GET A LIFE! Gilette gives info in English, French and Spanish on my razor blades (I know because I just bought some five minutes ago). What's wrong with playing to different linguistic groups to expand your market.
Boycott boycotts. This one in particular is really stupid. Sorry.

This was the first can of pringles we had bought in a long time. It will be the last.

What exactly is wrong with listing ingredients in Spanish?

I got a flashlight today with instructions in French, Spanish, Japanese and English.
Not another flashlight, not one!
Just eat your chips and pick your fights wisely.

Save the ink. This is just smart marketing.

Oh, big freakin' deal. I just bought a new Whirlpool washing machine, and it came with instructions in English and French. Should I take it back?

Where is the 'not this shit again' graphic when you need it? It's pure marketing, not a political statement. This help P&G sell not only to multi lingual people in the US but also in other countries. (one package to create.)
As for the boycott.. well, I cannot think of a company that people haven't called for a boycott on at one time for another..
Save your energy for real issues.

Not going to happen. Besides, drivers licenses are provided by the state. This is a private company playing to its market base. You should be devoting your energies to more important tasks than bilingualism on a can of friggin potato chips.
And you wonder why some folks don't take cultural conservatism seriously.

I guess you don't believe in any type of slippery slope.

You won't think its so stupid when you have to retake your drivers test in French. I thought your complaint was about Spanish on a Pringles can. What does that have to do with French on a driving test?
To: ConservativeMan55
I think you'll have a hard time finding anything exclusively in English.
Bought a new VCR some years ago...the instructions were in English...well sorta. Actually, they had been written in Japanese and then TRANSLATED into English. However, some things became lost in the translation. One instruction said something like, install tubing into port wisely. Huh?

Try Atlanta. They are attempting to pass a law that would make you take tests in different langauages.

I'm still appalled that the Moen kitchen faucet we recently installed had no words of instruction in any language - just pictures!!!
