Would I be unreasonable to eat the pringles?

[Craftyrose]

We were in a supermarket car park today and as we got back to the car a Pringle packer rolled down the pavement.
We picked it up to save it rolling across the car park creating litter. We realised it was a brand new, in date, completely sealed pack. We looked around but no one was looking for them. Would you have eaten them??

Update - Pringles have been eaten!

Now you can do this.

Have you never SEEN a horror film, OP??

When something rolls enticingly into view without any apparent cause it is ALWAYS a malign temptation from a restless ghost. Probably a Victorian child but, in any case, certainly an entity that you will be shackled to through all sorts of terrors if you do not RESIST.

Was the supermarket car park built on a burial ground? Almost certainly the answer is yes. In any case, DO NOT EAT THE PRINGLES. If you do, you will be doomed all the way to deepest hell. That's what the advert means when it says 'Once you pop you just can't stop.'

No, they're nasty reconstituted things that leave an unpleasant aftertaste, I'd rather eat proper crisps.

Oh this made me laugh a lot! It's too late for me (and my husband, who was the ringleader in the eating the pringles decision) will update on any future ghostly activity!

I trust you are joking ?

No I wouldn’t dare open that packet because whilst I absolutely LOVE the taste of them, I always get a very bad stomach ache afterwards. (This obviously has nothing to do with the fact I can polish off about 3/4 of a pack in one sitting)

I hope you enjoyed them OP.

I’d have chucked them in the boot

What a palava😂

🤣

The OP still seems to be alive despite eating them

It is indeed. My apologies. I think I was giddy at the notion someone was getting free Pringles.

Alive and well!

Yes

Yes but now you pop and the tube is half empty already. The shrinkflation on Pringles is a national catastrophe. And they no longer dip properly! Break too easily.

I agree, start a petition?

What does OCD have to do with it?

OCD causes the sufferer to have irrational thoughts that they find incredibly distressing. Like someone may have deliberately tampered with the Pringles to harm others.

Agreed. Before I came on mumsnet I had no concept that people just took things others had lost and kept them (unless they literally happened to be thieves at the same time) I just can't imagine doing that.

But she's got 3 kids and was broke so it's ok

Obvs of course. It would make Parliament in days. National support for restoring proper tube levels.

Or you could have just left it there for when the person realised they were missing a bag?

Wasn’t relevant to what the poster asked, though.

I'd have left them to a genuine destitute person.

Why not? The ocd would mean she wouldn’t eat them

I was in the freezer aisle when some almond magnums just leapt up and randomly assaulted me. WIBU to buy them amd eat them?
