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.

@Noshowlomo

Paprika ones.... 😍
The best!!

I can and usually do eat a whole bag of salt and vinegar pop chips
Share bags of sweets are never for sharing, again i eat a whole bag.

I can't relate with pointless because they all make me feel sick for some reason, M&S tortilla chips or doritos I can eat a full family bag in one go. Especially if I'm having a few drinks with it!

Suzi888 · 12/04/2021 14:21

Yum! Lucky you! Grin

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 12/04/2021 14:21

Pringles, not pointless

Cushionsnotpillows · 12/04/2021 14:22

This thread has been a revelation. I never knew some people didn't eat the whole tube in one sitting GrinGrinGrin

JesusIsAnyNameFree · 12/04/2021 14:22

Oh, we all have snaccidents. It feels upsetting when it happens but in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal and it really won't make much of a difference to your size or health. It only starts becoming an issue if it happens regularly!

Tal45 · 12/04/2021 14:23

Houmous is made from chickpeas so that's all good right? Just remember next time and buy bread sticks or something else not nearly as addictive as Pringles even if they're giving them away for free :-D.

TopTabby · 12/04/2021 14:24

I'll take the Pringles & raise you a big bag of sour cream Kettle Chips.
I was honestly going to have few each day & a big bag would last ages....didn't work out that way!
Absolutely delicious 😋

MrsTophamHat · 12/04/2021 14:27

Pringles are fatal! I really have to avoid them. Prawn cocktail is my flavour of choice.

topcat2014 · 12/04/2021 14:34

I've eaten 3 yorkies today that came with an Easter egg. I feel your pain, OP

Once you pop you cannot stop... or something. Anyway, eating pringles is actually a good way to see if you need to lose weight. If you can get your hand in the tube to get them out then you have nothing to worry about Grin

I saw DM for the first time in 9 months last week, and she greeted me with “I’ve just eaten 6 cream eggs”.

MSG is crackish

SofiaMichelle · 12/04/2021 15:16

@SofiaMichelle

YANBU.

But I can't help wondering how many calories a full tube of Pringles and a pot of houmous is?

Somewhere approaching a trillion, maybe?

Grin

I obviously didn't read the OP, did I?!

You'd already said it was ~1,600 calories!

Oh well, don't beat yourself up, OP.

It could have been worse - you could have followed it up with a bacon sandwich chaser.

I bought two boxes of Frubes the other day. Ended up eating all 18 of them in the car on the way home. I was appalled with myself Blush I've been absolutely craving yogurt/fromage frais recently.

Blueskytoday06 · 12/04/2021 15:32

Once you pop....you can't stop 😁

DrSbaitso · 12/04/2021 15:43

I'm usually of the "everything in moderation (including moderation itself)" school of thought, but Pringles are a hard ban. Never, not ever. Because the barbecue, sour cream and chive and paprika ones are like fucking crack. I could easily trough an entire tube in one sitting. I absolutely cannot have just a few.

Mulletsaremisunderstood · 12/04/2021 16:42

OP, where did you get 1600 calories from? I just checked my tubs of salt & vinegar and sour cream and they both say 1072 calories for the whole tub (200gm).

So at least that's something positive Grin

PurpleDaisies · 12/04/2021 16:44

I’ve started buying the small tubes which are crap value for money but don’t make me feel like shot after eating a full tube.

Wizzbangfizz · 12/04/2021 16:48

Hummus is very calorific - no idea why is it's promoted as a diet food!

I could make your hair curl with some of my food binges OP I can be very greedy which is why I am fat!

Songsofexperience · 12/04/2021 16:49

My vice is guac. I would eat the tube with guac instead of humous. Yum.Grin

WellLarDeDar · 12/04/2021 19:53

I've done this before and felt really really sick afterwards. The day after I barely ate anything to compensate! Such anxiety! Stop buying pringles! Or only buy them when there's someone around to share with.
