A.K.A. False advertising, inconvenient convenience.
Irk Factor: 1/5
Before we get started here, I need to clear something up. I like Pringles. Their variety of flavours is nothing less than spectacular, and their convenient stackability makes for a relatively mess-free snacking experience. You'll notice I said "relatively", and that is where my quabble with the Pringles begins.
The USP (Unique Selling Point for those non-advertisers) of Pringles is their convenient can, eliminating the mess of eating chips out of a bag. However, after years of eating Pringles, I have noticed a flaw in their prospect.
Don't get me wrong, the can is super convenient for the first half of the pringles, keeping them readily available for immediate snackage. But once you hit the lsat 40-50 Pringles, anyone without muscular distrophy over the age of 5 cannot reach the rest of the Pringles! This causes the need to tip the can in order to retrieve the remainder of this delicious salty snack. BAM! Stop there.
You may be asking, "What's the problem with that, Adam? Are you that lazy?". First of all, yes, but that's not the problem here. Remember Pringles' USP? No mess, right? Well, when you tilt the can, 99.9% of the time there is already a pre-broken pringle or two at the bottom of the can, and now you have crumb spillage. Nobody likes crumb spillage.
Just like that, in a horrifying moment of crumbs spilling and muffled cursing under one's breath, the USP of Pringles is null and void. To solve this issue for future generations of Pringles lovers, I propose a simple, yet effective Pringles Extraction Device, shown below.
Simply pulling on the Revolutionary Pringles Lifter will remove the Pringles mess-free. Seems like a pretty simple concept to me.
But that's just my opinion.
