Don’t care. And neither should you.
Sitting here freeping (trying to read one big pargraph) and eating my Pizza Flavored Pringles... Nom Nom Nom Nom.... Tassstttyyyyy
Suit yourself. You’ve been warned.
“Does anyone else stack up 2 or 3 chips at the same time when eating them?”
Always! I find that 2 chips is almost perfect while 3 chips is too much. If I could get 2.25 chips I think it would be perfect!
I wasn’t kidding - you wouldn’t have Pringles without my chemical engineer husband’s process to make them all the same shape.
Oh, good grief! What next? I’m certain that almost any food can cause cancer in some form of animal if you load them with toxic doses long enough! I am not a fan of Pringles, as they cause my mouth to break out in sores, for some reason, but millions of people eat them with no consequences at all. Potato chips have been around for ages...I mean AGES! It seems they go down the list looking for foods to vilify to make them feel they are doing a public service!
Great......I was just snacking on some sour cream & onion Pringles.
Bwahaha!
Pringles are potato chips? Who knew!
“By the way, this sounds like a press release from those whackos at, “Center for Science in the Public Interest”. “
Or a rival potato chip manufacturer.
“Pringles tastes like heavily-salted cardboard to me.
They suck. They’ve always sucked. They always will suck.”
Ditto.

Pringles are potato chips? Who knew!
“Researchers find that potato chips, among other processed foods, are loaded with the cancer causing chemical. . ..”
When i saw that word, “loaded,” I knew it was time to go and read something else.
I remember looking at this at least 6 years ago and came up with the same culprits - lefty whack jobs trying to crush their political enemies - big businesses that don't play by lefty extortion rules. Primary culprit, Democrat Bill Lockyer, California Attorney General.
(see THIS LINK for an old rehash of his machinations.)
Here's an excerpt from that page...
There are five major studies that have looked at the cancer risks from acrylamide in food. Four of these studies were done by Lorelei Mucci of Harvard. In her first study published in 2003 Mucci looked at dietary acrylamide and cancer of the large bowel, kidney and bladder and found no association between acrylamide and these cancers.
Similar results were found in a 2004 study by Mucci and others which looked for an association between acrylamide and the risk of renal cell cancer and which again found no link. In March, 2005 Mucci published a prospective study which examined whether there was a link between acrylamide and breast cancer. Once again there was no increased risk even for those subjects who ate the highest amounts of foods with acrylamide.
Finally, in July 2005, Mucci published another prospective study which looked at acrylamide and the risk of colorectal cancer and found that the "intake of specific food items with elevated acrylamide (e.g. coffee, crisp bread and fired potato products) was not associated with cancer risk."
Another study by Claudio Pelucchi of Milan in 2003 looked at acrylamide food intake and cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx, esophagus, larynx, large bowel, colon, rectum, breast and ovary and found no evidence of an association. In short, the scientific evidence about the cancer risks from dietary acrylamide all suggests that there is no association between foods that contain acrylamide and increased cancer risk.
Once again, scaremongering in the guise of science. The scare counts on the similarity between "acrylamide" and "Acrylic" to make you immediately think you're eating plastic.
I love Pringles, but MUNCHOS are much better.
Who in their right mind would eat Pringles?
