.

Please make me feel better.

Pringles are bloody half price everywhere and I picked up a tube in the shop just now. Crunched my way through an entire tube of Original flavour, with a pot of houmous alongside for dipping. Kept putting the lid back on, then absent mindedly returning for more. Then the tube was empty, and so was the houmous pot. That’s like 1600 calories in about 30 mins.

I feel so disgusted with myself. Please tell me I’m not the only person to have done this.
Sad

Well, the slogan is (or used to be) 'once you pop you can't stop' !

Deep breath
Draw a line
Move on

Grin Crikey, you must have worked up quite a thirst there, OP!

I'm half way through a 200 g bar of dairy milk Grin

And I've just eaten a whole large Easter egg. After a takeaway curry Blush

It’s not worth the shame or punishing yourself. You just ate some delicious food, that’s the end of it.

Jumpers268 · 10/04/2021 21:04

Oh the sour cream pringles. I could eat through the whole thing easy. Oh how I wish I had some.

Lalliella · 10/04/2021 21:04

Ah they’re so more-ish! My friend’s husband opened a tube when she was out, ate most of them then felt he had to finish them to hide the evidence from her Grin

YABU if they had been any other flavour than plain though!

I sometimes eat a whole chocolate orange in one go though Blush

TulipsHyacinths · 10/04/2021 21:04

Good point @eatsleepread, I’m drinking a big glass of water now!

Once your hand gets stuck halfway down is the time to stop. Or tip outing a bowl a d crack on.

You must be thirsty now.

Justfivemoreminutesplease · 10/04/2021 21:05

Oh well done - and I bet every mouthful was bloody delicious Grin

BigPyjamas · 10/04/2021 21:06

God, I adore Pringles. Can't buy them as I also eat the entire tube. Just. Can't. Stop.

Bluey18 · 10/04/2021 21:06

You're being very judgemental about a perfectly valid life choice OP

returns to tin of original Pringles

daisiesinmay · 10/04/2021 21:07

Humous has got health benefits though OP

Allmyfavouritepeople · 10/04/2021 21:07

I ended up with really sore lips the last time I did that. Put me off pringles for good. Drink loads of water and get some lip balm on!

FunnyWonder · 10/04/2021 21:08

I ate a family sized bag of Doritos with salsa dip a while back. I felt very guilty and a bit sick. But I'm pretty sure I would do it again!

Try not to feel bad. Lots of us do stuff like that. As long as it isn't every day and, judging by how bad you feel, I'm guessing it isn't.

pastabest · 10/04/2021 21:08

From experience I highly recommend Morrison's red pepper chilli and garlic dip with a Pringle binge....

TulipsHyacinths · 10/04/2021 21:08

Haha @Bluey18 yes, but i’d naively thought I’d make them last all week! My innocence earlier in the day when I bought them...

Oh who cares. Go get another tube and a bottle of wine to wash it down with.

PoutineQueen · 10/04/2021 21:09

If anyone fancies a Pringles eating competition I reckon I could do 3-4 tubes.

Whatup · 10/04/2021 21:09

Now I really want nachos

blowinahoolie · 10/04/2021 21:09

Haven't eaten these since Christmas before my fat fighting journey began.

HairyPits · 10/04/2021 21:10

This is why I never buy them - always eat the whole thing! Ditto big bags of walkers sensations and those M&S crisps that are all different shapes.......

rjacksmiss · 10/04/2021 21:10

@TulipsHyacinths

Haha *@Bluey18* yes, but i’d naively thought I’d make them last all week! My innocence earlier in the day when I bought them...
There is no real difference to eating them all in one sitting than spreading it out over the week! It's the same amount of calories! :) Just take it easy on the snacks over the next week and you'll end up finishing your week on exactly the same!

I've just eaten three crunchies in a row if that helps !!Confused
