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.

Mmmm lovely Pringles...I had to stop buying Pringles for that reason. I've since found Aldi's gourmet crackers but i may have to stop buying those too 😬

NFLwidow · 10/04/2021 22:05

The new peri peri chicken Pringles are banging! Weekend calories don’t count in my world. Don’t sweat it.

“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 think I’ve just fallen in love with you @rjacksmiss

SallySycamore · 10/04/2021 22:07

I think most people have the odd snaccident OP! (Cheese puffs are the ones I've done it with before.)

Don't worry about it, just don't go and buy another tube and do the same tomorrow. Easter Grin

I’ve just had half a bar of blueberry dairy milk. It’s bloody delicious. We’ve had fish and chips for tea tonight. I was stuffed but started craving something sweet. I’m drinking wine too Blush

Barneythedinosaur · 10/04/2021 22:11

I'm currently eating my way through a share bag of chicken and thyme sensations. I've very nearly finished the bag, and have every intention of doing so haha.
I balance it with eating well the rest of the time. 80/20. Always time to treat yourself, it's a good thing.

@BigPyjamas

God, I adore Pringles. Can't buy them as I also eat the entire tube. Just. Can't. Stop.
Snap.
afaloren · 10/04/2021 22:12

They’re just Pringles love. They have no moral value. They’re just crisps.

Bimblybomeyelash · 10/04/2021 22:16

Your mistake was reading the label
To see how
Many calories you consumed.

ikeepseeingit · 10/04/2021 22:17

Oh don't worry about it! The odd bit of overindulgence won't kill you :) Eat well for the rest of the week and feel absolutely no guilt about your pringle-gate situation. In fact, if you resolve to not eat crisps for the rest of the week then you've pretty much canceled out any negative crisp effects the pringles might have had on you anyway 🤣 We've all done it in some form or another OP, try not to beat yourself up.

Minniem2020 · 10/04/2021 22:17

I've had to stop buying the salt and pepper pringles. Me and dp were fighting over who could eat them the fastest

Blueberry dairy milk! Is that new, I’ve never seen it? It sounds delicious!
MumofSpud · 10/04/2021 22:20

What! Do people actually only eat half a tube of Pringles!!

me4real · 10/04/2021 22:21

@TulipsHyacinths YANBU I do all sorts of things at times. Tomorrow is another day. x

I decided today that I'm not going to buy multipacks or raw ingredients for anything calorific. And not keep anything calorific in.

For instance, buy a salmon bagel rather than the raw ingredients which make 5 bagels but I invariably eat within a day or so.

It'll actually work out cheaper, or not much more expensive, and much less fattening.

me4real · 10/04/2021 22:25

If you have a pringles craving, you could get one or two of the little pots. 40g = 206 calories.

GrumpyTerrier · 10/04/2021 22:28

I have this problem with big packets of Sensations Sweet Chilli. It's too easy to scoff the lot. I did it yesterday.

Whattheduck · 10/04/2021 22:28

I’ve had a takeaway curry washed down with a bottle of wine and now I’m munching my way through a lindor easter egg

Catswithflamingos · 10/04/2021 22:32

The only issue I see is that it wasn’t even a good flavour!

Longdistance · 10/04/2021 22:34

It must be. My best friend bought it for me for Easter. I think they’re testing flavours. It’s very nice.

Just ate a whole tube of Pringles. Very distressed.
ANewDawnANewDay · 10/04/2021 22:37

I opened the thread thinking - how satisfying Smile
It's not disgusting - at least you got 1 of your 5 a day with the hummus.

JudgeJ · 10/04/2021 22:37

@vodkaredbullgirl

I've got a tube at the back of the cupboard, I forgot I got them for xmas last year.
I love surprise finds like that! I once found an unopened tasting box from Hotel Chocolat, back when they did those very cheap.
MythsandSparkles · 10/04/2021 22:39

@masterofthechef

just ate a multipack of Scampi Fries and Bacon Fries - 3 packs of each washed down with a whole bottle of Rosé.
You might actually be my hero Grin

Well shock horror I had hot dog’s earlier and ice cream so what that makes me I don’t know. It’s Saturday night in fact Friday and Saturday night treats all round.
