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

YABVU.
Aldi Stackers are much nicer. Smile

I love the prawn cocktail Pringles 😋

Pringles are like the cat equivalent of Dreamies. Do anything for them (within reason) as they are so bloody addictive.

SausageDogSandwich · 10/04/2021 21:47

Me too but not recently. I shop online for this very reason.

Are the edges of your mouth sore?!

Feedingthebirds1 · 10/04/2021 21:47

I once ate a 1kg bag of cashews in two days. It comes close.

Last time I had a tube of sour cream Pringles, I ate the lot lying on the sofa watching telly. I challenged myself by seeing how many I could get in at once - sometimes stacks of five at at time. Eventually I went into a sort of Pringle-stupor and woke up with the empty tube by my side and crumbs all over my chest. I felt like a slob, but it was definitely worth it.

You've made me want some now, and I know for a fact there's a tube of BBQ ones in my cupboard.

clpsmum · 10/04/2021 21:48

Well done, proud of you 👏

ladygindiva · 10/04/2021 21:49

I've done a whole tube of pringles many a time. However yabu to have had the boring ones, next time I recommend you have sour cream or barbecue.

Dentistlakes · 10/04/2021 21:50

Pringles are so addictive. You aren’t alone in having eaten a whole tube at once! I simply can’t have them in the house at all, or I just eat the lot. Chalk it down to experience op. A one off really won’t make a huge difference.

5128gap · 10/04/2021 21:51

Many times OP. Though bbq flavour is my weakness. I like to eat about ten, put the lid back on, have a few haribo, take the lid off, eat another ten...and repeat, until both tube and packet are empty.

ChubbyLittleManInACampervan · 10/04/2021 21:52

Well, bully for you OP

I just snacked on 2 Brazil nuts, 10 raisins and a teaspoon of cottage cheese and I’m absolutely stuffed 😇😇😇

Oh wait, I just remember there is still a tub of Pringles in my Brexit store cupboard 🏎

Pebbledashery · 10/04/2021 21:53

I bought a tube of sour cream ones today as they are DDs favourite as a weekend treat.. Just put about 10 in a bowl and they were gone in less than 30 seconds 🤣.. Trying not to go back for me as I've also had a full dinner and I have no business having snacks after dinner!

Literallynoidea · 10/04/2021 21:53

So what? Just do some exercise tomorrow and sweat the Pringles off!

Dentistlakes · 10/04/2021 21:53

What do they put in them to make them so addictive? I lose all self control when eating them. I literally can’t stop until I’ve eaten the lot!

Thewolvesarerunningagain · 10/04/2021 21:53

It happens! Don't let it get to you. Tomorrow is another day and all that

MmeLaraque · 10/04/2021 21:54

Oh dear. I don't like chocolate or those neverbeennearaspudinitslife snacks. Muggins eats fruit. Or salad. 1600 cal a pack? Yikes. That's more than a day's calories. Walkies for you..

fairydustandpixies · 10/04/2021 21:56

I'm on the keto diet and have demolished a bag of sour cream crisps, a bag of chips and a vegetable chow mein takeaway but don't understand why I'm not losing weight anymore?? 🤔🤭

LoveFall · 10/04/2021 21:57

It's ok. We've all done similar I am sure. Just don't do it every day!

MiddleParking · 10/04/2021 21:58

I sometimes do things like this, and then feel exactly the same as you do for about a week afterwards OP. I’ve never quite worked out if it’s the eating or the feeling I should be trying to cut back on.

benorjerry · 10/04/2021 22:00

@vodkaredbullgirl

I'm half way through a 200 g bar of dairy milk Grin
Oh that makes me feel so much better, I've eaten a quarter of a Ritter Sport Peppermint bat, straight from the freezer.
Cottagepieandpeas · 10/04/2021 22:00

You are not the only person OP. I have done this on a number of occasions. Envy (Definitely not envy).

Wauden · 10/04/2021 22:02

I can't have bingey food like that in the house, for that reason. I did eat a whole pack of rice cakes with lentils and peas, which were v surprisingly moorish and paid for it with, um, a windy sequel.

Pebbledashery · 10/04/2021 22:02

The only yabu is you should've bought sour cream and not original.. Otherwise you did good😁

brushlaptop · 10/04/2021 22:03

Yum!!! I do that regularly

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm.

I hope you aren’t really disgusted or distressed, OP.
