I don't have a problem with them listing the stuff in Spanish.

Heck, I'd probably try to read it just to expand (by however small an amount) my exceedingly limited knowledge of Spanish. But then I'm the kind of person who, when I see multilingual signs, tries to figure what corresponds to what -- drawing on my English, Scots Gaelic, German, Latin and Spanish (in that declining order, and #2 is rarely any help much beyond Irish). The best I've managed yet is over 50+% comprehension of Norwegian airline magazines. The worst is 0.0001% in Chinese (I can spot "Beijing" and "Chongkuo"). *\;-)

But that's just me. If it offends you, do register a complaint.

You think that's bad one day my TV was speaking nothing but Spanish. Then I realized I was tuned to the Spanish station. Funny thing was that the shows made more sense.

What are Pringles?

Let's see. Pringles is marketed in Spanish-speaking communities in North America and elsewhere. To save money on packaging, they have placed English and Spanish language information on the can.

No different from English and French language information being on the containers of some consumer goods that are sold in parts of Canada as well as the United States.

Your/Our tax dollars are not paying for this; plus it helps reduce packaging costs for the manufacturer.

If this was a government form or entity, I could certainly understand your anger and frustration. But for a can of potato chips? C'mon. Get a grip.

And finally, if it bothers you that much, don't purchase the brand; no one is pointing a gun at your head.

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Trust me, eating the chips will not make you Mexican. You'll ~still~ be a citizen in good standing of the United States of America.

I was completely shocked this afternoon while eating my lunch.

Were you sitting to near the Coffee maker or a blender or
other appliance? Was there water on the Floor?

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.
