Pringles in the packed lunch

[Pennecrayon]

This feels like an odd question but I wanted to ask here in case I am missing something. We have a few tubes of Pringles left over from Christmas and I've been putting a few in a Tupperware for DS's packed lunch. He's 7.

Last night, I got a WhatsApp from a parent who I don't know very well to ask me if I would stop putting Pringles in DS's packed lunch because it's making her son jealous. I was a bit taken aback and I didn't respond.

I think I'm entitled to put whatever I want in my DS's lunchbox (within the rules) and that's what I want to tell her. We're new to the school this year though so I don't want to upset anyone and cause dramas.

AIBU?

How on earth do you have pringles left unless there the sour cream ones lol. Me and my youngest (17) love them . Seriously though bot all to do with her what you put in your sons lunch box , this reminds me my tubs empty must put on the shopping list 🤣

I need texasbbq pringles now

Just a heads up. It’s well known among those who like to go out into nature and practice their survival skills, that Pringles make great firelighters. They catch fire and burn for longer because of their fat content.

You might want to rethink the ‘not going to harm her DC’ part. A third of the daily recommended fat intake for an adult (not a 7 year old) in just over a dozen Pringles. Higher than any other crisp (Although technically they’re not crisps) in salt, sugar and MSG and they contain trans fats. The potato content is dried and reconstituted and is bulked out with rice and wheat - potentially harmful if shared with a child who has wheat intolerance. My husbands’ heart nurse warned him off them when he told her of his fondness for them, as they are potentially harmful even in small quantities.

I’m window shopping for fake moustaches now…

Oh fgs he’s having the leftovers from Christmas not eating them daily he’ll be fine

I would msg her back and say you send some for her child in your child's packed lunch tomorrow, problem solved.

I don’t disagree with you, but the fact that a specialist heart nurse is so dead set against them should act as a warning to all the other posters out there who do eat them in any quantity on a regular basis. However much you want to deny it, they’re very unhealthy.

I think that people commenting on whether or not they are healthy are missing the point.

This was not why the mum messaged the OP.

Good grief. I did this tge first week back at school to use up the Christmas pringles. I'd just reply, "they're on offer on tesco if you fancy giving your chikd a treat,"

This 🤣🤣🤣🤣

She was shitting you, surely?

Any response to your message yet OP?

If it was my me, I’d find it very hard to not text her back and tell her to piss off!

What is a Rizla?

Chicken wrap as in chicken and salad stuff in a wrap, substitute for bread and Roll up as in a sticky, fruity, sugary junk food.

Hilarious
Ignore her, was she joking? If not, steer clear

I am wondering if she was joking and thinks she is engaging in some banter to be friendly? Only because it is otherwise so weird.

@Lovelysausagedogscrumpy it's Christmas leftovers, she's not going to donate them to a charity and nor should she is your analogy is correct as they appear to be akin to crack cocaine and found fall into the wrong hands.

*could

Send him in with one of these 🤣

One of those Dairylea Lunchables boxes every day, can you imagine how she’d cope with that 🤣

@SusanPerbCallMeSue 😂😂😂😂

🤣

I’d just say “I’m sorry little frogmella feels jealous but little Jonny really likes his Pringles in his lunch and I don’t feel I should deprive him because someone else is jealous. Where does it then stop? Jealousy is a natural emotion and is a fact of life”.
