Not another can! Not one! (Pringles)

Posted on 08/09/2005 4:35:54 PM PDT by ConservativeMan55

I was completely shocked this afternoon while eating my lunch. I took a few chips out of the pringles can...and then did a double take! No it couldn't be?

Pringles has begun adding alternative spanish ingredients and weight on the front of the can. You can take a look at it yourself.

Pringles Can

If you go to
pringles.com you will first see a map of the world. Intending to portray an international feeling.

I believe this is the doing of Procter and Gamble. The ultra liberal company. Procter and Gamble also make Pampers, Tide, Arial, Always, Whisper, Pantene, Bounty, Pringles, Folgers, Millstone, Charmin, Downy, Lenor, Iams, Crest, Actonel, Head and Shoulders, Olay, Clarol Nice N Easy, and more.

If you would like to make your feelings clear about the new labels..please write to...

I started digging deeper to see if I could find more about Procter and Gamble.

Here is a phone number to go with the address above.

513-983-1100

Main Page of Procter and Gamble.

The Family Research Council at one time supported a boycott of Procter and Gamble because of their support for Homosexual groups and activism.

Here is a letter I found.
Procter and Gamble Cleans Up Its Act.

Pro-family groups have called off a boycott of goods produced by Procter & Gamble. Nearly 400,000 citizens had pledged to boycott P&G because of their support for homosexual activism. Those monitoring the company's practices have concluded that it has now ended its sponsorship of offensive TV programs and homosexual websites. An executive who promoted the homosexual agenda within the company, and who was given a leave of absence to work for pro-homosexual special rights legislation in Cincinnati, is no longer working for P&G. This victory shows the power that pro-family citizens have when they vote with their dollars against supporting corporate homosexual activism. Thank you, P&G, for listening to your customers' concerns.

They listened once..perhaps they will listen again.



Below information is optional. Perhaps somebody will find some liberal connections in it. Procter & Gamble

Remember, we don't don't have an official language. The closest we came was when German was defeated by a very narrow margin near the close of the 18th century.

Not exactly.

I am not too certain of what you are upset about. I live in Taiwan, eat Pringles - we have a wide assortment of Pringle flavors here - and all of the cans are printed in Chinese with some english wording on the labels also. So far, no Taiwanese have filed a complaint.

Do your Pringles taste bad?

Some things are worth boycotting. Others are not. More power to you if you can follow every boycott ever listed on FR.

Some I try to go along with. This one is silly.

I suggest you never go to Europe. The Pringles cans there have such a multitude of ingredient lists that you have to look for the little picture of the flag of your nation in order to find the language you read.

(Psst. We English speakers would need to look for the Union Jack.)
