Can you Squeeze your hand right into a Pringles Tube

Linny · 05-06-2012, 02:14 PM

Yes or No?

I was watching some "comedy quiz thing" the other night when one of the participants (might have been Johnny Vegas - wasn't paying proper attention) described Pringles as the perfect diet food because as soon as you get too fat you can't squeeze your hand/arm into the tube and hey presto - self regulating diet.

I thought this was pure genius, so wondered who could and who couldn't.

Ok, so I know the plan is flawed according to the size of your hand, how flexible it is and you can always up-end the tube anyway but I figured it is a long time since we had a poll so please answer the question.

No!

To avoid the risk of hurting your hand, you could always try getting them out this way

But don't try this when you are a guest in someone's home!

What could possibly go wrong?

I can. I have silly little hands. Not much use if you've inherited three rather nice rings, from three different people, like I have. I can't wear any of them. Doh!

I can too KB and I have really big hands for a girl. Luckily they are very pliant and I can reach the last pringle no bother at all. My hubby (who is not even vaguely fat) can't even get his knuckles in but all four of my boys can manage and their hands are just as big as his.

What a fascinating subject!

lol truly fascinating I must remember the next time I see a pringles container ready to go to the bin ( aka recyling centre ) to see if I can shuv my hand in - which is the first time I would see a pringles tube !

GettingFaster · 06-06-2012, 06:29 PM

Yes, and I don't have small hands for a girlie. And I'm overweight. But not as big as JV. Not yet anyhow. And of course because you asked the question I HAVE to go and get some Pringles because you've reminded me that they exist. Bah.

Swim-ma · 07-06-2012, 08:43 AM

Ha ha, how many of us have had to buy some Pringles to try this out, must be a marketing ploy there somewhere!!

Yes I can fit my little girlie hands in easily but am falling about laughing remembering a child in my class some years back putting his foot in one to make a pirate's peg leg. Ahoy there me hearties!!

JV, who is this JV. As someone who can type blindfold it's unlikely this is a typing error.
Do TV and JL have a love child ? or are they the same person ?

I have to say, it didn't go down well, opening the Pringles boxes in Sainsbury's, tipping the contents out and jamming my hand in.
