Would I be unreasonable to eat the pringles?

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??

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

Foe either someone else to take or to go bad?

I once saw a car drive off leaving a whole shopping bag on the ground. I shouted and
Tried to go after them, but they drove off.
i had a lovely roast dinner that night and thanked them for it. Was properly skint st the time so was a great blessing.

Anytime I do something stupid like this, dropped and lost money etc and can't get it back this is what I hope happened to it. The universe sent it where it was needed. It comforts me as someone who has been horribly skint at times

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

‘Would you eat these pringels’

’no’

let’s leave out the bit where I mentioned OCD since you don’t deem it relevant.

Happy now?

You have my deepest sympathy, it must be hard work for you policing the internet.

Well you can't get it back because someone like the PP took it for themselves. I'm surprised you're happy for it to go to someone like that.

I dunno, different when I was in dire straits but when I'm comfortable I tell myself it's ok, it's gone somewhere it's needed more.
