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

Amateur. I've just eaten a whole coffee cake.

mooonstone · 10/04/2021 21:11

Oh wow - that was fast! No judgment here, I have done the same with a tub of Ben and Jerry’s in the past.

Do you really think you’re the only person to have ever done this?

Why is it such a big deal for you? Is it not a one-off?

CeeJay81 · 10/04/2021 21:14

That's why we don't buy them very often lol but as they were on offer I got 2 tubs yesterday morning. They've all gone 😯. There are 4 of us but I think the 2 kids have had most of them 🙈, I think I had about 5 😥

ElderMillennial · 10/04/2021 21:15

I've eaten the best part of a large pack of crispy m&ms and now I'm eating a few Kinder Chocobons and when I say a few I mean the whole pack

Lalanbaba · 10/04/2021 21:15

You ate it, you obviously enjoyed it. That's it. Move on.
I ate half a bag of crisps and an ice-cream afterwards. Who cares

OHthatbanana · 10/04/2021 21:17

I disagree with everyone.

Jeezus, YABVVVVU!!

Shocking and disgusting...

...Plain pringles are the WORST ones, get some sour cream or salt and vinegar, bbq at a push, right now, eat the whole can and hope that it washes away your sins!

Original flavour, blergh! cries due to lack of pringles in the house

littlepattilou · 10/04/2021 21:17

Most of us have been there @TulipsHyacinths

I have consumed an entire (LARGE) box of maltesers to myself before now - 310 gm. A third of a kilo...

To put it in perspective, a normal sized bag is 37 gm. So I ate virtually EIGHT bags at once.

Felt sick after, but hell it was worth it! Smile

CoRhona · 10/04/2021 21:17

Look on the bright side...you can't eat any more Wink

Icancelledthecheque · 10/04/2021 21:18

Nah, you’re fine. I’ve done this loads, and I’m a size 10. Sometimes I end up skipping dinner.

Unfortunately my Pringles are salt and vinegar so I usually spend a few days without mouth or lip skin afterwards. Never seems to deter me though Hmm

vodkaredbullgirl · 10/04/2021 21:18

I've got a tube at the back of the cupboard, I forgot I got them for xmas last year.

Quaagars · 10/04/2021 21:20

Don't entirely know how to take this OP?!
I'm hoping you're not really very distressed at eating a whole tube of Pringles?

Perdita40 · 10/04/2021 21:21

YANBU easily done OP.

I have found myself in this predicament more times than I care to remember. Forgive yourself & move on, life is too short x

SortingItOut · 10/04/2021 21:22

This is why I am so pleased I cant eat Pringles anymore🤣

Earlier today I ate a whole largish Galaxy easter egg, it made me feel so sick I had to lay down.....will I learn? Will I heck🤣

Curlygirl06 · 10/04/2021 21:23

If you scoop clotted cream out on shortbread biscuits, you can eat a lot of biscuits whilst eating a whole tub of cream. (So I've heard!)

allofthecheese · 10/04/2021 21:23

What flavour?! Grin easily done... they are super addictive.

stayathomer · 10/04/2021 21:24

Have done it, and it's the worst thing ever for the icky after feeling. Have a piece of fruit and later brush your teeth and tomorrow's a new day. Honestly we've all been there! And forget the calories, just concentrate on tomorrow you'll have a healthy day.

FudgeFlake · 10/04/2021 21:25

I know my dogs need about two hours walking every day. However, that's 'ABOUT'. So if it's blowing a hooley with added sleet or hail or anything else vile that british weather can throw at us, walkies will be just as long as it takes to evacuate the bowels, pick the detritus up and put it in a bin, and then home for snuggles. We'll do a much bigger walk the very next day that isn't horrible to make up for it. I think the same rules apply for diets. Particularly Pringles, which are quite amazingly lovely and delicious and are making me think of belting over to the late night supermarket in case this special offer which has been mentioned might be running there!

Chillychangchoo · 10/04/2021 21:27

Done this more times than I care to remember.

RizzleRazzle · 10/04/2021 21:27

If I have Pringles I have a whole tube to myself 😁 once you pop you can't stop!

jessstan2 · 10/04/2021 21:28

You are not the only person to have done that.

I won't hurt you as a one off. We all need to treat ourselves sometimes. I had a lovely Aberdeen Angus burger from Burger King earlier, with chips. Yum, hic, burp.

masterofthechef · 10/04/2021 21:30

just ate a multipack of Scampi Fries and Bacon Fries - 3 packs of each washed down with a whole bottle of Rosé.
